Scandic Simonkentta

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 location was perfect for us. Close to shopping and within walking distance to the market by the docks. Very good restaurants nearby. Since we were taking a bus to our next destation the hotel was perfect because it is located above the main long distant bus depot. There is also a shopping mall below the hotel.

Helpful staff, free wifi, very good breakfast, central location and good price. No fridge in room though but free ice machine outside.

Very good location, next to railway station and Museum of Modern Art (Kiasma), as well as all the shopping options. Great service and extremely good value for the price.

Great hotel, checked in late after flight. Next morning went sight seeing, great location and close to shopping and bars.

Im Bad ist eine Fließendekorleiste die vorsteht, diese hat wohl noch nie einen Staubwedel gesehen.

friendly staff, clean, great location

Reception staff very friendly, helpful and efficient - service with a smile! Rooms were ok, very clean, comfortable beds. Pillows were very lumpy and need to be replaced - felt like generations of guests had already slept on these. Bathroom had only one set of towels available although we found a second set stuffed in the wardrobe. Many international TV channels (Italian, BBC, German, French) but missing CNN (at least couldn't find it). Breakfast included, wide variety of items, including eggs, sausages, meatballs, fish... All in all good, above-average experience but not outstanding. Would stay there again.

Very excellent hotel right in the heart of Helsinki. The staff was great, the food was exquisite and the rooms were clean and modern. Great for business or pleasure.
