I had a very very pleasure stay. The hotel is very confortable, placed in a nice area of Helsinki. The staff is very friendly. The hotel is very quite, so you can relax and enjoy sauna too. And a very good breakfast.

I arrived early and they let me check in which was great. Room was really clean and had everything I needed including a fridge. Bed was comfortable and a good shower too. The reception staff were always really pleasant and spoke amazing English. The breakfast was a good spread and was tasty! Would certainly stay again…

We had a room in second floor without a window. Room was small and worn out, one lamp does not work and the bed creaked when you turned your side, also the room smelled damp. Breakfast was good and the breakfast room was fresh.

They upgraded my room for smaller one and with small bed without my permission. Didnt bother to apologize it either, unprofessional customer service experience. Very unpleasant trip. Breakfast was semi ok, but it is very narrow hotel.

Hi kurwaslobo, Thank you for your review. Due to system error we unfortunately didn't had enough rooms for one without window. There for we upgraded your room to renovated single room. Reception is open 24/7 and best way to resolve any problems is to down to reception. We do our best that the guest have a great stay. Unfortunately we didn't succeed this time. We hope that you give us a second change and choose our hotels in future also. Best regards, Sanna Soikkonen Shift leader front office

Scandic Kallio is a bosic, good hotel that doesn't aim to make a statement of itself. Great access to public transport, friendly staff and delightful service. Beds are good, only the extra bed that our child slept in, was quite squeky. Our room was next to the elevator, but there was no problems with noise. Breakfast was ok, nothing special but also nothing to complain about. The hotel is close enough to the centre, so no time is wasted in travelling, but far enough to get away from "the city buzz".

Given that accommodation in Helsinki comes at a price, the Scandic Kallio represents decent value for money for a city break in this intriguing city. With a stop for four tram lines outside the hotel, it is easily accessible on arrival from the ferry port and railway station, and other parts of the city. Staff on reception were friendly, welcoming and efficient. Our room provided a comfortable bed with all necessary furnishings even if the bathroom and shower facilities were limited for space. The highlight was the excellent buffet breakfast which provided a wide range of cooked and cold items to suit all tastes. Within walking range of the hotel are a variety of bars and restaurants, with the Asian style establishments providing the best value.

I was very happy with this hotel. The room was small, and lacked a cupboard, but the bed was very comfortable, climate control in the room was very effective (which I was very grateful for), and the breakfast menu was extensive and the quality was great.

Our hotel room was impeccably clean, everything functioned properly. The 2-bed room is just enough for 2 people. BREAKFAST in the hotel is excellent, very rich display of best quality delicacies, attentive staff. It is not easy to find the hotel, as from the outside it does not have any distictive decoration to attract attention (maybe some colourful curtains would help or some balloons). The building looks grey and worndown, but once you get in, the first impression is good and when you step in the elevator, you know this is a clean and reliable hotel. You need the magnetic roomcard for the elevator and sauna too.

I stayed in Scandic Kallio for 8 nights at the beginning of June. The hotel has a bar open Monday to Saturday. Normal closing is 11pm, and 1am Saturday. On two of the weekday nights the bar staff told me to leave the bar as they were closing at 10:30. On Saturday night, I was told it was closing at 11:30, an hour and a half early. I told staff I was not ready to leave. Four non-guests came in about 10 minutes later so the bar stayed open. I complained about this to the manager on Monday morning. The only compensation I was offered was a free drink in the hotel bar! I declined this both because it was inadequate and I did not intend to visit that bar again.

Friendly helpful staff, Lovely rooms and a very tasteful breakfast, + sauna in the evenings. We had a great stay in Helsinki, Scandic Kallio ♥️ The hotell is in a area near to bars, small restaurants, music and more. Kiosk to buy tram/bus tickets on the corner, and the tram just outside ( and it goes all the way to the harbour and fairy terminal.) In 10 minutes walk you can get to a green area with a lake, or another direction to saluhallen and a bit further you will walk by the botaniska park. Everything is almost in walking distance. Very positive experience, lovely staff who gave tips of restaurants and more and how to eat Finish coffe cheese in different ways ♥️🇫🇮 We will definitely return/ Hanna and Axel, Malmö Sweden
