We used this hotel just as an overnight before leaving to Tallinn, so we didn't want to spend a great amount of money, but wanted a luxurious property somewhere in the city. Hilton seemed to be a well regarded establishment, so we chose this one. Upon arrival we were warmly -for a hotel in north Europe- and in no time we received our key cards; we had a business class room on the 6th floor overlooking the East Harbour. The hotel from all the pictures seemed a bit dated, and 70s style. Although this style prevails, the hotel seemed newly refurbished and fresh. The room was nice, spacious with large bay windows, a nice tv, and a small but practical bathroom. Their breakfast was ok, and the restaurant servise efficient, as everything in Finland. Compared to the Kamp Hotel, their reception staff seemed less cold, and more friendly. I can now understand why this property is so highly regarded. The pictures just don't do the place justice.

i hosted a distributor meeting here for about 30 clients. although a little pricey, we definitely were treated well. i was very impressed with the staff and the organization of the meeting. the only trouble i had was a double charge on my credit card by one of the front desk agents which took 3 months and a bank claim to resolve.

the location is great, within walking distance to many tourist attractions, shopping, and restaurants.

the view is amazing as well. especially from the treadmills in the gym.

the rooms could use a little updating.

Delightful stay in a lovely large room overlooking the water. The buffet breakfast had lots of variety, fresh fruits, great breads/rolls, and smoked salmon. The staff was extremely courteous and helpful. It was fun to go to the local farmers market and mass transit was only a 2 minute walk from the hotel. Quiet,, professionally run, relaxing hotel. Our room had free wi fi, Evian water, little treats, and access to a great sauna. What a great introduction to Helsinki!

The Hilton Helsinki Strand is very easy to find from the airport and the city. You will be able to walk over to the Hakaniemi Metro stop where you will find the trams and a market of food stalls and gift shopping.

The hotel is very business orientated, and the rooms are very clean as well as comfortable. The staff is very helpful with all questions regarding the area. The interior décor is a bit 80's, but the staff keeps the hotel in top form.

I would recommend this Hilton to anyone for business, and like us, first timers to Finland.
