The room is very comfortable and decently decorated with a comfortable king size bed. The location in Tapiola Garden city is excellent for the local architecture. The parking is expensive and the coffee at breakfast was pretty ordinary. Highly recommended for people wanting to be in the centre of Tapiola.

Property was clean, no issues at all.
Some construction works are ongoing at the rear of the hotel which I did not know about. That started about 7am so might be early for other guests.
Small fitness room was adequate.
Food choice in hotel wasn't to my taste but that's not negative review of the restuarant in anyway - but there is a shopping mall less than 2 minutes walk with plenty of food choices there.

Everything you need

An immaculately clean room with top quality beds, linen, and light-blocking curtains (helps with jetlag). Excellent breakfast included, as well as WiFi. Sauna available and also included. Walking distance / adjacent to all Tapiola amenities, shops and restaurants, but at the same time no need to go anywhere; the hotel’s own restaurant is excellent as well. The only thing that should be added is parking; we had to pay extra for that.. The metro takes you in minutes to downtown Helsinki.

Expensive hotel for what it is....

Nice room, but hardly \"executive\", UK budget hotels can be quite similar. Arrived and told the sauna was already taken by a private guest booking, so not even this facility available. Breakfast good but had to share a table with a stranger as busy. Could not check out as the computers were down (at 8am) and had to leave credit card details and an email address. Not what you'd expect from a €200 hotel!

Helsinki Area - Tapiola Sokos Hotel

Very nice, comfortable, well-managed, clean hotel with very accommodating and helpful bilingual staff. Staff is sensitive and proactive about addressing any issues no matter how slight, conveying an attitude of genuine interest in the comfort and well-being of the guest. Breakfast buffet every morning is plentiful and sufficiently diverse to create a proper and personally customized experience. Location of the hotel is very convenient for one wishing to visit Helsinki - just a 20 minute bus ride. You don't need a vehicle as the bus stops are right across the parking lot. One of the best features of the hotel is that it is quiet enough to allow for a good night's sleep every night.

Hotel Tapiola Garden, Tapiola Finland

We love this hotel! This is our third year staying there. It is moderately priced and conveniently located in the Tapiola Shopping Center about 10 Km west of Helsinki. There are buses into Helsinki (Kemppi) that leave about every 15-20 minutes. The bus ride is about 12-15 minutes.

However the best thing about this hotel is its staff. They are extremely helpful and friendly. Their staff gets an A+ from us.

The hotel restaurant is good, but a bit pricey. For a more reasonably priced evening meal, try the Stockmann's cafeteria on the third floor of that store (5 minute walk from hotel). Soup and Salad buffet with bread +butter for 9.70€! Open until 2030 on weekdaysTough to beat!

Convenient to my business meeting.

The hotel was quite pleasant, room well-designed and fast, free internet. It is Espoo, so some distance to downtown Helsinki for tourist purposes, but fine for my business location. Breakfast included and very good with many choices of cold and hot foods. Staff was always pleasant and helpful. The area has much construction at present, and the shopping area has been a little affected by this--not open late, few customers in many stores. I am sure when the work project (extending the subway to Espoo) is completed, this area will rebound and offer more options for dining/shopping. The hotel restaurant is Spanish-themed, and rather expensive (as are most hotels in the Nordic region). But the quality of food was adequate and wait staff cordial.

Nice hotel currently spoilt by major construction outside

A nice looking refurbished hotel on the inside but heating was not working properly in my room.

Not sure if it was particularly busy but breakfast left me with no empty table to sit at, judging by the number of people the setting area wasn't large enough. I found a place after a few minutes.

The hotel is currently spoilt by the extensive earth works out the front where they are constructing a new metro station!

Saying all that, I used to stay here quite regularly but would probably try a different Espoo hotel next time.....

Although it is rated as 4* hotel, don't expect to have coffee/tea & kettle in the room. It is not the $3-4 dollars extra that you got to pay in order to get a warm cup, but the fact that it is available only at the reception level! How on earth did they get 4*?

2 room family stay

Upon arrival, our hotel reservations could not be found, but the friendly staff checked us in and stated that the matter would be worked out later, which it was. We had 2 double rooms very close to each other with a view of the beautiful fountain and swimming pool from our balconies. The rooms were very clean, impeccably maintained, and nicely decorated with quality materials and tasteful decor. The hotel's location was quiet and peaceful and surrounded by large areas of beautiful flower gardens. The room was equipped with a hot water warmer and plenty of complimentary tea, coffee, coco, and bottled water.They provided bathrobes and slippers, which we used when walking to the sauna and the small indoor pool. We worked out in the gym in the morning - which was small, but contained excellent quality exercise equipment. It would have been perfect if a treadmill was present. The large and delicious buffet breakfast was included in the price and included a good variety of hot and cold foods. We will definitely return to this hotel when we visit Helsinki again.

Rauhallista kuin mökillä

Ehdin saunaan vielä klo 20.45, jossa sain viipyä yksin. Kävin pulahtamassa uima-altaassa. Lumenen tuotteita oli tarjolla ihonhoitoon.

Istuskelin iltateellä parvekkeella, ihmetellen kaukaista liikenteen melua. Mäntymaisema ja ohikulkevat rauhoittivat tunnelmaa.

Yö oli sopivan viileä, kun asensimme tuulettimen sopivaksi. Ei melua. Nukuin rauhallisesti.
