It's a weird but great little hotel, provided you read what it is and have reasonable expectations. It's shared bath, and the rooms are sparse but clean and comfortable. For the price you pay, it's more than fair. Don't book it for your romantic get away, but if you want a good price on a great location and the room is just a place to sleep. It's perfect.

This is a good place for a budget stay in the middle of the city.
The hotel is very basic. The rooms are very basic. One has to realize that this hotel is consists of maybe 8-10 rooms on the 5th floor of a building. Rooms do not have toilets/showers. So, when booking one has to be aware of this. It is a single floor of a building! It has two very small toilets for men/women. It has a shower that would be a shower of a typical home. It has a small kitchen, with a normal size fridge, a sink, a small dinner table, a stove, ...
The location is very central.
The lady at the reception was terrific. She was warm, welcoming, smily, helpful. Thanks Galina for your hospitality.

Great location

Older property on the fifth floor of the building. Some quirkiness due to age, but great central location and a tram stop literally right outside the door of the building. I had an emergency when my original lodging was cancelled hours before check-in, and Senate Hotel was able to accommodate me at very short notice.

It was very central to Helsinki City centre a 8 min stroll to centre shops & restaurant /cafes.
Plus a fair price, not overly expensive,
Only thing was the shared bathroom & shower facilities are shared for all rooms I think.
But that's a small price to pay for a clean tidy room at half the price of similar hotels in Helsinki, plus there's a cool Kereoke bar on street level open till 4am popular with local Helsinki party goers.

It’s unattended between hours 14-21.

Good location.
They don’t make it obvious when booking that you can only arrive between hours 14-21. Other than that time it’s unattended. So if you are arriving later at night, too bad, you’re on the street and they keep your money.

A word of caution

When I made the booking, I was charged immediately by the hotel (whereas most hotels charge you AFTER checking in). However, on the day I went to check-in, the \"hotel\" was closed when I arrived around 11:20 pm. Because they don't have any after hour service. The problem is, I was NOT informed of this limited services when I made the booking nor when I receive the bill upon reservation.

As a tourist in a new city, I had to spend money (a hefty taxi bill and last minute booking at another hotel) and time to find accommodation for the night. What is more unacceptable is, when went to book online for that night of stay, this hotel STILL showed up as an option to book for that night. What a way to deceive people.

I am filing a refud request with Hotels.com. Let's hope they address this.

Regarding the hotel, I would highly caution regarding booking at this place.

Not a hotel!

We arrived early at 9am expecting that the room would not be available for check-in. Hotels, however, have staff on hand to allow guests to enter the building and most, if not all, provide luggage storage until check in. There was no staff on hand and we had to wait until 11am for staff to show up so that we could drop off our luggage and get on with our day in Helsinki.

Convenience and basic comfort with an edge

The hotel was incredibly well located- only minutes walk from top sightseeing spots and local fresh food market. Check in was easy, even for a friend who joined us after check in hours. Staff werer friendly, but not easily accessible. Rooms were basic, and toilets/shower were clean. Communal kitchen area offered free tea/coffee as biscuits, as well as basic kitchen ammenities. Communal balcony also very cute! If you're looking for a no frills, convenient short stop, this is a great option.

Overall, a good experience:).

Solo getaway in Heldinki.
The hotel was nice. A bit non-obvious in the beginning because this was a converted apartment into a hotel. It was on the top floor and you had to go through residential floors to get there.
If you can get over some specifics such as having to share a shower and the bathroom, other things equal, it was a pretty good stay.
The details were taken care of. For example there was a converter on the main plug on the room so given that I was traveling internationally it was a plus that I did not have to untangle mine out of my bag. There was a sink in the room, so although not a bathroom you could wash your face/teeth, etc. In the room before heading to the corridor.
The bathroom was really clean. I appreciate that being away from home. The shower had shampoos and you get a towel, which makes this a hotel experience (you don't feel like in a hostel where you have to carry your own shampoo/towel which is difficult if you're carrying only a hand luggage (the airport security will confiscate shampoos).
And when you wake up in the morning there's coffee and biscuits waiting for you in the kitchen. And they are free. This is perfect if you're on the run to go check out the city as I was.
Tip: there is a ring at the outside of the main floor door. If you ring it, this is connected to the hotel person (who actually stays in one of the rooms). He will come out and help you.

Small hotel with shared facilities. Occupies 5th floor of an old residential building in the historical center of the city.
OK overall, but a single shared bathroom and 2 WC's for 10+ rooms were somewhat of a disappointment.

quiet hotel very central for attractions and shops

The staff were friendly and the hotel was very clean. It suited us as we were able to use the kitchen to prepare some of our own meals.

Rezervasyon yaparken oda seçiminde belirtilen özel banyo tuvalet seçeneği gerçeği yansıtmıyor. Böyle bir oda yok. Tüm odalar ortak banyo ve tuvalet kullanımlı. Otelden çok hostel konseptinde. kapılar çok sert açılıp kapandığı için gece boyunca tuvalete girip çıkanın bile gürültüsünü duymanız mümkün. Tek kişilik odadaki yatak o kadar dar bir ranza ki uyurken düşmek mümkün. yatak başlığı olmadığı için yastığınız duvara yaslı konmuş. Sadece konumu mükemmel, çalışanlar nazik, düzenli temizlik yapılmakta.

Pieni huone, äänet käytävästä kuuluu selvästi, eli ei herkkäuniselle. Yksi wc käytävällä. Vesipiste huoneessa. Juhliin meneville plussaa oli hyvät valot ja kookkaat peilit. Sopivan lyhyt matka keskustaan.
Pieni minijääkaappi huoneessa.

Nice staff, very rough facilities.

Nice staff, and a great location, seeing it is so close to the city centre. But I was surprised how rough the room and the shared bathroom were.
I wouldn't consider this a hotel, but rather a motel.

But, the price was low so I guess that nakes up for a part of it.

En suosittele allergikoille ollenkaan serverta vanha kiinteistö, itse oireilin todennäköisesti käytävän vanhasta kokolattiamattosta 😟

Reppureissaajalle ja lapsiperheille hyvä paikka kun keittiö käytössä missä evästä tehdä. En sanoisi hotelliksi koska yhteis vessat ja suihku. Huoneesta löytyi oma lavuaari ja jääkaappi.

Godt centralt beliggende i centrum og gå afstand til mange seværdigheder. Lidt svært at finde, da det ligger på 5 sal i en ældre bygning, så det lig er e. Alm opgang. Obs man deler toilet og bad med de andre værelser. Rigtig fint til prisen. Vil gerne bruge hotellet en anden gang.

This is a great location if you're visiting Helinski. It's close to the train station, the port, and of course, the senate square. It's in the 5th floor of an old building but it has an elevator and everything works smoothly.

Trevlig ställe, lätt känna sig hemma.

Trevlig vistelse i denna gammaldags möblerad apartment. Träffade några trevliga medresenärer där. Lugn atmosfär.
Sulle varit trevligt att ha en liten flekt i rummet åtminstone under dessa extremt varma dagar/ nätter som det råkade vara när jag var där.
En sak jag borde ha sagt i expeditionen var att ducshreglage funkade inte. Det gick inte att ha svalt vatten utan nästsn bara brännhet. Reglaget borde bytas.

Karaokerestaurang på gatuplan huset brevid tyckte var trevlig. Stack in några gånger för att lyssna en stund när folk sjöng.
Gångavstånd till allt.Trevligt att dricka morgonkaffet på torget och fortsätta promenaden via Esplanad som var dekorerat fint med blomster arrangemang.

See the Helsinki Cathedral from the windows

This hotel is located in very fine location of Helsinki, very near to it are Helsinki Cathedral and old government buildings and in general you are near to everything of downtown. Hotel has friendly staff and everything works, old school. Value for money! Will visit again.

Es sollte angemerkt werden, dass dies kein Hotel ist. Es ist eher so etwas wie ein Hostel mit Einzelzimmern und keinem Personal ab einer bestimmten Uhrzeit
Location: Perfekt, Alles downtown ist zu Fuss erreichbar
Sauberkeit: Für das Alter der Unterkunft ok
Unterkunft: Sehr in die Jahre gekommen (als Beispiel der Aufzug ist von 1920), überall Wasserflecken und andere Altersflecken sichtbar. Leider sehr hellhörig.
Küche: Ist für Alle offen jedoch direkt neben Zimmer
Mein Zimmer: Sehr klein, Fenster auf den \"Raucherbalkon\" ohne richte Vorhänge zum zu machen

Alles Ansicht, war es billig für Helsinki, gut für eine Nacht, aber mehr als schlafen würd ich da nicht

Olisko kiva kun huoneesi saa katsella vapaasti ikkunasta. Rikkinäiset sälekaihtimet ja ikkunan takana tupakkapaikka-parveke. Huoneen sijainti yhteiskeittiön vieressä ilman että ovessa kunnollisia äänieristeitä.. Onneksi vain oli maanantai eikä ollut paljoa väkeä.

チェックインの門限が22:00でヘルシンキの港への到着が21:00であったため、ホテルまでの移動にもたつくと間に合わないかもしれないとメールで連絡すると、ホテルまでの詳細な道のりを教えてくれました。

Gammeldags, dåligt bemötande.. kmr nte tillbaka

Ibland har man en dålig dag och mannen i receptionen hade nog det. Var ungefär som att bli inkvarterad på en ny arbetsplats med en chef som inte tror på en. Jag förväntar mig inget spektakulärt för 60 euro men jag har bott bättre för halva den pengen

Gammeldags och omodernt men gillar man det så är det väldigt mysigt. 5 våningar upp och dit tar du dig med en gammal trähiss som knarrar. Ligger rätt bra till, nära till tunnelbana och spårvagn. Inte ett ställe jag kommer bo på igen

Enganação!!!

Um absurdo!!! Fiz reserva pra minha irmã se hospedar, como o vôo dela chegava fora do horário do check-in fui até o hotel pra avisar e realizar o check-in por ela, chegando lá ninguém me atendeu e fui embora. Quando minha irmã chegou, foi pro meu hotel e passou a noite comigo. No dia seguinte retornamos ao hotel para realizar o check-in e novamente não havia ninguém, ficamos lá por 2h e ninguém apareceu, subimos porque algum morador abriu mas só haviam hóspedes e eles não conseguiam nos ajudar. Vimos que havia um quarto vago mas com nome e reserva de outra pessoa então fomos embora e fizemos contato com o hoteis.com e estamos até agora sem respostas. Hoje dia 28/07 ainda estou sem hotel em Helsinki e sem retorno do hostel e do site!!! Um absurdo completo, fui enganada... quero meu dinheiro de volta!!!

Hyvällä paikalla, vaatimaton ja edullinen yösija

Vastaattohenkilöstö puhui hyvin huonosti suomea. Huoneeseen kuului toisten asukkaiden ovissa kulkeminen todella hyvin. Vastapäätä hotellia oleva rakennustyömaa herätti klo 08.
Muuten ihana vanhanaikainen huoneisto, hyvällä paikalla keskustassa.

Almost great

The idea was just to have a sleep with reasonable price in suitable location, so in this meaning it was just supergood choice. The entrance (which was a bit hard to recognize ast there is no big sign or any hint except a small label)) was just behind the tram stop. Very easy to get to any place in Helsinki. Room was quite okay, but as the house is maybe nearly 100 years old, so was probably the door. So every small noize from corridore was heard and it was quite annoying during whole night...as the toilets are in corridor and some people just dont get it that its 3 am. But that was the only mistake! So-reccommended, when in budget!

Excelente custo benefício!

A localização maravilhosa vale como primeira referência! mas é daqueles hoteis antigos, simpáticos que se sobe por aqueles elevadores antigos de porta de correr, com poucos quartos, com atendimento apenas na chegada, mas com uma cama boa, espaço para fazer refeições e um bom preço!
