The building ans room was very modern and clean. The location was near, that is walkkng distance, from everything such as malls, restaurants, and sights. The building was very secure with individual codes to get into the buildîng, the elevator, and the room.

The only reason I give 3 stars on staff is because there is no front desk--everything is handled through the app and text (room assignment and code to enter the building, use the elevator, and enter the room) which was no problem.

I was initially worried that it would be stuffy in the room as you can't open the windows but that wasn't true. In fact the windows are extremely quiet. There was never any noise from outside.

People refer to the room as ship cabin like and I agree. Split double bed, nice bathroom and an actual eating table and small refrigerator and microwave were nice.

Very close to the train station and one block to the tram. Ver walkable location.

Stay in Omena Hotel Yrjonkatu

The TV was completely non-functional, which was a disappointment. We sent both texts and emails to the property management about the issue, but received absolutely no response. It's incredibly frustrating to pay for amenities and then be completely ignored when they don't work. The overall experience really reinforced the old saying: \"you get what you paid for.\"

The perfect budget option in downtown Helsinki. The room was a good size, coffee and a refrigerator were very welcome. The beds were comfortable and it was nice having two luggage racks. Our only complaint was that the windows don’t open for fresh air and the room was stuffy and too warm overnight, in spite of it being quite cold outside. Rooms should have a fan or at least some way to control the temperature.

Good budget hotel

Omena hotel was very central and overall it was a nice stay. The code didn't always work the first time it was put in (even though the light was green) and there were a few stains in the bathroom. But overall the stay was exactly what you need in a hotel and their communication was great throughout

Great location to centre areas of Helsinki. However, the fact there are no physical humans on reception did pose a problem. On entering the hotel one day, a new resident from Turkey couldn't get access & was on the phone 📱 to the 24hr manned reception line to get his room & access code. This phone wasn't answered at all & we had to assist the gentleman with emailing the Website with his booking reference. We also had some problems with the entry code to the front & lift which worked intermittently on a couple of days, but eventually this then worked. Also no one cleans or supplies new towels etc. The bathroom is basic & a little grubby, as was the room. Great location, but given the above issues, wouldn't stay here again. Not recommended.

Terrible experience :(

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Omena. Both nights were terrible, especially because there was no airflow. It was confirmed by a staff member that there was an issue and a maintenance person was supposed to fix it. When I asked for a refund given that the issue was not resolved and not what I paid for (the room was so hot and stuffy), they said they can only offer a 10% refund and that is their policy. For what I paid ($353 Canadian for two nights), it’s around a $35 refund. So, if you have an issue, apparently 10% refund is your max. I would rather pay an extra $100-$150 a night to stay somewhere else.

Okay hotel, no front desk, self check in and out. No Air conditioner. And windows are screwed shut. For safety reasons. You need to phone and ask for a window to be opened. So, I was able to open one window to let cool air inside. Otherwise the room is very hot. Too hot to sleep. You must also phone and ask for an electric fan. Lucky it was early June. The nighttime air outside cooled down. The hotel is around 15 walk from the Helsinki Central Train station.

I have stayed quite often and the rooms are starting to have some shabby elements, like hooks on the walls having fallen off, in some cases the hangars being bent and also the water boiler having completely become layered with calcium remnants in the bottom.
PS. As a regular quest, I would be happier to have a view towards Eerikinkatu if possible, if not, I understand.

After a turbulent start, things did get sorted and the hotel served its purpose. You are meant to receive an email with a link the night before arrival. As this is a 'staffless' hotel, you are required to submit some information before your code number is issued. This code opens the hotels main door, the interior door, the lift, and your room. I never received the link. The next day I tried to contact Hotels.com and the hotel. I couldn't get through to the hotel, and Hotels.com was as much help as a paper umbrella. You must remember, I am now walking aimlessly around Helsinki. Finally I manage to reach the hotel direct, and all was sorted within minutes. I would suggest you book this hotel direct, and not through a third party. The hotel needs your contact details in order to send you the link. The hotel is really well located in the heart of the city. Rooms are large, with a little seating area, and ensuite bathroom. They come with a large TV, hairdryer, tea/coffee facilities, microwave, and a fridge. I'd definitely stay again, as the location and price are great. I would however book with them directly

Omena hotel near Kampi in Helsinki.

Disappointing. Lack of easily accessible mains sockets, the double bed is in an alcove and is difficult to get into and out of. The fibreglass modular bathroom floor is very noisy when you walk on it. The television kept cutting out. Apart from that, it was OK for a budget place to stay.

A very basic property! Did provide good beds and a shower, but strange to see a microwave with no cutlery or crockery, or a place to wash up (although the bathroom worked out due to the clean tap water). Also couldn't open windows which made the room a bit too warm on one day. If you literally want somewhere to stay that's cheap, this is it. If you want to cook... Go to the K-Supermarket in Kamppi and you'll be able to do so!

The location of the hotel is GREAT. It is close to Esplanade, Senate Square, Kamppi bus station, Train station. The code entry worked great and the hotel was adequate and priced correctly for a budget hotel.

The only and probably a major issue we had during the stay was the lack of air conditioning. It can get quite warm inside during the summer and having no air conditioning or even a fan or have the ability to open the window made the room very stuffy. We couldn't sleep well at night because of it. I would urge the hotel to at least provide a fan if the building is not hooked up to provide central air conditioning.

It’s cheap and close to the train station. Has good transport links with trams and metro. Those were the good points. I would’ve like to have been able to open the window to my room to allow fresh air, but there wasn’t any way to open without a key. And some of the lighting and switches could do with upgrading. Couldn’t rate the staff/service as I never saw anyone

City centre location

A great location for all areas of Helsinki whether you are shopping or doing all the Tourist stuff with great access to trams and the metro. What I found a bit obscure is that our room was at the rear of the building and what I thought was a central courtyard was actually the inside of a pub. The opening hours were until 2am with 5am at the end of the week. Although this wasn't a big issue as the sound proofing of the glass was pretty good, there were a couple of times when the noise did wake us in the very early hours.

Saw no staff at all though, and the hallway and lift area smelt of Oriental cooking as there is a restaurant in the same building.

Room generally clean and the bed comfortable. A kettle, microwave and fridge are in the room but there were no plates etc...

Dont expect much sleep.

I travel almost weekly for work. I try not to complain too much as long as there is bed and sleep is possible. However, the window to my room looks directly out into the inside of a bar/poolhall (you are not permitted to open the window - see attached photo). Last night, there was loud music playing and people being loud until 4 am when I had to get up for a 6 am start. Considering I paid to stay here for the main reason to sleep, I was not able to get any because I essentially had a party happening right outside my window. On a Wednesday night. Very disappointing and would have booked elsewhere had I know.
