Our room was large, airy, very clean and with excellent amenities. It was a comfortable home away from home, a lovely place to relax after a day of walking.
The breakfast was generous and varied with fresh food, well prepared.
The staff was very accommodating. Special mention to the young man on night duty as we left for a very early flight home, who went out of his way to make us a coffee to help us wake up before our taxi came. A small kindness that we will remember!

This hotel was a gem!!! We stayed for 4 nights and I was sad to leave. It was a lovely place in a great location. And the breakfast!!! I was so delicious. I’m not usually a big breakfast person and I was always looking forward to it. The local Finnish porridge with berries was my favorite. Delicious coffee and everything was so fresh! Our room: it was so great! We had a suite that had our own sauna and it was amazing. It was attached to the bathroom so we used it every day.
Such a fun addition to this room. I loved it and I hope to go back someday.

The rooms are beautifully designed and comfortable. It is a little bit away from the train station but I enjoyed the quiet neighborhood. The bathroom is pretty small. If you mind tiny bathrooms, book a larger room. Some amenities were lacking such as a wash cloth and conditioner. Considering the price and design, I will stay again. As a bonus, there is an excellent Japanese restaurant which is kind of hidden from outside.

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.

Wonderful central Helsinki hotel

Very short 1 night stay at the end of our extended Helsinki trip. Over the years having stayed in multiple hotels, this is hands down the best we have stayed in.

Our room was massive with a extremely beautiful sauna. Very clean well decorated and even when leaving early for the airport they put together a breakfast bag and tea for our trip to the airport.

Recommend this hotel this hotel to anybody wanting something a little more spacious with great service from the friendly staff.

Friendly and naturally stylish, hotel Helka made my family's stay in Helsinki. Best breakfast I've had in a hotel in a very long time. Being able to press a button to have a delicious oat flat white is a true luxury!

Not being a fan of any form of waste, I appreciated the old building having been left to look it's age retaining it's rich history, which in turn gave a lovely backdrop for showing off some Finnish design (do visit different floors to appreciate this).
We will be back!

Flawless experience. The staff are very friendly and accommodating to any requests you have. The hotel was clean The sauna was great, it wasn't being used much by other guests so took the opportunity to use it multiple times during my stay. I've been to Helsinki many times, and this is my new favourite place to stay, will return the next time I visit the city. The price is alright and not too much more expensive than other hotels, considering it's in the most expensive part of the city. Very easy to to get to from the Central Station as it's just 3 tram stops away.

We stayed one night at Helka hotel. The stay itself was fine and the staff was very kind, but our room wasn't properly cleaned. We found visible dust in many places and a hair hanging on the towels dryer, as well as some small hair product bottle full of dust on the floor, probably left from another guest. There was mold in the sealing of the door in the shower (which wasn't closing properly and leaking water when we showered, but we reported it to the receptionist when we left).

We didn't expect this kind of things from a four star hotel. If it wasn't for the cleaning, our stay would have been a 5 out of 5.

I would like to highlight the breakfast, which was very good, with a good of variety and allergens clearly indicated.
