We have stayed in most of the big, international brand hotels in Helsinki over the years but this was the first time in a smaller, independant hotel. And what a really nice surprise it was. Ok, not such a great surprise as there are so many good reviews alread on Tripadvisor for it but this is a great place to... More

It was a fantastic stay in the Helka Hotel runned by the YWCA of Finland. It is very close to the center, Room was very confortable , clean and warm

We spent a couple of days in Helsinki with my significant other and spent a night in Helka. We really enjoyed our stay and wished we had had a chance to stay longer. The 6th floor room was quiet, clean, comfortable and cosy with little luxury of a private steam sauna. Stylish furniture, good space to move around, very comfortable... More

This hotel is very close to the center and to the bus and metro station. It`s clean and cheap if you can find to get a good deal booking with a fligth package. Also the breakfast included is good.

We stayed at the Helka Hotel 6 nights. It is centrally located, free wifi in the lobby, quiet rooms due to double glazing on the windows. Breakfast buffet food is diverse and bountiful. There are one or two bicycles for rent, tables outdoors along the sidewalk for an evening drink, free sauna on the top floor.

This 3-star jewel could very well be the best hotel I've ever stayed in. I've enjoyed here facilities that even some 4-star hotels didn't have - sauna, digital TV with internet, etc. The room I stayed in, despite overlooking a backyard, was very modern, fully-equipped and I simply loved the big poster of a mountain landscape on the ceiling! Everything... More

First of all, the location ist quite good. Close to everything... The hotel itself looks a littlebit rundown, but the rooms have a nice style. the bathroom was a bit tiny, the beds could be more comfortable and the breakfast was disappointing... really nice alto furniture all over the place... we stayed there for 5 nights. it was ok, but...

The hotel is located in a renovated old building within a walking distance from the main railway station and not far away to other Helsinki's attractions: the cathedral, town square and Opera House. Both public areas and the rooms make a very good impression in terms of the quality and faciliites. Wireless Internet and car parking are available free of... More
