Hotell i Helsingfors

tres bon accueil, petit déjeuner délicieux dans une salle avec du charme, pas de baignoire mais une grande douche, chambre confortable, hotel situé à coté d'un restaurant excellent

Came on a random trip from Canada in july 2010, absolutly fantastic staff!!! Great little hotel and excellent location! Thanks again!

Great location convenient to downtown right on a tram stop. Best value in Helsinki on a reasonable budget. Keep in mind this is Not serviced during your stay (no fresh towels or cleanup) and check-in can be tricky without a cel phone to call in (there are no staff on site). Besides that it's great with separate living room and kitchen from the bedroom. Will use Hellstan again if returning to Helsinki.

Room was fairly basic but a good size and clean. Location was quite good, an easy 10 minute walk or short tram ride to the main downtown area. Full kitchenette and grocery store two blocks away. Bathroom was good with a decent shower. In quiet area. Price was excellent for pricey Helsinki. Reception is self-service with a code to get your key and a phone number for any concerns, so a bit self service. Overall, good value for your money in Finland.

Having stayed in the hotel many times times knew what to expect. Room little tight for two people for 10 days. Breakfast is great and sitting in bar area very relaxing. There seems to be very limitted staffing as getting someone on the phone took many calls and time. Housekeeping was sloppy but bathroom was clean and towels changed regularly. Location is the best with easy access to public transportation and center.

They've taken care of all the things that really matter--morning breakfast was excellent, room design and amenities were great (even our 'standard' room was just fine) and if you're planning to see Helsinki, the central location was perfect. Even taxi arrangements at 4:15am went without a hitch. We'd stay again. (This isn't a 'canned' review--I'm a real tourist!)

The hotel in general is nice. Personally I didn't like the bed - it was too soft. Also I didn't find the breakfast so good as it was 2 years ago: the variety of products is reach but not very tasty.

The breakfast was wonderful! Room was not so clean.

Hyvä paikka normiyöpymiselle Helsingissä. Runsas aamiainen

The hotel has a fairly central location - just a few hundred meters from the train station, and near to the Kamppi shopping centre. The breakfast is really nice. The room wasn't particularly pretty, but served the purpose for one night.

Stayed in executive room. Very comfortable. Staff on Reception staff lovely , very friendly and helpful. Excellent English. Room service too limited time available and restaurant expensive. Lots of cafes and good restaurants nearby. Internet free but very slow ! Sauna clean and small . No one there so good to relax . The bus and boat tours a must. Ask the staff. Hotel beside bus station ( bus to airport few steps away and cheap ) and rail station.

Good location, helpful staff, good breakfast, modern rooms, but on a very hot day our room's air conditioner did not do the job, so they gave us a fan. Easy bus route to/from the airport via a Finnair shuttle for 6.3 euros. Business center with internet access.

The location can not be any better. You get great service there and everyone is very friendly and helpful. The only thing is that there is no AC and the first room we stayed at was facing the street. At night, after a whole day of sun exploure, the room got really hot. We couldn't open the window to sleep since the hotel is close to the city center and some bars. The next night we asked for a room with window open to the court yard, it was much better. In general, the place is great for the price in Helsinki.

立地は良いが中央駅から少し離れているので、トランクを持っているならトラム10かタクシーがおすすめ。小綺麗な学生寮みたいな部屋で、過度な期待さえしなければ値段相応ながら安心して休める。朝食もフィンランドならではのパンやサーモンを出してくれるけど、二泊以上するならマーケットに行っても良い。サウナも設備にあるけど9時から20時くらいまでしか使えないし準備が大変らしいので予め確認するか余所のサウナを使いましょう。

First, I would definitely stay here again. It's close to the sights for a tourist, the rooms were comfy, the breakfast was good and convenient, and you get to sweat with some naked Finns for free. The price was right and I thought it was a great value. The Grand Marina is a big hotel located near the main harbor area in Helsinki. It's walkable to all the sights, but being on the periphery, it's nice and quiet. It's about a 15-20 minute pleasant walk from the main train station. There's a supermarket nearby, but not a lot of bars / restaurants in the immediate area. However, the bar / restaurant at the hotel is nice. Tram #4 stops about a block away from the hotel. It's close to the Viking, Linda Link, and Suommenlinna ferries. Despite the fact that it's pretty much in a dead-end area (on an island), there's a lot of traffic due to the ferries, but I didn't find the traffic noisy at all. Despite the proximity to the harbor, there's not much of a view from most of the hotel due to other buidlings. I was able to check in early after an overnight flight, so I was pretty delighted no matter what the hotel did after that. The room was okay (a little small), but very functional and you don't feel crowded at all. I guess the hotel is limited because it is built into an old warehouse, but in a land with plenty of space, the rooms could be bigger. It was very clean, the bed was comfy, and there was enough space for all my stuff. The hotel gets pretty busy. It seems more a business hotel than a tourist hotel. The freebie breakfast gets a little crowded at times, but the food is excellent (big spread with all the usual Scandinavia breakfast fare). There's a free sauna to complete your Finnish experience by sitting next to a bunch of naked Finns. Try it, I'm not a sauna-guy, but it was fun (my naked Finns were quite chatty and sociable despite what I read). There's also a little gym there and free bikes for use, another fun thing for this Helsinki tourist. I had only good experiences with the staff. They were very nice and helpful. Check-in and check-out was smooth. There's a little gift shop at the hotel with standard Helsinki prices. I think there's free parking at the hotel. The WiFi worked perfectly from my room. I thought it was a very good value. The price was at the lower end of Helsinki hotels (my room was about 140 usd/night), so I was pretty happy.

Althought the room was on the small side, this hotel had a comfortable bed, quiet room with double-paned windows and excellent wi-fi. The decor was pleasing and the breakfast was stellar.

hotel was very pleasant and staff very friendly. the first day there was a problem : when i got back my room had not been cleaned; however, they cleaned it when i went to dinner (which was complimentary) and left a small bottle of champagne by way of apology!

Around 5~10min from Pasila station by walking, not as convenient as downtown Helsinki. 附近不如赫爾辛基市中心熱鬧 離Pasila車站走路約5~10分鐘

Interesting design of the room, but strange at the same time - U have no separate showers bathroom - its the same space as for the bed, half divided glass. So, other person, sleeping on the bed, hears loud noise of the falling water. And room was cold.

Wie immer alles Bestends im GLO! Nettes Personal und tolle Zimmer

good mall down the street had everything needed and the hotel lobby for drinks was nice

Very personable. Our room was having A/C issues and they quickly rectified it. Comfortable, clean rooms.

nous sejournons souvent à cet hôtel, que ça soit en famille ou seul. Idéalement placé, chambres correctes, bon petit déjeuner, personnel aimable, sauna à louer pas cher.

quite old fashioned and a little bit worn-out place. but excellent location and cheap price.

Hotel was clean and hotel style was very chic! Hotel staff was very friendly, helpful, and informative. Thumbs up on the location. The hotel restaurant "Grill It" had great food, but the food took a long time with almost an hour wait after we ordered. Breakfast was just as good!

City is small, so location was not bad, although the area is quite commercial. Buffet breakfast was fairly good, despite bad coffee. Room was tiny. Excellent blackout curtains for those 20-hr sunny days in summer. Helsinki is a costly city; this hotel was a decent value in relative terms.

I was very impressed with the hotel. Our request for a queensize bed could not be honoured but they did accomodate us the first night in a suite at no extra cost. The following day we moved into a room with a double bed. Thee suite was lovely but right across from the hotel was a disco and having arrived after midnight and a long flight it was a little noisy but it was ok. The staff was very accomodating. Would recommend the Simonkentta to anyone. Centrally located and with the weather in Finland the convience of being able to go shopping without really going outside is a plus. Rooms were very clean and modernly decorated. It even has a small refrigerator .

The hotel is just two blocks from the Central Railroad Station and the Metro Station is just across the back courtyard. The front desk staff was very helpful. I asked them several questions about transportation and they gave me timetables, maps and good information. The breakfast was great. Lots of typical European choices. The room was spacious and very clean. The traffic noise was pretty loud with the window open, but closed it was very quiet in the room. Helsinki is a very walkable city and everything we wanted to see was within a 20 minute walk from the hotel.

The hotel was an excellent value when compared to other hotels in the area. We had prebooked an non cancelable room. The hotel is about a 10 minute walk from the center of the city. The hotel is very large and has all the amenities; king bed, coffee maker in room, separate bath and shower, refrig, and a great full gym, finnish bath(sauna) and a swimming pool. It would have been good to have known that the Finnair Bus goes directly from the airport to a stop right in front of the hotel. It cost 6.20 euros. We would stay there again.

Good deal for the price

The best location in Helsinki......

I ALWAYS stay at this hotel in Helsinki because of the great location next to the main rial station and the bus station. The staff is always helpful and very friendly and goes out of their way to serve my every need. The breakfast buffet daily on the 10th floor is filling if not as excellent as it once was but it still beat most US hotels. Having an internet station in the lobby and WiFi in the rooms is a most welcome addition. I just love the place.

Sehr freundliches Persomal, gute Aussstattung, interessante Architektur, tolle Bar mit Aussichtsterrasse im 14. Stock

Modern hotel is a great central location. A little pricy compared to others in the vicinity but rooms are well appointed, lots of space and very very clean. I have stayed here a number of times and will do again.

Opera shopping

Personnel efficace et souriant, excellent petit déjeuner, chambre spacieuse, bonne literie. A recommander!

Hyvällä sijainnilla oleva hotelli, jossa kohtelias ja ystävällinen henkilökunta. Kaunis sisustus. Aamiainen erinomainen.

A very trendy hotel which is close to railway station and trams. Very friendly staff and great breakfast. Free wifi at 1 million bits per second download speed.

A potentially great hotel with a good restaurant, excellent young children's play area and some excellent staff. Close to railway station - 10-15 minutes walk. Lacked attention to detail in room service that I'd expect from this level of hotel - soap dispenser empty, unable to open fridge without getting a key.

The hotel has a friendly staff and offers queit and restfull time . The french cuisine restourant is nice too. It is proximate location to all city attractions and the harbour.

The rooms are nice and large. Food in the resturang were excelent and service fast. Highly recommended.

Located in the city center. Service was outstanding. Wonderful experience!

I had a peacefull night. Cosy room. Like home: even own balcony.

We had a one bedroom apartment here for the same price as many nearby hotels charge for just a room. It was roomy with a kitchenette, nice to be able to make some simple meals ourselves after two weeks on the road with only restaurant meals. There is no service, apart from changing the linen every third day. This was ok with us. The location is only five to ten minutes walk away from Helsinki city centre. Recommended!
