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. :)
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!
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.
