“A very comfortable stay!”

Reviewed 2 days ago NEW

Everything was done to a high standard and the staff were very helpful. Of particular note was the food, the breakfast buffet is very extensive and well prepared and the reindeer we had for dinner was the best I've ever had! It is situated a little way back from the waterfront, but very close to the major bus/train terminals.

“Solo traveler approved”

Reviewed 4 days ago NEW via mobile

Nice room for a solo traveler with a great breakfast that included lots of local food, and a bar. Close to the Temppeliaukio Church-- I followed published walking tours in reverse from here. Room was super quiet.

“Simple but convenient hotel”

I have stayed many times at this simple but convenient hotel, about 10 minutes walk from the Central Station. Some of the rooms are very small and the beds are rather narrow too, but they are comfortable and OK if you are just passing through and want a bed for the night. The bath room is very compact (no baths)... More

“Not really a budget hotel”

The public area of the hotel is nice, also the location and all the pink details. BUT the own positioning of the hotel is "we are a budget hotel". But for 120€ per night I expect a bit more. The rooms are really simple and not really nice. Also the breakfast area is more like a youth hostel breakfast area.... More

“My week at Hotel Helka”

The best food in Helsinki is served at Hotel Helka's restaurant, especially the grilled chicken salad. The people at the hotel desk are very friendly and helpful; they generously respond to inquiries about transportation alternatives, schedules, and prices.
