From looking to all the bad reviews upon this hotel I thoroughly enjoyed my time there with my boyfriend. The rooms were gorgeous, very comfy and a big bathroom :) The whole layout of the hotel when you walked in was big spacious and spotless and the staff were lovely. The breakfast every morning was amazing we could have spent... more

Corporate hotel near the quay-side, about 10 minutes' walk to the centre. Possibly the most 'well, that was OK' hotel I've ever stayed at! Totally OK for a business stay with all the facilties you might expect from a 3 or 4 star. Rooms were clean if a little narrow and basic. Weird colour scheme in bathrooms - deep cream... more

My third stay in a Scandic (second time in Helsinki). I really have mixed feeling about this company. Now I can confirm that the standard is below the average of the chain in Finland. The grand Marina is located in a nice spot of the city (in front of the port from which ferries leave to traval accros Scandinavia), the... more

I stayed at the Scandic Grand Marina as part of a conference party. The hotel, which is quite large, I found to be comfortable and pleasant. My room was well-furnished. It had rather a small high up window and so you had to stand on your bed to see out (towards the docks). The hotel itself is a converted dockside... more

We traveled from Stockholm to Helsinki on the Viking Line Cruise ship and planned to spend a few days in Helsinki. The hotel web site had an offer we couldn't refuse...55Euros/night all inclusive with breakfast. Once we exited the terminal, the hotel was right there. The hotel is a short walk to the major sites in Helsinki. The location was... more

Location is near the harbour, on a 20 minutes walking distance from town center. It’s a big hotel with very nice rooms. We had two rooms: one was clean, the other not very clean. Something was broken, and within five minutes replaced. Front desk staff had a non-personal, detached approach. I the morning we had obscure wake up calls through... more

The hotel did not have my reservation. I kept a copy, which kept them occupied for about 10 min, no apology. they finally found the reservation, which was for a totally different date. Very worrying, as they took the full amount off my credit card when the reservation was made. The hotel looks good, both from the outside and the... more

We loved our stay here specially because we got a free upgrade to a bigger room with beautiful view and skylight. The staff was nice. Free internet access. Awesome breakfast. Close to city center and market. Superclose ( 1 block) to Viking Cruise line. Totally would recommend this hotel. more

It would be difficult to beat the combination of quality and price this hotel offers. It is a bit of a walk (4 blocks) to the central market area and then a varying distance from there to other tourist sites. However, there is a tram line only a block away that goes directly into the heart of Helsinki. We found... more
