The hotel overall is ok. Great location. Walking distance everywhere. The shower is a disaster. It gets wet everywhere. It has a like a swing door with no base. It’s terrible. The whole bathroom flooded and splashed all over everyday. Very uncomfortable. Rest is ok.

No AC, room got real warm. Staff gave us a table fan that helped some. Unable to keep the windows open due to loud noises from the street. The building next to the hotel has a nightclub on the top floor, Fri and Sat nights until 4 am! Needed to buy earplugs but still heard the base.

The go-to hotel for my annual trip to Helsinki for Tuska Festival. Comfortable and very convenient access via the lift to the metro station at Kamppi. Also discovered it was possible to rent a kettle for my standard room so I was able to use the stash of teabags I brought with me :-). I'll be back next year!

Hotel was very close to the train station which was convenient and tram station stop directly outside the front of the hotel which is good for getting around during the day.....not so good if you are trying to sleep. It was very warm in the room so had to sleep with window open until the noise either from drunks out or trams noise became too much. Sauna was available on lower lever but only at certain times, only found this out from reviews online not from staff. It's very close to the bus station which is good as lots of shops and supermarkets but be warned we were followed a few times so keep you valuables close keep your eyes peeled. The area around the hotel didn't feel safe at times I'm afraid to say.

You cannot beat this hotel for location. It is a short walk from the main station. It is connected to the mall and subway stations and it is in the heart of Helsinki! Personally, I loved their breakfast. The freshness and organic nature of the food was much appreciated. The staff were incredible and you couldn't ask for better.
However, the rooms are kind of small, amenities lacking and just basic overall.

Pluses - The Scandic is conveniently located in a walkable area. The staff were warm and welcoming; happy to answer questions and provide support. The breakfast buffet is excellent and one of the best attributes of the hotel. The sauna is also a top asset that we enjoyed several times during our stay. It was nice to have a gym available too. Minuses - Amenities in the room were missed like a coffee maker and lotion. Mold in the shower was unappealing. Unfortunately the rooftop bar that was promoted wasn’t open and doesn’t open until late spring and summer.

Room was not acceptable for the price. The sink was clogged - it took 20 minutes to drain. Towels were thin. Bedding was substandard. Housekeeping woke me up at 8am to clean room and then never returned, so my room was never cleaned. Also, no phone in room so I have to get dressed to go to lobby to request something. Poor value

The location isn’t fantastic, there are better places to stay for similar prices. The majority of staff seemed apathetic and unhappy - it was disheartening considering the price of the hotel to not even get a smile.

The lighting situation is horrendous in the rooms, they are so complicated to figure out that a guide has had to be printed and included in the room.
The lights and power in my room ceased to work after the first night (lights were stuck on and all PowerPoints were off) and nobody was available to able to come and look until the following day - thankfully I was able to move rooms instead of waiting.

The bar is incredibly expensive, as is the wellness/spa area and services provided.

Frankly my friends and I, who had paid significant amounts of money to stay at what we thought would be a nice hotel, left disappointed and refused to spend any extra money on additional services (such as breakfast, drinks, etc) and instead spent our money elsewhere.

The aesthetic of the rooms is really nice, they are well styled and my room was cleaned well.

This is a nice hotel in a good location. I've stayed here 4 or 5 times and most likely will be back again.

Offer to upgrade for 20€/night gave us huge balcony from 7th floor. It was definitely worth the money!

On this visit we had some issues with cleaning. One day we left room around 10am with sing in the door handle requesting cleaning. We returned after 3pm and room hadn't been cleaned. In the end we didn't have cleaner visit the room at all.

Mens sauna was also had shampoo and body wash containers either empty or broken.

These are small things which should be quite easy to fix.

We requested an additional heater, but they olny had small ones definitively not enough, we suffer cold for 2 nights. Finally aftet check out, we find out that the storage luggage was unattended and we had to store our luggage at our own riesk.. this is ridiculous, I don't understand how is thas even possible.
