We loved this hotel, being basically attached to the rail station it was extremely easy to find the hotel and surprisingly very quiet. The hall ways are long, but that’s due to the sheer size of this hotel. The breakfasts were excellent, although it does tend to get a little busy. Due to this, they encourage guests to book their seating time which was appreciated. We were celebrating a special occasion and so the hotel gifted us with a free celebratory drink which was a nice touch.

Great hotel in a lovely historic building attached to the railway station. The central location makes it ideal for exploring the city, either on foot or by tram/bus. I had a large room with comfortable bed, Very quiet and well furnished. Good buffet breakfast. Lovely bar with great atmosphere and a good range of drinks. All staff friendly and helpful. I'd definitely stay here again.

Very chic and centrally located hotel. A very good breakfast buffet which ran til 11am on weekends. Rooms very nicely designed and a spacious and nicely renovated restaurant. Hard to beat the location which means the city is on your doorstep and the waterfront is a short tram ride or walk away. We had a great stay!

At the upper end of my budget but well worth it! Was brilliant to walk off connecting airport train and be at the hotel in a 100 yards or so. Room was superb, very comfortable with extra bed ready as booked for our family of 3. Buffet breakfast was excellent, staff very friendly and helpful at all times. Would definitely recommend and stay again any time I am back in Helsinki!

This place was fantastic! It is in a building from the early 1900s that is immediately to the side of the main train station. Super convenient if coming from the airport by train. An art deco building that is like stepping back in time. Feels like you are in a movie set from the 1920's. The guest rooms are lovely and fully modernized. No train nor street noise from our room. Very quiet. Amazing breakfast buffet that includes everything, including some fun traditional foods from the area. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Not only s this Scandic convenient, located right next to the rr station, it is also a major architectural monument. The architect was Eliezer Saarinen, the father of eero Saarinen of St. Louis arch & TWA terminal fame). It is spacious like the Pentagon and the rooms are similarly spacious , comfortable and new. I am so glad I booked here. It is also most convenient to get around town with train & tram right nearby
