My favorite Hotel in Helsinki

1 night

Solo traveller

My favorite place to stay on business trips in Helsinki! Ideal location in City Centre - and wonderfully arranged breakfast buffet with plenty of choices!

I would love to start breakfast on Saturdays also before 7am like on weekdays....

Hotel's Response

Hello and thank you so much for the review. We will be looking into the option to start the breakfast before 7 AM on the weekends! At the moment there simply are not many customers who are coming to breakfast hall early on the weekends. For people who need to leave before 6:30 or 7:00 we have also early breakfast bags available with sandwich, yougurt, juice, piece of cake/cupcake, coffee/tea, fruits amongst other items. Thank you for the great review :)

4.1/ 5

Very good value for money

1 night

Solo traveller

A cozy, artsy boutique style hotel. The rooms have a classic, simple style with Artek furniture. Nice toiletries. Good location close to Kamppi shopping centre. Nice breakfast selection. Very affordable price for this standard in Helsinki city centre.

Bathroom is a bit small with a tiny sink, but still worked fine. Bed was not super comfortable.

4.7/ 5

Comfortable accommodation for a work week in Helsinki

5 night

Solo traveller

The Helka is my go-to hotel each time I visit Helsinki due to its close proximity to my work location. It also has easy access to the center of town and the main city shopping mall.

The elevator is a bit slow from time to time but that is not a major issue.

3 night

Solo traveller

Breakfast was good and sauna is good

The room I was given the bed covers smelled bad and pillow cases too (like eggs).

Hotel's Response

Hello and thank you for your review. There seemed to be a problem with the bed covers due to human error. We are terribly sorry for the unpleasant event and have brought the issue to attention with our laundry service provider as well as housekeeping staff. Thank you for the review and have a great week.

4.7/ 5

Excellent location and nice stay

Solo traveller

New interior and renovated. Beautiful sauna.

In the breakfast many things were finished (ie egg butter) but it was otherwise ok.

4.5/ 5

Very surprised and would go back

1 night

Solo traveller

The overall feeling was great. While some aspects alone would be lower rated overall everything seemed to work really well together. The staff were helpful and friendly, the location was good, breakfast extensive, rooms good size with good pressure and warm showers. The rooms were probably a bit tired but as I said overall good for that part of the market

Location is great. Staff is very attentive, and breakfast is superb. Everything is clean and well mantained.

Hotel's Response

Hello, thank you very much for your reply. We are glad to hear that your trip went well and that you found the location of the hotel convenient. Helka is only 10 minutes walk away from the Central Railway Station and just 3 minutes away from the closest metro station and Kamppi shopping mall. Helka is surrounded by hundreds of restaurants and shops as well as some of the most famous tourist attractions in Helsinki like the famous Rock Church or The Natural History Museum of Helsinki which both are just around the corner. We hope to see you again soon. Welcome back to the pink hotel in the heart of Helsinki any time :).

4.4/ 5

A wonderful stay & an amazing breakfast!

3 night

Solo traveller

AMAZING breakfast that's already included in the price! The hotel and the room were also designed in a quirky and beautiful way, which made the stay special. I asked for a quiet room, which was easily pre-arranged. Luggage could be stored for free in a secure area free of charge. Staff was very kind and considerate. The hotel itself is located walking distance from the central station (10-15 minutes) and shorter from some of the city's main attractions. I'd definitely stay here again on a return trip to Helsinki!

The curtains aren't exactly blackout, but other than that, everything was great!

Nice and style room with everything what needed and some small details that make staying comfortable. Of course good location.

Questions from travelers

Hi, our Guest Saunas are open daily from 7am to noon and from 5pm to 10pm. Separate saunas for Ladies and Gentlemen on the 6th floor. Greetings from Helka, Jukka

How far are you from Suomenlinna, Helsinki Cathedral, Explanadi, Walk along seaside beach, E bikes, Is a laundry service near by?

Hello, We are located in Kamppi, very close to downtown. All attractions are easily reachable from Helka by walking or by public transport. Welcome!

Hello! Would it be possible to add 2 extra beds (for kids 6yo and 9 yo) in any of the rooms?

Hi there! We do have some rooms with the possibility for 2 extra beds. There is only a couple of them so please check with the reception as you make a reservation!

Hi , is it possible to do early check in? Many thanks!

Hi, our official check-in time is 15:00. We cannot promise an early check-in, but in case we have clean rooms available when you arrive we are more than happy to do an early check-in. If no rooms are available you can leave your luggages :). Helka

Hi, is it possible to check in after 24:00?

Hello, Our reseption is open 24/7, so yes it's possible Br Anastasia

Can u check in earlier like 12 pm ?

Hello! Thank you for your question. Our check-in starts at 3pm but subject to availability earlier check-in is possible. Please enquire at the reception when checking in. Best regards, Mika/reception

Hi, how to get to the hotel from Helsinki airport and back? Do you have shuttles?

Hello. You can either take taxi (around 35 minutes) many companies have fixed prices. Coming to the downtown is often a little bit cheaper than vice versa. Or you can take the train (35minute ride + 13 minute walk) to the Central Railway Station.

Hi, can we reserve the private Sauna?

Hello! We don't have a private sauna for reserving. If you want a private sauna you need to reserve one of our Junior Suite rooms which all come with private sauna. Other than that all of our saunas are public use within opening hours.

Are cats allowed in the Hotel?

Hi, We love furry friends also <3 We have specific rooms designated to guests with pets and the additional fee is 15€ per night. Welcome all to Helka! Kind Regards Thomas, Hotel Helka

Hello, we wish to stay with our cat. How can we make a reservation and in which rooms are available for her? Thank you very much.

Hello! Pet rooms are available in every room type except for Smart Single and Loft type rooms. Just add a mention of your pet to your reservation. We will charged extra 15€ for the pet. Best Regards, Reception
