The Aalto House

Noli Malmi Studio Apartments are in a fantastic location, right by Malmi bus and train stations — you can see the building as soon as you exit. It’s about 15 minutes from Helsinki Airport and under 20 minutes to the city centre, with an easy €3.20 Zone B & C train ticket. A shopping mall and smaller shops nearby make it convenient for groceries and essentials. The studio was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of cupboard space, a comfortable armchair, a table with two chairs, and a small kitchenette. The bed was extremely comfortable with excellent quality linen. Amenities included Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a fridge with freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, two-plate hob, and an oven that also works as a microwave. While there’s no TV, I didn’t find this a problem. A nice touch was the communal fridge downstairs stocked with free milk and coffee. The only disappointment was with the VIP Access booking. I had hoped for a room upgrade since I didn’t need parking, but management never responded to my check-in survey. I understand upgrades aren’t guaranteed, but an explanation would have been appreciated. Overall, though, Noli Malmi is a lovely place to stay and fairly priced considering how expensive Helsinki can be. I’d happily recommend it, with the small note that the VIP Access benefits could be better handled.

Very nice room and bathroom. Excellent breakfast! Parking a little bit expensive (but better than airport hotels).

Excellent breakfast! Sauna and gym were clean and in new condition. Wish I could spend more time there. Unfortunately, there was no seaview in my room.
