Main thing: the rooms are nice, the beds comfy, bathroom good, nice shower, we slept alright. We just could not figure out the heating, found discription in the desk drawer but still way too hot with no possibility to open a window. We chose this hotel being environmentally labelled with the Swan. Breakfast was okay, not more than that for... More

I have stayed here three or four times, and always loved the place! It's nice and quite, a bit away from the busiest city centre, but that guarantees a good night sleep (no noice!). If you arrive Helsinki by train, boat or bus from the airport, the hotel is located a nice 15-20 minute walk from any station. There are... More

Have stayed here three times , rooms are basic , (a bit dated) and clean (Scandinavian minimalistic) ,the location is great and central . Parking can be a bit of a hassle . breakfast buffet is Scandinavian (i.e. good for meat lovers) and their Karelian pies are a must try for any tourist! across the street there is a "Siva"... More

Spent a week at Sokos Aleksanteri in January. Stayed on the fifth floor, and they mentioned something about it being an “upgraded” room. Cost of rooms are not bad. Service is very good both at the desk and bar/restaurant. Everyone speaks English. Fitness room and sauna on the -1 floor. A few free weights and some air pressure type weight... More

The hotel is located about a 10-15 minutes walk from the centre of Helsinki and also very conveniently situated for both the number 6 and 3B trams. On arrival we were... More

My room in the older part of the hotel was a good size, clean and smart. The location is good for central Helsinki, restaurants etc. Staff are very friendly and helpful, free internet connection is a bonus. Breakfast was OK - a good selection but sometimes crowded, didn't eat in the restaurant at night as there is plenty of choice... More

The worst part of the stay was breakfast. It was very crowded. We had to sit at the bar, which was not adequately cleaned from the night before. People were sitting on the couches in the lobby trying to eat. The eggs were disgusting. I don't know how they can screw up scrambled eggs, but they tasted like mush. The... More

Just back from Helsinki, from this hotel - everything's just great in there! Absolutely nothing to complain about!!!Only 1 - too expensive, but that's the thing with all Helsinki hotels.
