We stayed in the Palace in its last few weeks. The location is fabulous, really handy for the city centre, shopping and the ferries. Outside the hotel looks like a snapshot from a 1970s film. Inside, everything from the wooden doors of the lifts to the funky furniture is classy and cool. Our room was huge with a view of... more

My 12 year old son and I stayed at The Palace Hotel based on reviews on TA. Since we were traveling as mother/son, I was looking for convenience to citiy sights, access to a ferry to Tallinn and a safe and clean location. All of these were successfully met with our stay at The Palace. We were greeted warmly, enjoyed... more

This hotel is straight out of the 70s and, because of that, totally interesting. It's like you have traveled back 30 years when you walk in the lobby, take the elevators or go to your room. For that reason, I found that it had a lot of charm. The downside is that things are a little run-down, but if you... more

I was unhappy about the following in relation to the 2 rooms that we were allocated on check-in: - (1) One of the rooms had a distinct smell of drains/sewage when we arrived. On inspecting the bathroom, we found that the bath had a brown substance (which had the look of sewage) and what looked like an insect in it.... more

I have come to believe that in Finland good quality comes as standard. This is also true for this hotel. There is nothing special about the room - moderate size, clean, has all facilities you'd expect from a good hotel. Perhaps a bit small for 4 star and too low on non-Finnish TV channels. Great breakfast. Very quiet - being... more

We came over to Helsinki on the ferry from Talllin and we spotted our hotel from the ferry as it is right on the port front. This was just a 1st class hotel and from start to finish everything was brilliant, All the rooms are on the 9th floor and there is a nice seating area where breakfast is served... more

We stayed here last October as part of a trip to Helsinki and Tallinn. The hotel itself is a bit of a 1970s throwback (especially the lounge area!) but it is great value for money in a fabulous location. It is within walking distance to the cathedral and shopping areas as well as over looking the harbour. Helsinki is a... more

Excellent service. Not so expensive, and worth it. Large rooms with sitting area. Cleaness. Excellent location: overlooking the harbour; within walking didstance: two cathedrals, market, railway station, restaurants, shopping area. Good and copious breakast; in the afternoon you can sit on the balcony and have snacks and wine. more

I came to Helsinki for a conference where others were booked into the Hotel Arthur. After having looked at reviews on tripadvisor and seeing the Arthur was not recommended (indeed, others had a terrible time there--old musty rooms, brown water, etc.), I found a much less expensive rate through the Hotel Kamp web site and decided to book at the... more
