This hotel is located in the Hakaniemi district, a short ride away from central Helsinki. The room was large, modern and well appointed with large windows offering spectacular views of the Baltic Sea. We ate a meal at their restaurant and sampled some wonderful local cuisine including salmon and reindeer meat. I visited the beautiful Helsinki Cathedral which is just... More

beautiful location, just a nice short walk to the center. The hotel might not be newly decorate but 70's interiors are well maintained and give it a touch of originality. Extremely clean, large rooms with coffee facilities. Spa and swimmingpool are nice and cosy. Excellent sumptuous breakfast. A high class experience. More

We were treated quite nicely after we complained about the state of the room. It's from the early 80's as explained to us by their manager who apologized refusely and upgraded us because there were so many problems with our first room: noisy, stains on carpet, holes in sheets, hairs all over the place. Everything is quite shabby but at... More

This is an old Intercontinental property, which gives some of the interiors a slight 70s feel. Rooms are always high standard though, with very comfortable beds and good bathrooms. Surprisingly dull lobby restaurant at dinner though, which Hilton should make an effort to tart up and make more appealing. You will get your standard Club or Burger, but without any... More

Helpful and kind stuff. The hotel is just few minutes away from city center. The room was very comfortable with a good view. reakfast was excellent, a wide variety of good choices in an elegant setting. No hair dryer in the room. The swimming pool is rather small and always full of children. Saunas are valso ery small. More

Nice room with great view over the bay. great location and the best breakfast I've ever had during my years of traveling! Yes, oldfashion interior but clean. Loved my stay. More

I’m sure this place 20 years ago was very impressive but it seems to me that the Hilton chain has been skating by on a reputation for far too long. They charged me nearly 75 american dollars for an “upgrade” to a superior room that I found out in the end was no different than a regular king except for... More

All the staff in reception was friendly and helpful. Our room was on 3. floor with nice view to town. The room and decor are a bit dated, but are very clean, nice and spacious. We wish the bath towels were larger size. The breakfast buffet provided by the hotel was very nice with a wide array of choices. Warm... More

I've stayed at the Strand tens of times. It used to be fairly good, but in recent years its started to seem more like a budget motel than a 4* hotel. The room doors require considerable force and a special technique to ope. When mentioning this to staff I was told "you must be doing it wrong!" Since when can... More
