Hotel Helka has everything you could want for a comfortable stay in Helsinki. The breakfast buffet is excellent, and there is a fridge and microwave available to guests. Getting into town is walkable via the old railway line which runs along the middle of the street, or there are frequent trams which stop nearby. The bar is a quiet but friendly space to hang out in the evening after a busy day. The best thing though is the sauna 🤗 free to use mornings and evenings. Highly recommended.

Everything as required!

The Hotel Helka was very central, clean and had a simple but good breakfast. Perfect for me! Thenonly thing that people need to be aware of is that the shower has the capability to flood the bathroom. Make sure that the was to the sink in the middle of the room is there.

Old and pictures are non-representative

Hotel staff were very accomodating but the I found the pictures well crafted to a level that meke you feel like they were deceiving as the reality was different. A bit old, uncomfortable bed, shower area was too small. Missing fridge, no slippers (so forget going to the sauna if you haven't packed one.) Talking about Sauna, it was clean and nice

Clean room and excellent breakfast

Checking in and out was fast & easy. The staff are friendly. Our favorite was the breakfast buffet. It has a variety of options and even a chance to make your own waffle. They have fresh fruits and frozen berries on the porridge table which provides healthier option. The only thing that we weren't that happy about was that the room was different than what we saw in the picture. As we travel with a toddler, space is so important factor and we pay attention to details like how big the room is and how it's furnished. We got some explanation that all rooms aren't identical to the picture which isn't so convincing but any ways it was only one night so it was okay.

フロントスタッフの方々はとても気持ちの良い対応でした。 短い滞在だったので全体的に過不足はなかったですが、朝食は口コミの評判から想定していたよりも種類は多くなかったです。 また、荷物を預ける場所がただの個室のような感じで、鍵のかかるスーツケース以外にも置いていきたい荷物があったため、個別に鍵をかけたりできるロッカー等がなかったのは少々不安でした。 幸い荷物の取り違えなどはなく無事でしたが、荷物ルームのセキュリティだけは向上を願いたいと思いました。

ホテルの内装は素晴らしく綺麗で、部屋も綺麗で、すごく居心地がいいです。キャストの皆さんも笑顔で優しく対応してくれました。 今年から？アーリーチェックインが可能となって、早朝に着く日本からの観光には嬉しい対応です。アーリーチェックインは朝食もOK！(朝食営業時間内に限る) ビュッフェ形式の朝食も、色々あって美味しくて最高です。 立地もまず便利です。カンピの地下鉄、バスターミナルや様々な線のトラム駅がほぼ徒歩圏にあります。 今回で3回目でしたが、次もここにしたいと思います。 強いて言えば、ですがお風呂はシャワーのみです。
