Walking distance to the train station and tourist sites, professional staff and clean room, complete breakfast, and the hotel restaurant was good for dinner.

Great hotel with all amenities. Wonderful breakfast buffet and of course the Sauna. Within walking distance to the Railway & bus terminal, the Kampi shopping center, Sokos & Stockmann and just up the street the Temple Church. On sight parking available very resonable rates.

I've been staying at Hotel Helka for a number of years now - I've never been disappointed. It is comfortable and convenient and the price is right.

Hotel Helka is one of my favorite hotels in Helsinki. For about seven years, I have been staying there when I come to Helsinki on business and have never been disappointed.

This is a good quality hotel with friendly staff. Food was extremely high standard. If you're staying central Helsinki, I would highly recommend this hotel

The room was very bright, with cool designer lamps. The WiFi was faster than expected. Very nice breakfast buffé. My bed was a bit on the soft side though.

Nice and comfortable hotel in the center of town. Nothing less, nothing more.

It was my first stay at Hotel Helka and it was pretty much as I expected based on reviews and feedback from friends. I only have two minow complaints: - the shower holder did not match the shower head, so in practise it was a hand-held shower, not very convenient when trying to wash your hair - the hotel was due to close for Christmas at 12 noon on […] 23 Dec, in practise it started to close down already earlier with renovation works etc. This also meant a reduced breakfast on the 23rd, with mainly high carb options available. But other than these two minor things everything was good and I've recommended Helka to other people. Lisez la suite

Helka is a very good hotel, it's not luxury but it has all you can wish for in a hotel for a great price. Highly recommended.

Stayed here a few times. Single rooms are small but adequate. Helpful staff...The usual sauna faciliies for Suomi. Handy for bus station and major shopping / cinemas....have normally nice Finnish ale on tap too. Helpful staff and breakfast is plentiful sometimes cramped. Would recommend this hotel no worries....little bit remote on those -30c mornings […] but overall nice wee hotel and recommended too if you want bring the Wife or Partner....you won't get the cold shoulder treatment for booking this one!...although it's not the Sheraton ok! :-) Lisez la suite

My single room was small but I expected that. Overall a good experience. I left my hat in the lobby at check in and the front desk staff tracked me down to return it. I'd definitely stay here again.

Although the hotel doesn't look anything special from the outside, it's very nice inside and the rooms are an adequate size. It was nice that they were decorated in an individual style too rather than the blandness that corporate hotels tends to be. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast buffet had a fairly good selection. Location […] is great for the trams, train and bus station with it being pretty much in the centre of town. Overall this was great value for money for what we wanted for the 4 nights we were in Helsinki on business. Lisez la suite

Helka is close to everything at a reasonable price. Tram line 3B/3T is one block away and gets you everywhere. The morning breakfast was extensive and outstanding. The rooms are a little small, very European style, but they are clean and the showers are excellent. I would stay again. Avoid the Helsinki Card (way overpriced). Buy a day pass for the number […] of days you need and the transit system (metro, tram, bus) will move you through the city with ease. Loved Helsinki. Lisez la suite

This hotel is centrally located in Helsinki. The most important sights are eaily reachable on foot such as the central railway station, Stockmanns department store and the harbour area. The Kampii shopping centre is just opposite. Tram 3T has a stop 2 minutes walk from the hotel. The hotel is very clean and appears to have been recently modernised. […] It has free wifi and free use of the sauna. For brekfast ther is a warm/cold buffet is is highly recomended. Lisez la suite

Very convenient for city centre and the main sights. We used it as a base for the Helsinki Marathon weekend - very easy to get to trams and buses, and the 15A bus to the Tallink terminal (for Tallinn) stopped just down the street. Decent buffet breakfast. Nicely refurbished. Helpful staff. Very good value.

Helka is clean and well organized. Rooms are not large, but are calm and furnished with Aalto chairs and tables. Good breakfast conditions, excellent location. Pleasant efficient staff.

The hotel is located within easy walking distance of downtown Helsinki in a quieter area. It was awesome that we could just walk back for a quick break from sightseeing in the middle of the day if we wanted to. But the pros end there. The hotel itself was more like something that would receive a 1.5 star rating here in the US - dirty room/bathroom, […] cheap quality breakfast (artificial watery scrambled eggs and fruit from a can), uncomfortable beds, etc. The staff were very sweet, although housekeeping never bothered to replace the toiletries. Worst of all, our "double" bed was 2 separate lumpy twin beds that moved apart at the slightest touch, making any, ahem, intimacy impossible. Lisez la suite

Comfortable beds Close to trams Close to bus stop for No 2 bus to airport Close to large shopping centre Central location Excellent breakfast Bathroom rather small and shower leaked

Helpful staff, clean room, good location, and quite funky with it! Would recommend.

my one-bed-room was tiny, bed was ok but not very comfy. could have been a little cleaner (found hair that didn't belong to me and there were stains on the mattress). still a convenient place to stay, good location, not too expensive, awesome breakfast buffet

The hotel is located very centrally, only a five minute walk from the railway station. The hotel is furnished with Artek and other Finnish design furniture and art. This was the reason I picked the hotel as I think it seems silly to stay in a chain hotel where the decor is the same whichever Nordic country you visit. The room was very spacious, the […] bed was great as was the bathroom. I had read in some reviews crticisms of the breakfast but I found it filling and with a good choice which changed slightly from day to day. I would however have two crtiticisms of the hotel, it was very hot in Helsinki when we stayed and our air conditioning even on full did not make our room cool, we could have kept the window open in the nights but unfortunately my second complaint was our window opened up onto a courtyard and the flat opposite our room had loud parties every night which meant we couldn't keep the window open. Finally, staff were very helpful and polite... Lisez la suite

We stayed a few days in Tallinn which was wonderful and then took a fast boat to Helsinki for the pther 3 days. The city is very nice and extremely busy with tourists, mostly Russians and Japanese. The location of Helka is Ok about 10 minutes walk to the main shopping areas. The hotel is quite scruffly in places and could do with a bit of loving care. […] As for the rooms these are very basic and rooms can be very smoky. Another thing, this is a nation of big beer drinkers and smokers, fag ends everywhere! Breakfast is alos basic but very busy. Would we stay here again probably not as there are more central hotels which only costs marginally more. Lisez la suite

Helka Hotel is a great value close to the downtown area of Helsinki. Breakfast is included and makes the price of the room an extremely good value. The staff was very helpful, spoke a number of languages, and spoke excellent English. The walk from the central train station was enjoyable and the neighborhood seemed extremely safe.

Excellent value, staff willing to go the extra mile to assist you, even offered to provide a to-go breakfast because we had to leave before the hotel complimentary one was open.

It's not every city in which a 3-star is a delightful, immaculate and nourishing stay, but Helka is that; Helsinki is that. Like a SoBe boutique hotel in Finland. At mid-summer, I noticed young Finnish couples staying there, and older (well-heeled) Finnish couples/groups eating in the excellent hotel restaurant, Helka's kitchen. Superb and gracious […] staff, nice design, a/c (yes, you need it in summer); fabulous breakfast buffet; complimentary sauna use, wifi, tv. As advertised, but nicely done. Quick walk to rail station, or 3T tram stops a block behind the hotel, one stop after Kamppi. Luxury for the budget-conscious. Lisez la suite

My first impression was that its furnitures weren't as good as people and my guide book complimented. However, its service was excellent. Stuffs gave me detailed info about the town and accepted my sudden change to shorten the stay there. Plus, room cleaner didn't take my tips, which is probably a policy of this hotel.

Having designer furniture does not cover up the fact that our bathroom was dusty, the cushions on the couch were stained, and the paint on the walls & door have seen better days. Maintenance always trumps fashion. The front desk staff was beyond hospitable. We recommend going out for breakfast.

Helka is a great value. The location is a convenient walk to restaurants, shops, train station, etc. Rooms were very comfortable and clean.

Your staff were vere helpful and accomodating for 2 senior citizens from the USA: we had many questions that they were able to help us with. Also, the food at breakfast was excellent with a very good variety. If we were to come back, we would choose to stay again as your rates were pretty competitive.

I was pleasantly surprised at this hotel. I got more than what I expected for the low price I paid. The staff are very professional as well. I would recommend and I would stay there again. It has a nice location close to the Kampi shopping centre and public transport is nearby. Keep up the good work Helka.

I arrived later in the evening after most of the day travelling and was welcomed by the receptionist. He was very polite and my room was clean and ready for me. The rooms are small but well appointed and comfortable with a Finnish design flair. I only just made it to the buffet breakfast with minutes to spare and caught a glowering and very annoyed […] look from the waitress. There was no good morning and she made a point of hurrying to clear away anything I might have wanted to eat for breakfast. This was the only low point in an otherwise satisfactory and comfortable stay. Sauna is great. Lisez la suite

convenient location walking distance from buses/trains, clean comfortable, free internet, excellent breakfast, helpful and friendly staff recommended

This is a nice hotel, very clean, service is good too. It offers wireless. The TV in the room is a computer, and you can use it to browse the internet. The onsite restuarant offers free breakfast and the lunch buffet is 8.50 euro (salads, good choices of bread, a soup and 4 hot dishes). The hotel also offers sauna for their guests between 7am to 7pm. […] The hotel is located about 10 min walk to the main train station, 15-20 min walk to the market square, 10 min walk to the Parliment building, and 7 min walk to the Rock Church. I enjoyed the stay here very much. Lisez la suite

Most clever and modern interior and room design. Altough there are a lot of stairs to climb , Helka is a gem. It is quiet, breakfast and food exellent. Easy walking distance everywhere. Streetcars and subway near by. Most important is the balconies where smoking is allowed.

Very nice hotel. Affordable, clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet was awesome. Never used the sauna but it looked pretty nice. Highly recommend. Lots of bang for your buck. Short walk to the train station.

Hotel is less than 5 minutes walking distance from the Metro, has a food store close by. In-room internet worked well. Room comfortable and clean. Pleasant and helpful staff.

this hip hotel not far from the central bus and train station in helsinki is full of charm and not to be missed. a fine restaurant and fun bar as well. close too to a cemetery and park on a waterfront peninsula and walkable to the harbor for stockholm and tallinn ferries as well. highly recommend even if tasteful rooms a tad small. nice shopping center […] nearby for the marimekko fans too. served by bus and tram lines so convenient locale. definitely will stay here next visit to helsinki, which has a lot going for it.
