“Very Convenient Location & Good Service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

This Holiday Inn was very comfortable and extremely well located. It is next door to the railway station and the airport bus is only a few metres from the front door. The main bus station is only a few blocks away..Finland is great for modern design so it was also great that a wonderful museum of modern art was only a short walk. I found the staff very helpful and had one pleasant meal in the restaurant. I did not have breakfast in the hotel but walked around the neighbourhood and enjoyed finding interesting Finnish treats to eat for breakfast. I was there at the end of May and it was fun seeing the locals all enjoying sitting in outdoor cafes near the hotel in the late evening sun. I loved Helsinki and if I go back I will stay here again.

“Ideal Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

We only stayed one night, as we were travelling home via Helsinki from our enjoyable stay in Tallinn. The hotel is very centrally located near the Railway Station. It was ideally placed for us as the connection to both the Tallinn Ferry (tram 9) and the airport (Finnair shuttle bus) was so facile and efficient.

“Next to the airport buses”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

If you arrive by air, the bus from the airport will drop you off just outside the entrance of this hotel. It is also right next to the main railway station. The breakfast is ok, but nothing to write home about. The hotel can accomodate several hundred guests, but the breakfast room/restaurant only have 100 seats. Of course, at breakfast time, this means that there are only room for 60-70 people, since Nordic hotel guests hate to eat breakfast sitting next to strangers.

There is WIFI with variable quality. They (not the hotel itself, but rather the net provider) try to charge you for using it, but if you ask in the reception, they will give you access for free. If even the receptionist asks you to pay for the access, sign up for the holiday inn priority program (it takes you 40 seconds to fill out the form) and get complimentary WIFI.

Late checkout until 13:00 if you ask for it. Until 14:00 if you are member of their priority program .

“Nice and central”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 31, 2012

Great location for all travellers, very central and next to the main train station. The house is modern and nice designed; their service is very good. The staff at the front desk were very firnsly and always smiling. Our room was spacious, modern and with free Internet acces. The bathroom was very nice too. generally it's a very nice property however a little bit expensive as many things in Finnland.

“Great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 28, 2012

The hotel is very conveniently located, next to the train station and the point from which a number of city buses leave. Bed quality was excellent and much appreciated, since I had been traveling for more than 24 hours. The business office houses two computers whose use is free to hotel clients. The hotel restaurant offers several Finnish delicacies like reindeer steak and dessert with cloudberries. We put together our own inexpensive lunches from the delicatessen at a nearby department store.
