Fabulous as always, the superior room with the balcony was excellent: quiet, lovely and big, excellent light and a nice walk in shower well worth paying extra for. All hotel amenities were great, towels, robe slippers etc. Great sauna available free in the evenings or morning. Breakfast was superb, such a big selection and lovely views from the 10th floor. The location of this hotel is fantastic and allows ease of use for all of the city, easy to find straight out of the airport/ train to city with no real walking distance with luggage in the snow this is a bonus! 100% would recommend.

The hotel is a throwback to the 70s. Has not been updated since the Nixon administration. I really didn’t mind the old style, it was kind of charming actually.

I did mind the fact that the tub drain wasn’t positioned properly and all the water draining from the tub wound up on the floor during my wife’s shower. I know it’s not my problem, but I can’t allow water to gratuitously drain on the floor….anyone’s floor. I was vexed by this problem. Luckily I have plumbing skills and I was able to take the two plates off of the access portion and I noticed that the pvc drainpipe from the tub was not squarely positioned over the separate floor drain. I carefully nudged the tub’s drain pipe so its end became positioned over that floor drain. Bingo! The problem was solved. The tub water then drained properly. No runs, drips or errors. I didn’t have to bug the staff and I was quite proud of myself for fixing it. That’s the German blood in me I suppose.

If you want towels replaced, you need to pre-arrange that at the front desk. My wife was informed that she should have arranged this originally at check in. I think it was a bit of eco-shaming.

Overall, the hotel has good karma I believe. Finland is a bit behind the times, but it’s all quite charming. We ate a reindeer for dinner in a nearby restaurant. There were many restaurants present in the surrounding area of the hotel.

The Bolt/Uber is a bit crazy just outside of the hotel, but just send the driver a message you are at Sokos.

Corner of the building 6th floor “Railway station view room” was a stretch when the view was from side window and rest of the windows faced building across the road and room was on top of the tram line. Room itself was great, superior king, lots of space and nice retro vibe. Inside the hotel and hallways were quiet BUT trams outside kept me up and woke me up during the three night stay. Breakfast was sufficient and view from 10th room restaurant great. Special thank you to Adalina at front desk. We appreciated your help on the day we checked out.

Original Sokos Vaakuna is a gem near the train station in Helsinki. The decor is charmingly restored vintage, everything I. Great condition. Very worthwhile to get a superior room on the 9th floor for amazing views and your own balcony overlooking the city. The 10th floor bar has even more incredible views with slightly higher than average cocktail prices but totally worth it. You can order a few menu items there at the bar and I recommend the creamy salmon soup- a good portion of grilled salmon with cooked vegetables in a milk and butter broth. The location is great for arriving by train (or by commuter train from the airport) and for walks to the Esplanadi, the waterfront, shopping and dining and to the design district.

4.5 stars. Bad about this hotel is no pool and fitness facility. But you can walk 5 minutes across the street to use the facilities ant the Presidentti at no charge. Ice is only available from the bar in the restaurant on the 10th floor, and a server isn’t there all the time. Wifi is free but weak and patchy. Standard rooms are very small such that 2 guests would be tripping over one another. Bathroom is tiny with no counter space.
Else, very convenient location with lots of shopping, eating and sightseeing opportunities within walking distance. Close to several public transportation hubs (bus, train and streetcar). Also a great pickup spot in front of the hotel main entrance for taxi or ride share pickup.
I would highly recommend staying here and would not hesitate to stay again if in a larger room.

I reserved the 2 double beds with the 3rd bed option for my stay. The room had a \"courtyard view\" (i.e., overlooking the mall); it was quiet, spacious, spotless, had a nice sitting area, and the bathroom featured a deep soaking tub. Other room amenities included a mini fridge, coffee maker, safe, iron & board, desk, and generous clothing storage. I was not given a bathrobe or slippers - perhaps my room wasn't of that class? I didn't ask for them, either, as it simply wasn't that important to me, but YMMV.

The breakfast was a bit chaotic during the weekend, but that isn't unusual. There were many options for vegetarian/vegan and gluten-free, as well as the usual fare.

The sauna was delightful. If the opening hours were extended (earlier, later, or both) and morning hours were available for weekdays, I'd have used it more than I did.

The hotel itself was very nice, looked well-maintained, and was clean. The staff were wonderful from check-in to check-out, and I appreciate that they extended my checkout time without fuss when I inquired, especially given that my request was last-minute. Proximity to Helsingin päärautatieasema was important as well.

I didn't eat at Restaurant 10. Kerros, but Casa Largo was wonderful. Hesburger was wonderful as always; S-Market was a huge bonus, as was their huge assortment of Long Drink.

Overall, my stay was excellent, and I would stay here again in the future. Kiitos!

Large and clean room. Very good location. Staff are friendly and very helpful. But feel not safe for the sauna room, as no separate card for female sauna room. And the opening hours for sauna are too limited.

Excellent location across from Helsinki Station. It's an old hotel probably making it hard to upkeep but it feels dirty overall and housekeeping quality is low. Towels smell a bit, balcony has debris, sinks don't drain fast, etc..

Love this hotel in central Helsinki.

Friendly staff, great breakfast and you can’t beat the location.

Great history too as the hotel was opened for the Helsinki Olympics in the 50s.

I loved my stay here! The hotel is literally across from the train station making it easy to get to and from the airport. It is also very close to all the trams. The room was larger than most and even included a bath robe! The bed was very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again!!

Really loved staying here. The room was clean and quiet. Great views (we were on the 8th floor) easy access to buses, trams, trains. 10th floor breakfast was amazing. If you have the chance to meet Adam there he is a wonderful young man. Sauna was excellent. Staff at the hotel were friendly, kind and helpful. All the suites were close by, eating was close by. Korvapuusti is a must and Lidl has them very inexpensive.

We were only here for one night and it's a great location. The check in took forever and it wasn't organized at all (the only real complaint if I had one). They just need to add ropes for a line formation or something. We chose a view of the shopping center and I wish I would've chosen something else. My fault! It's a great location and we walked everywhere, to that's a bonus. The room itself was clean and so was the property.

Architectural gem in center city

Great location for arrivals from the train, with centre city at your feet and all transit options nearby. For architecture buffs this 1952 era hotel is a must see - the public spaces (lobby, 8th floor elevator space, restaurant) are gorgeously detailed and retain their integrity.

Right in front of the train station and surrounded by trams. There is a huge store and supermarket right underneath the hotel.

The breakfast room is sumptuous and overlooking the city (10th floor) and the buffet (included with the room) is the largest I have seen in a hotel.

Our room (2-twin beds and an extra bunk bed) had hard wood floors and was larger than regular 2-twin rooms. I asked for a quiet spot and it was definitely very quiet indeed.
