Hotel Helka has everything you could want for a comfortable stay in Helsinki. The breakfast buffet is excellent, and there is a fridge and microwave available to guests. Getting into town is walkable via the old railway line which runs along the middle of the street, or there are frequent trams which stop nearby. The bar is a quiet but friendly space to hang out in the evening after a busy day. The best thing though is the sauna 🤗 free to use mornings and evenings. Highly recommended.

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

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.

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.

ホテルの内装は素晴らしく綺麗で、部屋も綺麗で、すごく居心地がいいです。キャストの皆さんも笑顔で優しく対応してくれました。 今年から？アーリーチェックインが可能となって、早朝に着く日本からの観光には嬉しい対応です。アーリーチェックインは朝食もOK！(朝食営業時間内に限る) ビュッフェ形式の朝食も、色々あって美味しくて最高です。 立地もまず便利です。カンピの地下鉄、バスターミナルや様々な線のトラム駅がほぼ徒歩圏にあります。 今回で3回目でしたが、次もここにしたいと思います。 強いて言えば、ですがお風呂はシャワーのみです。

広くて清潔で快適な部屋でした。 冷蔵庫は、部屋には無く、共用の冷蔵庫がロビーにありました。 朝食は、種類が豊富で美味しかったです。 中央駅から徒歩10分程で、主な観光地へのアクセスにも、バスやトラムなどの利用が便利でした。 サウナは、男女別にあり、5人も入ると一杯でした。 ヘルシンキで宿泊の機会があれば、またこのホテルを選びたいと思います。

静かな立地、おいしい朝食と快適なベットとサウナ。どれもとても満足でした。 がひとつだけ残念な事が。 部屋で履くようにスリッパを持参してのですが、3日目の掃除のあとになくなっていてフロントに連絡したらハウスキーパーが帰ってしまったので明日聞いてみるからとの事。だがその後何の連絡もなかった。使用後は捨てて帰ろうと思っていたのでまあいいかとあきらめました。

すべてが期待以上でした！ まずロビーもお部屋もとにかく可愛く、清潔。 広さはしょうがないと思っていましたが想定より全然広くスーツケースを広でても余裕がありました。 サウナもコンパクトですが十分で、毎日入りました。 朝食は会場が可愛いのはもちろん、種類も豊富ですし美味しく、1日だけ出発が早くて食べられなかったのが残念なくらいでした。 スタッフの方も皆さん優しく親切でした。 またヘルシンキに行く際は必ずこちらに泊まりたいです。

コンパクトな可愛い部屋でした。 家具も可愛いし絵も飾ってあり、ヘルシンキの雰囲気を感じられたような気がします。 電子ケトルや紅茶も置いてあり、助かりました。 フロントのスタッフはにこやかで安心できました。チェックアウト後も荷物を預かって頂けて良かったです。（荷物置きの小部屋みたいな所に自分で持って行きます） 朝ごはんのビュッフェ美味しかったし満足です。 一つ残念な点は、シャワールームの扉を閉めても、トイレの方に水が流れてしまいバスマットが濡れてしまったことです。 総じて満足です！お世話になりました。
