The central location and a great panoramic view over Hakaniemi is an unquestionable plus of the hotel. It is located within a few steps from the metro station that makes it possible to reach any corner of Helsinki very quickly. There's sauna, sadly open only for 3 hours a day. Breakfast is amazing: local snacks, berries, sweets and vegan treats. Staff is very helpful and friendly.

The hotel is pretty small and crowded, during breakfast hours on the weekends it was impossible to find a free table. Cleanliness could be improved: I found a lock of women hair between my freshly changed towels, sheets had yellow stains. Bed was super soft and uncomfortable. There could have been a kettle in the room - otherwise one has to pay extra for tea or coffee from the front desk.

Hotel has a very good place, near metro station, the room was comfy and clean. Bed had a very good mattress. The Bathroom had all amenities towels and everything you need, even a small hand held shower near toilet that was new for us. The room had central AC but I think it wasn't doing nothing we raised the temperature but there was constant 20 degrees Celsius which was ok. The hotel had decent selection of breakfast food, but the space to sit was always full, they have very limited space in the breakfast. The hotel over all was great and we would come back again when we will visit Helsinki.

The bad had only one quilt, we don't like to share, but we manged to survive with only 1.

quite spacious room for two. Breakfast spread was excellent, with plenty of healthy options. their innovative idea of reducing wastage of food (by stating how much wastage per person in gms on previous day at the entrance of breakfast area makes you well aware of their sustainable approach. most of the touristic attractions including south harbor are at a walking distance of 20-30mins. metro station is just next to the place. we didnt face any issue in late night checkin 0200 hrs. overall, a very good experience.

we liked everything.

The location is fantastic, it took, like, 20 minutes or something to walk from the Central Train Station, and the metro/tram/bus stops are literally in front of the hotel, so you'd have no logistics problems whatsoever. It's an easy and nice walk to the city center, and a few delicious restaurants are in the neighbourhood, so again, the location is just great. And they have saunas in the hotel! The room was very comfy and clean. And even though the windows faced the street, there was very little street noise which is a huge boon to me--I didn't even use my earplugs at all. The breakfast was fantastic; so unbelievably good and delicious, and the cinnamon rolls were the best-best-best ever! The stuff was helpful and friendly--many thanks to the lovely ladies at the reception! You rock! P.S. If you stay for a few days in the city and would like to use public transport, definitely get a Helsinki City Card, it'll save you a lot of headache (you can purchase it at the reception).

Fantastic location within walking distance of the city centre, with Metro, Tram and Bus stops are right outside the hotel if required or if you are going further afield. Airport '600' bus stops right outside hotel, which is very handy. This hotel also has one of the best breakfast selections I have ever experienced with many hot and cold options. All in all a very enjoyable experience.

Breakfast gets very busy if the hotel is full and is as well managed as can be in the circumstances. Shower temperature noticeably fluctuated a bit during my stay, but not uncomfortably so.

Good location, metro, bus and tram stop in front of the hotel. Walking distance (about 15 - 20 minutes) to the cathedral and another 5 min to the port. Clean, simple rooms. Good breakfast.

Information at the reception desk that I should have breakfast as soon as possible as it gets crowded at the later hour. When you are on holidays and you're in a different time zone you really don't want to put the alarm on to get to breakfast early. I did get to breakfast around 9 and it was really crowded but did manage to get a table and there was enough food and have no complains about it. Maybe it would be less crowded if they wouldn't tell people to come early, some like to be early, some to be late. I know I'd go a bit later.

The best things were the staff and the breakfast. The staff was very helpful and understanding in everything (we had a bit of issues with check in, but the staff solved everything perfectly). The breakfast had lots of choices for every taste and was definitely worth the price. The location of the hotel was good, but there's street renovation going on at the moment, so it's pretty noisy.

The hotel needs some upgrading. The room was very hot since the morning (sun shining directly to the windows). The hairdryer didn't work (although to the hotel's credit, they provided another one). It took forever for the hot water to come in the shower in the morning, so I'm not sure how ecological was my shower where half of the time I was just waiting for the water.

This hotel is in a great location, very close to the center of Helsinki. There are numerous public transit options available within a block of the hotel. And breakfast is amazing.

The hotel maintenance was nonexistent. I asked about a few minor repairs in my room and you would’ve thought I asked the world. The hotel provided fans to alleviate a less-than-satisfactory air conditioning unit, but other repairs involved tape instead of asking a maintenance colleague to stop by and make a more permanent fix. This was disappointing.

The location is absolutely perfect for getting around the center, with great dining options just a short walk away. The breakfast is excellent, and easily the best that I have had at any Scandic hotel, with standard European fare plus some local dishes. My windows overlooked the square, but the sound isolation was good, and the bed was comfortable, so I slept very well during my stay. The staff deserve a special mention, as they were very friendly and ready to help with any questions. Well done!

No complaints here.

The breakfast was a dream: everything you can think of, plus karelian pies, beetroot "meatballs", herring, salmon etc. The hotel is located opposite a bus/tram/metro station and a market place. We took a bus from the airport and descended almost exactly in front of the hotel. It is also very close to city center. BTW tap water in Helsinki (I guess it was not only in this hotel?) is wonderfully cold and refreshing. The room (not "standard" as we booked but something better) was nice and quiet, with a view to the Hakaniemi market hall.
