Hotels Near Helsinki University Library in Helsinki

very convenient location, tram station is directly opposite the hotel and is a short walk from central station

Good location is the biggest advantage, especially for tourists who need to pull suitcases in the ice and snow. The room was small and the sofa bed was basically left with an aisle to walk. But the bed was quite comfortable. The bathroom shower is very comfortable, that is, the water is easy to sprinkle out, in fact, it can be solved by simply adding a shower curtain.

We 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.

Nice 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.

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.

Very clean hotel, really nice lobby and welcome by staff with good location. There are meeting rooms, sauna, gym etc and the breakfast was nice. My room was on the west wing instead of main building which was quite a walk from loft area especially with large luggages. Only coffee/tea/chocolate and hot kettle, as well as bath soap. There are hangers and safety deposit box. No other amenities (toothbrush toothpaste comb etc) provided. Bed is big and comfortable. Aircon does not turn off even when putting the thermostate to zero speed…too cold! Cleaning tool left in bathroom by housekeeping not sure why, was moved from one corner of bathroom to another even after i mentioned to reception…strange!

Pros - Perfect location, just a stone’s throwaway to the subway - Super new, comfy and spacious room for two - Bathroom was all impeccable with a super strong shower head (major plus points!!) - Strong air-conditioning / heater - Pretty good breakfast spread Cons - Cast to tv feature didn’t work :( - Recep’s service can be better - No kettle in room (available for rent at €5 / day zzz) *pro-tip: get free hot water from the coffee vending machine near the recep*

The building is pretty new and clean. However it is relatively small consider Helsinki is not a crowded city. It is conveniently located with a small supermarket around the corner. Otherwise will have to walk back to Helsinki station area where there are a few larger supermarkets available. Heating is not very strong for the time we visited (late Oct). I can't imagine how heating would be enough during winter. We were quite happy with our stay but one small thing that can be improved - a simple instruction on how to separate our rubbish. We are happy to comply with the Finnish way of recycling but at the same time we were a bit confused on which bin is for which item.

Great hotel. Super clean and efficient. You have everything you need-microwave, fridge, kettle. Oh well, if you are Gen X and above,you will enjoy this place. Self check in n out. Minimal style but I have to say it again..very very clean n efficient. You can check in n out through machine so no wait. You can buy your food n eat there anytime you want. Some nice restaurants also locate nearby. But we love the cost vibe of the hotel. Staffs are very friendly as well. They actually work hard to keep the hotel clean n meet all customer needs. The hotel is very close to Hakaniemi market.lots of nice food there. Also,S market n K market if you want to buy some ready to eat meal at the hotel. So,I highly recommend Citybox Helsinki for everyone !

The hostel is easy to find after you get the bus 600 from outside the airport, which costs 4.10 euros. 30mins journey from airport to hotel via bus. The hostel itself is clean and has friendly female staff who were super nice and provided snacks etc during the football matches each day. You get a free to use locker in the room using the same keycard for entry etc. There is also a 24hour supermarket downstairs, and a nice kebab shop across the street. Overall, decent place to stay if you want to explore Helsinki. The Asian looking male member of staff at reception was disgusting, didn’t wash his hands after going toilet which I saw! Laughed when I told him to wash his hands, reported him to trip and to the hostel too. Really off putting, but other than that, no issues. Breakfast was simple but filling, and the hostel provides free water at reception.
