It was a wonderful 3 nights stay in the lovely city of Helsinki. The hotel is located in the city center, which makes dining and shopping and getting around anywhere super convenient. Despite being right next to Helsinki Central station and the bus terminal, the room is super quiet. Sound proofing is 👍🏻. My room was clean, cosy, spacious and tastefully designed. The amenities in the room was very basic; they only provide towels, no other amenities were provided. Bedroom slippers to be purchased. Doesn’t affect our stay much though. The location tops everything else. Buffet breakfast was good too.

We stayed at Scandic Grand Central Helsinki and loved its unbeatable location — it’s right next to the central train station, which is super convenient for travelers. The room was decent in size, and we really appreciated that the bathroom had a bidet, which was a nice touch. However, the cleanliness of the room could have been better, as it didn’t feel properly cleaned upon check-in. The biggest downside was the hotel’s accessibility — there’s no shortcut or direct access for guests to reach the train station, so we had to walk all the way around every time. Moreover, the main entrance doesn’t have a ramp, which made it very inconvenient for guests with strollers or heavy luggage. We had to take a side lift to get in, which was quite troublesome. Overall, great location but disappointing accessibility design.

Unbeatable location, nice breakfast and venues, friendly services.  Our compliment to a front desk lady staff who helped us to upgrade our room since the housekeeping missed cleaning our room accidentally (we left the room in normal morning hours without DND sign).  One point about the sauna: we anticipate it would be sizable and found it was tiny and humbly equipped therefore we did not try it eventually.  Overall, this Scandic Central experience is much better than the previous Scandic version in CPH.  We highly recommend this hotel for  those to Helsinki.

We had a great few nights stay at Scandic Grand Central. The check-in process was smooth- The hotel even provided an online check-in option that would also notify us when our room is ready so that we can check in earlier. The room was a little smaller than we imagined but nevertheless well-equipped. The breakfast buffet is a MUST- There's a wide variety of food and they are all scrumptious. The staff was warm and accommodating- Big thumbs up to the cleaning staff who greeted us everyday without fail with the biggest smile on their faces. The location is also fantastic-Its very central so all the tourist attractions and transport is within walking distance.
