Fantastic building, the interior, rooms, bathroom are beautiful too. Really well cleaned and maintained every day. Location is perfect too, set back from the busy station but a short walk to restaurants and main city sights. I would stay again and highly recommend it

Overall a great sleep because of the good bed, bedding, quiet and dark. The buffet breakfast was just amazing, especially those cinnamon buns. I did find a lack of amenities in the room, no coffee maker or kettle not even a Do not disturb sign, etc.

The room was spacious and the breakfasts outstanding. However, I am mystified by Scandic's eco-friendly light-touch cleaning regime: although I appreciate cleaners can be heavy-handed with all sorts of cleaning products I can't see what prevented them from washing a mug, wiping down the tea/coffee area and replenishing tea coffee and milk as they were in on a daily basis. Reception did help out from supplies downstairs. Beds were never very carefully made and the day before we left sheets were chaged rather wastefully. It was all rather contradictory. We wouldn't want a guest in a room in our own home to feel neglected and that is the impression we received. All rather a pity as it is a wonderful building in the very best possible position for a visit to the capital.

The hotel room was fantastic: convenient, beautifully decorated and calm. However, the building is luke a maze, especially if you need accessible lifts or ranps. The breakfast area was chaotic. There was no flow and hotel guests were going back and forth in a cramped space.

This is a massive hotel right beside the train station in Helsinki. It's an old historic hotel from what we could tell. Hallways are dark but unique with doorways leading to each room. The location is good. The staff are friendly. The included breakfast is decent. We stayed in the Superior room. The beds were comfortable.

This is a beautiful hotel with a fabulous breakfast included every day. Right near the city center. It is basically connected to the train station - which makes it convenient. My room overlooked the courtyard and was quiet. I enjoyed the hotel very much.
