Let's put this straight: This hotel (which is co-located with a training institute and originally likely was meant for the training participants) is not pretending to be anything else than an OK overnight stay for 25-30% less than the ordinary business hotel in the outskirts of Helsinki. If your plan is to find something like this, you will not be... More

We slept 3 nights in this building with my wife. The location is not interesting for tourists - you can catch the tram if you walk 300 m but the city centre is far away, about 30 min by tram. We only went there as part of a big group, and this hotel has many rooms.

Honest three stars - poor, but clean, the room is nothing superfluous - but spend most it, as in Helsinki for a sum decent hotel, you will not find. Afflicts only paid wi-fi...but spend a night before flight to Europe - is OK. Have free parking

Helsinki is an expensive place to stay, and if you want to save a bit of money the Ava Hotel is a nice choice. It's not very centrally located; about a 50 minute walk from the central station. However, public transport stops just around the corner, with buses departing every minute to the city centre and a tram service, as... More

AVA hotel is a little unusual, but a good option. There are no double rooms, only single and twin. Some rooms are studio rooms with kitchenette and utensils. The rooms are clean and warm, and well stocked. There is a sauna in the basement, a free communal kitchen and a free laundry. Breakfast is buffet style and pretty good actually... More

I stayed in the hotel for a few nights and it was very comfy, I had a good rest there. Unfortunately, it's a bit out of the city centre, so it might not be for everyone. There is quite a good tram connection, though. The furniture is basic but really okay, including a TV. The lobby is nicely furnished and... More

I stayed here three times already and I can only recommend this hotel. The rooms are clean and simple furnished (two single-beds, desk, chair and television). The bathroom is not that big but if you know Etap hotel bathrooms it's big :-) The staff is friendly and helpful. For me this is the perfect choice if you want a good... More
