"The location is great, it is the most lively location in Helsinki, just a few hundred meters away from the lv store. We can see the church in the attic sky room, and there are seagulls flying from the window from time to time. Opposite the hotel is a small park. It was also seen that there was a wedding there, and it was a small church with a green top. The last picture is the street where the hotel is located, and the green top is the church that is next to it. On the top of the bed and on the top of the shower room are clear glass, you can see the blue sky is super like. When you are lying in bed or going to the bathroom, you can see the church outside the window. The facilities are very smart. The skylights on the top of the bed have electric curtains. Don't worry that the transparent top is too bright. I really like this small Nordic loft. It’s really a small but complete sparrow. The hotel front desk lady is very enthusiastic. The whole hotel feels very good, the breakfast waiter is very warm, but we only stayed for one night on Friday, because it was full on Saturday night, if I stayed here next time."
"The location is good, the breakfast is particularly rich, the smoked salmon is both fresh and the croissants and quiche are very delicious. Hotel Wi-Fi is also good and the front desk service is welcoming."
"The hotel is very good and the environment is very good, but the hotel is a bit old. The sea view room has a very beautiful view, but I forgot to book breakfast. Breakfast is 30 euros per person, which is a bit expensive!"

"It was easily accessible from tram line 3, and it was a perfect location for sightseeing in the city as it was about a block away from the nearest stop.
There are several restaurants and cafes nearby, so you don't have to worry about eating near the hotel.
A supermarket is also nearby.
I arrived at around 8:00 to leave my luggage for the time being because I had an early morning flight, but they prepared my room right away.
The receptionists are very kind.
The rooms are very clean.
I stayed on December 14th, but there was already a lot of snow outside and the temperature was -7°C even during the day.
The room was warm and comfortable with a panel heater. I think it's hot at night.
I was able to rest quietly at night because it does not face the main street or the tram road.
Breakfast is simple and sufficient.
There were breads, yogurts, cinnamon rolls, flakes, salads, bacon, scrambled eggs, fruit and more.
I would like to use it again next time."
"The location of the hotel is very good, from the terminal and the train station are more convenient. Because we took the night train from Rovaniemi to Helsinki, we arrived at the hotel around 10 o'clock in the morning and wanted to leave our luggage and go out, but we didn't expect the hotel to directly check in for us."
"Although the hotel is a bit old, the location is good. The front desk staff was very friendly and helped us take photos. The breakfast buffet is rich in variety and delicious, especially the venison meatballs with cranberry sauce. Will choose to stay here if given the chance."
"The Clarion Hotel Helsinki is a modern and stylish hotel located in Helsinki, Finland. It is known for its contemporary design, comfortable accommodations, and convenient location.
The hotel offers a range of amenities and services to enhance guests' stay, including spacious rooms or suites, a fitness center, a restaurant, a bar, and meeting facilities. The rooms are typically well-appointed and equipped with modern conveniences such as flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and comfortable beds."
"Our second check-in in the same week as we came back from Rovaniemi. Spacious in the main bedroom area (open 2 large 30inch luggage and still have ample of space to walk) but toilet is very small. All it takes is a 10min shower to flood your entire toilet due to the poor drainage design. You hardly can bathe with ease in the shower area due to the size and structure of pillars. Wouldn’t recommend to pay extra for this room as the proportion of the room is not design well. Our previous stay in the slightly cheaper room was better than this."
"Executive room: The semi-deluxe room is larger and faces the street (it is really not recommended to stay on weekends. There is the hottest bar in the city downstairs. It is really exciting on weekends. It is like living next to a KTV, listening to loud music and singing to sleep)
Of course, jet lag may make you sleepy, but it does not affect your sleep, but the executive rooms along the street are really not recommended on weekends! The deluxe room is a patio interior view room. I personally think it is quieter and more suitable for sleeping!
Needless to say, the breakfast was very good! There are many varieties in Northern Europe, and there are many homemade delicacies in the hotel! Highly recommend having hotel breakfast!
The executive lounge is on the second floor, and the upper lounge opens on the right. From 2:00 to 6:00 every afternoon, there are some snacks, afternoon tea, fruit cookies, chocolates, etc. You can order a variety of wine, coffee, and drinks. Last order at 5:30pm. They are all free, the only ones that charge are those listed on the list. Others are free to use in the executive lounge. Executive rooms are available at any time.
Overall it's very good, from service to hardware and software! Unless you particularly like drinking and having afternoon tea, you can choose an executive room. If you want to have a good rest, choose a deluxe room~"
"This place hands down is an absolutely unique experience on its own, to voluntarily stay in a prison haha. The staff was extremely personable, knowledgeable and helpful with any requests we had. We were staying there to celebrate New Year's Eve and they recommend it lots of great places to go. The hotel/ prison itself was amazing just to be in. The restaurant downstairs had exceptional food for dinner and breakfast. Will definitely stay longer on our next vacation. The hotel is within walking distance to the center of the city as well as the Capitol building. The location is perfect if you want to celebrate New Year's Eve festivities which are held in the plaza outside of the Capitol building. Unforgettable time!"

GGuest UserI wish I could give 6 stars. 5 for the hotel which was the nicest in all of Helsinki. Central location in a beautiful building retrofitted for the hotel. Of course squeaky clean and modern tech galore. I see thoughtful small touches like fade-in/out lights, quality bedding, sound proofed windows etc at every corner. The extra star for working with me on an error I made during booking process without any fuss. Staff at front desk was very welcoming and professional as well. I really don’t have anything to even nit pick… I guess the standard room was not large by any standards but had high ceilings so it doesn’t feel cramped. And that’s it, can’t recommend more and believe the near 5 star rating by everyone.

HheidiOverall, my recent stay with Bob W was disappointing.
I booked the 4-person penthouse room primarily for the use of the sauna on my last day of the trip.
Firstly, pin code provided was only valid for door access to the stairs, not door to the elevator side at night. This became a significant inconvenience, especially for a female traveler like myself who arrived at night after a tiring flight. Having to carry a 20kg luggage and a 10kg carry-on up five flights of stairs was both physically demanding and frustrating. Clear arrangements on how to access the elevator at night should have been considered for guest.
Secondly, check-in process was not clearly communicated, causing panic upon arrival. Unfortunately, I had to seek help from customer service on a third-party booking site and reach out via email to obtain a check-in link, which added unnecessary stress and confusion.
Furthermore, instruction for turning on the sauna were unclear, and I was unable to enjoy it until the next morning at 8am, just few hours before my checkout time. I had specifically chosen the penthouse room with the sauna for a relaxing and enjoyable experience. due to the lack of clear instructions, and had to seek assistance to figure out how to operate it properly, which ate into the limited time I had available to enjoy the amenity.
In conclusion, my stay with Bob W fell short of my expectations. The limited time to enjoy the amenities, issues during the check-in process and accessing the elevator, made for a less than satisfactory experience. I hope that Bob W seriously takes feedback into consideration and makes the necessary improvements to ensure a more enjoyable stay for travelers in the future. Thank you

KKHAMINI CHANDRANHere’s an example review for Valo Hotel:
---
I recently stayed at Valo Hotel and was thoroughly impressed with the experience. The hotel strikes a perfect balance between modern design and cozy comfort. The rooms were impeccably clean, well-designed, and equipped with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. I particularly loved the smart layout, which maximized the space without compromising comfort.
The staff were friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist with any queries or special requests. The location was also a big plus—conveniently situated close to key attractions, public transport, and great dining options.
One standout feature was the wellness area. The sauna and fitness facilities were top-notch, offering the perfect way to unwind after a long day. The breakfast buffet was equally impressive, with a wide variety of fresh and delicious options catering to different tastes and dietary preferences.
Overall, Valo Hotel provided an excellent stay that exceeded my expectations. Whether you're traveling for business or leisure, I highly recommend it for its quality service, comfortable ambiance, and great amenities. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!
OOrdannMy wife, our infant, and I stayed here for a night while in Helsinki. As a backpackers' hotel, it's popular among budget travelers, so we didn't expect anything special. The staff were friendly and accommodating. However, i felt like our room was quite small and a bit dusty, which made our infant sneeze. The kitchen amenities and common toilet were well-cleaned and maintained, although they can get busy at times. Overall, it's a good option for a short stay and is very budget-friendly.
GGuest UserWe had a good stay at Hotel Arthur. The location was pretty convenient for us - it was a 5 minute walk from Helsinki's Central Station for platforms going to/from the airport, tram service was nearby and it was within a 15-20 minute walk of everything we wanted to see in Helsinki. We booked this hotel because it was inexpensive for our stay and it was pretty pleasant.The breakfast was included with our stay and was welcome as well.
We booked a twin room with two twin beds. The beds were comfy and we found extra pillows in the closet. We had a really good sleep each night at the hotel because it was very quiet. The room had a couple of chairs including a pretty big cushioned one, a desk and a TV that was mounted high. The room could be a little better with the cleaning of the tv remote and kettle but the beds and bathroom were fine. The hotel is over 100 years old and we felt the hotel showed its age the most in the room because there are some renovations that have been done over the years and it is pretty evident . Our room only had plug-ins at the desk and there was none near the night stand by the beds. The closets were in need of some maintenance because the door tracks were a bit stiff, the floor was peeling and the drywall in the back was loose. The shower used to have sliding doors as evident by the track that wasn't removed but the shower had a curtain that was too short and the floor squeegee was there for a reason because the water went everywhere when I showered. Shower pressure was fine and it was easy to get plenty of hot water. You may want to consider bringing your own bath products because the shower gel was meant for hand soap, body wash and shampoo.
The hotel has saunas that you can book upon request. If you book your hotel reservation directly through the hotel you can get a discounted rate of 8 euros per person for the sauna but if you book through another website it is 10 euros per person. There is a nicer sauna that is shown in the pictures of the hotel but it fills up pretty quickly. We got the other sauna and it was ok but was in need of some cleaning because previous guests left their wet towels all over the place instead of in the towel bin located under a bench. We felt it was silly to charge a different rate if you booked through another platform because we wouldn't have heard of this hotel if we didn't use the platform we used!
The breakfast was pretty standard and I had a nice English breakfast each day from the buffet. The mushrooms, sausage and hash browns were my favourite but I grew to enjoy the scrambled eggs during my stay because they add something to it that I'm not used to. They also had yoghurt, cereals, cold cut meats, fruit and cheese amongst other standard breakfast staples. They had a juice dispenser, a small selection of tea and black coffee. They also had items that you could pay for at the bar like a cappuccino or chocolate chip muffin.
The reception area was pretty good. They had luggage storage and quite a few chairs to sit in. My wife liked their small souvenir shop and got some cute post cards. The staff are very helpful and can provide recommendations for the city. The reception also provide tea and sugar for your room and you can pick up your rations daily. They do not provide regular cleaning for the rooms but you can arrange cleaning or new towels through reception.
There are plenty of sights to see nearby as well as cafes, restaurants and shopping malls. The tram is a short walk away and that was very convenient for us as we did a day trip to Tallinn using the ferries to go across the sea.
We booked this hotel because it was affordable in a pretty expensive city and we would still recommend it if the pieces are fair. It was a good place to sleep and unwind after each day we spent exploring the area.

SSergey 1956I liked everything! Fast check-in, despite the late hour. The room is perfectly quiet, very comfortable beds. Excellent breakfast with a great choice.
The shuttle service from/to the airport is very accurate and convenient.
GGuest UserLocation is perfect. Neraby to city center. Accessible to tram no 4. Bed not so comfortable. You get what you paid, cannot complaint on that. Cleanliness is questionable. Room and floor very dusty. I wish they provide slipper. Everything is good. I didn't use other amenities such as shared kitchen and sauna. I bet it is good from what i see. Good that they provide free sauna in the morning. They also don't provide any toiletries. So prepare earlier. Thanks

GGuest UserNice location and friendly staff, and THAT’S ALL THE PROS.
GUEST WI-FI IS DOWN throughout my stay and no alternative network is available, then I missed one online meeting. BEDSIDE SOCKET IS BROKEN, making it impossible to use the phone or tablet while charging, and the ADVERTISING IS QUITE MISLEADING —I booked a single room at Trip.com, I thought it would be a room with private toilet, since nothing was mentioned in the title while other types of rooms are highlighted for the “shared bathroom”. Well, and the SOUNDPROOF can just be ignored.
Maybe ‘Hostel’ is better for the name.
GGuest UserThe distance is very close. There is no self-service check-in. The environment is not bad. There are shared bathrooms, laundry rooms, and kitchens. You need to bring your own ingredients. The price is high and it is only about 1.5 kilometers away from Vantaa Airport. It is very cost-effective for those who want to travel for a short time or transfer. It's like living in a semi-forest! The heater is not very warm and the temperature is a bit low. I don’t know if the cold spot will be higher!
