“Very good hotel at great rate !!!”

The hotel staff was extremely friendly, pofessional, and helpful. The room was big very clean and functional. The bathroom had a bathtub and was very clean. We really enjoyed our stay there and I recommnd this hotel to everyone. I called the hotel before arrival to ensure I get a specific room, they guaranteed me the room. They also have a lot of attentions for free: mattress heater, pillow spray, books ... free coffee, biscuit, papers and internet (with printer) in the library The location is great very central. And we enjo both free sauna and private one (to book in advance)

“Small and quiet with excellent service”

This small hotel located in the old part of town near many design boutiques has an old (and very attractive) facade, but the interior was recently renovated. Rooms face an interior courtyard, which means they are not bathed in sunshine, but the tradeoff is they are extremely quiet. The breakfast is a large, excellent buffet, but the basement dining room has no views. The one sauna has evening hours for women and then for men. Both my wife and I had it all to ourselves. By Helsinki standards, this hotel is a bargain.

“Great hotel, great location”

I liked this hotel and highly recommend it. The location is good, a walking distance to the historical city center.

“Should have a higher Star Rating”

This is a really nice hotel and pretty central, Its really modern and a nice place to stay. I was very satisfied :)

“Great Lobby”

Very good location and a great breakfast.

“helsinki”

this hotel was very comfortable

“Lovely hotel!”

This is a lovely hotel, with attention to detail. After arriving from a whole day's sight seeing, I immediately relaxed when I entered my room! I can't fault it! Just make sure you go to Helsinki when it's warm to appreciate the sites even more!

“a surprising and refreshing change”

was feeling a bit dubious about this hotel, it only appeared to be 3* at best on most of the sites but I needed a hotel slap bang in the middle of Helsinki for a meeting with a scheduled 8.30am start. Plunged in and booked my room. When I arrived at Vaantu, got the bus in to the city centre (4 euros by the way as opposed to 30 in a taxi - ask at tourist info in the airport) 10 minutes walk later I was at the hotel. Stands out fairly well as a cross between a church and a fortress, you come inside and, well, it pretty funky to be honest, the staff are amazing and couldn't be more helpful, their English is flawless and the hotel is just great. The rooms are all in an annex at the back, they're clean modern and extremely comfortable. they have wi-fi, en-suites and a whole range of nice little add ons to the room on a little menu card, including lots of aromatherapy stuff and to top it all the guy on reception brewed me a fresh pot of coffee at 11.45 at night. Beakfast was relatively standard fare, served in the `dungeon' but was all very tasty and great quality, the only thing that wasn't that standard was the pickled baltic herrings for breakfast and they were awesome. Overall if you are in doubt - go for it, I was really surprised it had that rare thing in a hotel nowadays, personality. Enjoy!

“great hotel”

This is a great hotel in Helsinki. The city center is only a few minutes walking. The room was very comfortable.

“Would choose this hotel again when in helsinki”

Lovely hotel, handy for walking to city centre & docks. Very friendly and helpful staff. Superb clean rooms. Didnt get chance to try the sauna this time round.
