We only stayed here because the conference organizers booked us at this hotel - otherwise, I would not recommend it. While the location is nice - between the Opera and Orchestra Halls and near a major park - it's very outdated. Nothing unique - it's a hotel room you could find anywhere, with standard furniture and no sense of place.... more

This is a fine large, probably four-star hotel, much like any other large four-star hotel. I am not sure that I could fault it except for the temperature of the water in the swimming pool - I suspect the Finns like it like that after a sauna but it's not what I am used to. We braved the cold and... more

Our family has stayed in Helsinki serveral times through the years and in various hotels. We stayed at this hotel for about a week. Enjoyed the breakfast bar and the room was larger than usual for Helsinki standards. Price was a little lower than average. We stayed in room 735. Unfortuneatly it was not very clean. We had to do... more

Its a good hotel, though a bit dated. But it was the best value for money in a country where hotels are very expensive. What I liked: * Great location - Finnair bus from the airport stops there. Its a 5 min tram ride (or 15 min walk) to the city centre. * Nice clean rooms * Friendly staff *... more

I stayed here in October 2008 on a business trip. The location is outside the city centre. The good thing is that the airport bus is stopping just at the back side of the hotel. Since January 2008 this is not a Hilton anymore but a 4-star Scandic Hotel. The room was comfortable with wireless internet access in the room.... more

This hotel offered an extremely reasonable rate (by Helsinki prices) of £46 per night bed and breakfast so I wasn't expecting anything particularly lavish. In fact it is a big hotel conveniently situated on a main road with easy access to buses and trams into the centre of town. My room was large and also had a large bathroom with... more

This is a large hotel with over 500 rooms, the pool is on the top floor along with the sauna. The room was clean, warm. Bed was comfortable with extra bed clothes and pillows. It had no tea making facilities, which for this price is the negative point I had for the hotel. They can be purchased beside the hotel... more

I stayed at the Scandic Continental recently on a business trip. While it was adequate, it left a lot to be desired. The rooms were nice, with heated tile in the bathroom. However, there was no safe/lock box in the room. The hotel prides itself on being environmentally friendly and so there were no extras such as lotion, shower cap,... more
