I stayed here with friends during our annual Christmas trip abroad and this has to be one of the finest hotels we have stayed in. Beautifully decorated, excellent amenities and knowledgeable staff which is pretty much all you need but throw in the fantastic location and you are on to a winner. It is a massive hotel and houses a... More

I've stayed twice in Scandic Simonkentta while in the city of Helsinki for short business trips and would definitely stay there again. I had to work for several hours in my room and I especially enjoyed its cosiness. The room was nicely arranged, the bed was comfortable, the lighting was well-thought and the desk spacious for those who need it.... More

Excellent location - very close to centre and postioned on top of underground bus station & metro if needed. Car parking availalble in very large public underground carpark - 50% discount on weekends when you stay in hotel (cost 15 euros instead of 30 for overnight stay) - Tip make sure you note the number of your parking space when...

As Im travelling a lot as part of my jobs I get to see a lot of hotels - this is below standard. The location and rooms are ok - but there were no minibar and no free water in the room, which I learned later was because Im not part of Scandics loyalty program. My room was silent -... More

Location, location, location… Also breakfast is good; the ‘typical’ Scandic style with the scrambled eggs, sausages and Carelian pastries.

Location: Walking distance to the central station. There is also a tram stop right out front of the hotel. We found the tram very convenient (especially tram 3) as could travel to the main tourist sites which we were interested in. One tram stop away from the central station for people who do not want to walk. From the lobby,... More

I usually choose Scandic because of good breakfast buffet but this time I was bit disappointed as the selection of items was not as good as previously. In addition there were not enough staff at breakfast as many tables were full of dirty plates waiting to be carried away. In addition we had to ask them to refill the bread... More

Ii is also very well situated - only abouit five minute walking distance from the Metro, Railway Station and shuttle bus to the airport and in less time than this you can be riding on the trams that are a picturesque part of city...
