Very comfortable convenient hotel with friendly helpful staff. Each room has a kettle. In some rooms on the top floor (6th) the ventilation is noisy. Ask for a room with a digital air conditioning control.

This is a wonderful hotel. My daughter and I stayed for a few days and loved the location, the style of the hotel and the delicious breakfast. The staff was kind and helpful and the rooms are comfortable and very clean. We also loved the guest sauna. It's a quick walk to lots of shops, transportation and restaurants, and not far from central station. We will stay here again.

I needed a good enough hotel in central Helsinki and Helka was Heaven. Good information upon arrival, for example that there is a sauna on the sixth floor. Clean and updated rooms (just a little too warm quilt, woke up sweaty after an hour), nice service at the bar and a good breakfast buffet. Took an evening walk in Helsinki in the chilly April wind and after that it was nice to have the heat from the sauna, an unusual electric one.

Very short 1 night stay at the end of our extended Helsinki trip. Over the years having stayed in multiple hotels, this is hands down the best we have stayed in. Our room was massive with a extremely beautiful sauna. Very clean well decorated and even when leaving early for the airport they put together a breakfast bag and tea for our trip to the airport. Recommend this hotel this hotel to anybody wanting something a little more spacious with great service from the friendly staff.

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
2-night trip

10/10

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.

The smell in the bathroom was unpleasant and I wish there was a fridge in the room. But other than that , it was perfect. Thank you so much.
3-night trip

10/10

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.

Yhden yön yöpyminen reissun keskellä kumppanin kanssa. Saimme normaalilla huonevarauksella esteettömän huoneen, mikä oli iso ja aika kolkko, mutta siisti. Paljon tuotteita perushuoneessa, kylpytakit, tohvelit ja runsaasti hyvälaatuisia pesuaineita. Henkilökunta ystävällistä. Aamupala perustasoinen, ei ihmeellisyyksiä ja mielenkiintoisemmat vaihtoehdot puuttuivat. Hienolle vohveliraudalle olisi toivonut lisukkeeksi esim. kermavaahdon. Mutta kaikkiaan oikein ok tasoinen majoittuminen, nukuttiin hyvin ja huone oli hiljainen, vaikka sijainti oli ydinkeskustassa.

Hyggeligt hotel med en god seng at sove i og en rigtig god morgenmadsbuffet. Der var elkedel, te og kaffe på værelset og desuden bar og lounge i stueetagen. Vedligeholdelsen af interiøret kunne være bedre: Bruseslangen dryppede, og ophængene til gardinerne var let i stykker. Det ændrer ikke ved mit overordnede indtryk af, at det er et godt hotel med serviceminded personale. Jeg fik lov til at checke ind tidligt. Desuden tilbyder hotellet gratis bagageopbevaring

Das Hotel ist an guter, zentraler Lage. Positiv ist sicher die Zimmergrösse und die Grösse des Badezimmers. Die Sauberkeit stimmt absolut, das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Negativ ist aber die Zimmereinrichtung. Ein Stuhl als Nachrkästchen, keine wirkliche Ablagemöglichkeit. Das Bett ist zu schmal. Das Frühstück mit minimaler Auswahl. Kein wirkliches Angebot. Sehr langsames Internet mit schlechtem Empfang. Insgesamt passt es nicht zu einem 4-Stern Hotel und ich werde das nächste Mal sicher eine Alternative wählen.
