Not very distinguished from the outside, but this was a decent place to stay. Really easy to get into the centre of town. Polite staff and a room perfectly acceptable for my overnight stay (though the loo did smell so perhaps the drains need checking). Great free wifi in room. My room had twin single beds - and they did... More

I stayed here for a couple of nights and was quite impressed. A very friendly and efficient check-in (it's worth mentioning that, contrary to other reviews, all the staff speak impeccable English). The room was an adequate size, extremely clean and very light and airy. The usual TV, mini-bar, tea and coffee making facilities, etc. And a comfortable bed. Small... More

Being a sound sensitive person i was really unlucky to be in a room with what can only be described as a noisy generator next door/above?? - not sure if it was a ventilation shaft? but sufficiently loud to prevent me from being able to actually sleep. however, the bar staff were excellent and made wonderful cups of tea...thanks to...

The hotel is nice, although nothing special. It is located near enough to the train station to walk from there, and reception is open 24/7. the bar at the hotel itself is nice, and has a good smokers area, as well as a terrace where you get sun till the late evening (in summer, of course haha). The rooms are... More

I stayed at Helka for 2 nights. It was just a short 10 minute walk from the Central Railway Station (Rautatieasema) and though looks unassuming from the outside, was well kept and clean inside.

We stayed at the Helka hotel for 3 nights. We greatly enjoyed it. We weren't that convinced when we first saw the outside: the hotel housed inside a grey, dull tower. However, the reception area is clean and tidy. The gentleman who checked us in was friendly and efficient. In fact, all staff were extremely helpful and nothing was ever... More

We've passed a great stay in Helka Hotel. It's very good located in the Helsinki center. Single rooms are quite small but good designed. The general atmosphere is calm with good breakfast, good cleanliness and very kind service!
