On the outside, the hotel doesn't look like much but the (newer, refurbished) rooms are quite nice and sufficient for a weekend break. The bed was really comfy and the TV had a good range of English-language channels, and imports in Finland are always shown subtitled rather than dubbed. Breakfast was excellent and the staff were friendly - the first... more

Room was just as pictured on the hotel website. Comfortable bed. Nice selection of food for the included breakfast (6:30-10 M-Sat, 7-11 Sun). LCD TV with some English language channels and American shows and movies. Rooms are kept tidy. Central location in the city - short walk to the central station, and a tram stop (6 and 3T&B) and metro... more

My wife and I stayed here on our 10-day journey thru Norway, Estonia, and Finland. I am surprised at some of the low ratings for this hotel. This is not the most opulent hotel but the rooms are large, the restaurant on the second floor has awesome food for dinner especialy, and it is so centrally located. Plus the price... more

I have stayed there few times on aa business trips, but I could imagine going there on a holiday also. Last time I was there was a week ago. I was unfortunate to get a smoking room. I asked the receptionist for a non-smoking room, but he said the hotel was full. It was only 4pm when I arrived, so... more

I am surprised to read the other reviews of this hotel because I have to say my stay in it was excellent! I found the staff friendly and helpful, the rooms clean, comfortable and very quiet. It was also very central. I note others have said that the rooms are small - I thought mine was average hotel room size... more

When we arrived at the hotel , we encountered at the reception a man who seemed rather unhappy to see us! After presenting our reservation details, I enquired if we could have a non-smoking room. The man replied curtly and loudly that they had only smoking rooms available. Since we wanted to find if the room smelt highly of cigarette... more

The Cumulus Kaisaniemi appears to be a business hotel and is well located within walking distance (or a short tram ride away) from the central station (the airport bus Route 615 also arrives/leaves from the station). Very close to the metro and tramstop, so most sights/attractions are also easily accessible. The staff is efficient and friendly - rooms are clean... more

I stayed at this hotel for two nights while in Helsinki for business. The location is handy to the train station and staff were exceptionally helpful. But the rooms are miniscule (and very oddly decorated -- painted clouds on the ceiling, for instance) and pretty basic. Breakfast, however, was excellent. There are better hotels to stay in while in Helsinki,... more

Stayed at the Cumulus Kaisaniemi 6/3-6/11. The hotel is centrally located to downtown, Stockmanns, train station, Esplande park, & waterfront. The tram line is right in front of the hotel. The Grand Casino is right across from the hotel as well. It seems like a business hotel. The lobby is small as are the rooms. The rooms though were very,... more
