The original purpose for our stay was to see the new loft rooms. To our surprise, the hotel had been just reopened with an extensive art exhibition which was very interesting. Ten artists from the Demolition Art Group have painted six hotel rooms on the sixth floor, and corridors and lobby areas on the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors. This Demolition Art Group has made graffiti art for many buildings to be demolished. However, Helka hotel is not being demolished. What it takes to the new Loft rooms, there are four of them on the 6th floor. We booked the biggest Loft Junior Suite which has a sauna. The ceiling is very high with a skylight. The decor is modern with Finnish design furniture. The breakfast was pleasantly calm. The food selection was wide and of good quality.

The best things at Helka are location, interiors and good prices. Unfortunately, Helka is nowadays not open at the beginning of the week, though this is understable in current situation. Hopefully, we are soon back in normality.

My stay at the Hotel Helka was very nice. The hotel has a really nice vibe in it starting from design, artwork and overall feeling. Breakfast was good, although better gluten free option would have been nice. The service was excellent as always! Would recommend. :)

Dear kasimirhognas, thank you for your recommendation! Great to hear that our style, breakfast and overall feeling were to your liking :). We always try to invest in the development of our breakfast and if you come up with development ideas, we will be happy to hear them. As for the lack of gluten-free products, there is a separate corner for gluten-free products in the breakfast room and numerous other products are gluten-free. If the customer is worried about contamination or needs a certain food, then you should always ask our breakfast staff for advice, who will be happy to help! Our breakfast is pretty popular right now, which is why we don’t want to make radical changes to a model that has already been proven to be good, but there is always room for improvement in everything! Hopefully we will see you again on your next visit to Helsinki. Sincerely, Johannes / reception, Helka

Vastaanoton asiakaspalvelu oli oikein miellyttävää, ja asioiden hoitaminen sujui jouhevasti. Hotellin sisustus oli keskimääräistä viehättävämpi ja huone rauhallinen. Ei ärsyttävää ketjuhotellin tunnelmaa. Hienoa, että koronatilanteen vuoksi voi valita aamiaiskassivaihtoehdon. Kassin sisältö oli varsin sopiva. Valitsimme mielellämme hotellin, joka pyrkii toiminnassaan vastuullisuuteen (ympäristö, yhdenvertaisuus jne.). Majoitumme Helkassa toistekin! Great hotel, good location, nice and stylish, unique interiors, tidy room, friendly and smooth customer service. We also liked the breakfast bag that could be taken to the hotel room instead of the usual breakfast buffet (due to covid-19). Much nicer than a dull chain hotel!

Dear Mirkku-eelis, thank you very much for the awesome review. We are happy to hear that your trip to Finland went well and you enjoyed your stay in Helka. As you said we have a take-away breakfast available at the hotel. Our customers can enjoy a take-away breakfast bag in their own room, hotel lobby or after leaving the hotel. The bag consists of locally produced food made from high-quality ingredients. In the breakfast bag there is Hekla’s own organic porridge, Helka classic pesto bread, locally produced marmalade, fresh locally produced juice - among other items! We highly recommend this option to especially in case of early check-out or in case the customer feels that despite hygienic measures taken by the hotel buffet breakfast is anyway not to their liking due to coronavirus pandemic. Thank you for staying in Helka. We hope to see you again 😉 Sincerely, -Johannes / Reception, Helka

Super beautiful, comfort and tidy hotel at the heart of Helsinki. The best bed I've ever slept in a hotel! Rooms are beautiful and well equipped. Good service and breakfast, lovely shampoos etc at the rooms. I highly recommend. If you prefer silence, room towards backyard was perfect.
