Note: I only gave the staff 3 stars because there was no staff to deal with - everything was automated.

But other than that, City Box is a great place to stay in Kallio. It was my second time there and will happily stay there again.

If you are not familiar with the Citybox hotel chain, like I wasn't, you will be surprised by their extremely lean structure and staff. Having said that, I don't think their obsession with efficiency caused any problems with our stay. Checking in and out is extremely fast and easy, the communal kitchen is convenient and clean, the few staff members we came across were very friendly and helpful, and the premises were brand new. Rooms were initially clean and functional (although not cleaned again for any of the other 5 nights we spent there). The lack of a TV in our room wasn't particularly a big deal, but including separate hygiene products for hair and body, as well as a hair conditioner, would have been great. The particular location was not the best for visiting the city, but there were a good number of restaurants and shops around.

A compact, but comfortable room. Away from the crowds, but walkable to everything. This would be a 5 star review except that the bathroom had a strong odor of mildew. The shower is generally clean, but there is mildew and mold clearly in the corners and on the grout. Some deep cleaning is needed. It doesn't help that the air conditioning is off when you are not in the room. The lack of are circulation must be contributing to the problem. I expect this issue will be present in all rooms.

Lots of restaurants and food options nearby. Many have discount agreements with Citbox, which is a nice feature.

The price is very reasonable. I would stay again if they solve the mildew issue.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel! The staff was friendly and helpful, the rooms and the common areas were sparkling clean, and the fact that there is a shared \"kitchen\" area where you can heat up food and use dishes is really a plus if you don't want to eat out everyday!
We had a long stay there and it didn't disappoint. The bed was extra comfy and the size of the room was largely enough for two people with lots of luggage. I couldn't recommend this place more.

Amazing value for money, Citybox is a beautiful hotel with a luxurious designer feel. The rooms are very spacious, the kitchen/dining/chillout area in the lobby is so handy with microwaves and fridges to store your food. The location is superb, in a lovely quiet neighbourhood just a 15 to 20 minute walk or a quick metro/tram ride to the centre of the city and its attractions. Lots of cafes, restaurants and supermarkets close by. It was the ideal retreat to return to at the end of a day's sightseeing. Highly recommended and we cannot wait to return!

Location was perfect, so close to the Metro, trams and buses although it was halfway up a hill. You could get to most places by public transport within 15-30 minutes including walking time.
Plenty of nearby restaurants and cafes. The area is pleasant and relatively quiet and close to a park and supermarkets. The church at the top of the hill was worth a visit.

The hotel rooms were spacious and clean but basic. Nowhere to store your clothes apart from some hooks and hangers. The bathroom was big enough, had a large area to put your toiletries and the shower was nice. You can drink the tap water from the bathroom so no need to buy bottled water.
The wooden bedroom chairs were so uncomfortable that I had to go downstairs to sit in the more comfy chairs in the communal lounge. The bedroom carpet tile were like rubber mats so were not nice to walk on bare feet and looked dirty, even if there weren't. The bed mattress, sheets and pillows were all clean but I found long hairs i the corner underneath the mattress.

Check-in, check-out and luggage storage was so easy that I did not interact with staff during my stay. I liked the communal kitchen facilities, which were kept clean by the staff for the duration of my stay. I left something in one of the fridges overnight and it was still there in the morning for breakfast which is a good sign :-)

The wi-fi was good.

Overall, I liked this hotel and would stay here again if I came back to Helsinki.

Great hotel, very modern. Breakfast is at a cafe around the corner. The laundry machines are on the ground floor and cost ten Euros per wash and another ten per dry! Steep. Also very busy with some kind of high school trip when I was there. No front desk so check-out and check-in are via a digital kiosk, very efficient. Staff were around to help out if you had questions or issues. I just thought the laundry was not very convenient, the breakfast could offer more options (e.g. fresh fruit, lattes) and I’d prefer not to have to go outside to get my first coffee of the day.

Location is very good, surrounded by several shops, restaurants and bars in Kallio area. Automatic check in and check out was smooth and easy. Hotel room clean and had all basic facilities. I enjoyed the double bed as stayed by myself.
I figured out on the 2nd day where the light switches were and for which lights there for, also liked the black out curtains.
Hairdryer worked just very short time and I could not figure out what was the issue.
In general I had a pleasant stay

I did not use the laundry facilities or really engage with any staff except housekeeping, who kindly offered to help me with my bags when I was struggling to pull them all. The bed was comfortable, linens were clean, and the room was surprisingly spacious. My only real complaint was the water temperature didn't get quite hot enough for my liking, and I would have really appreciated if they had a sauna to match Finnish culture. It was about 15 minutes walking to the University of Helsinki campus and had a lot of grocery stores, cafes, and dining options nearby. Overall, this was a really great budget-friendly stay and kept me comfortable for 5 days.

The air conditioning did not work and I notified the front desk immediately. They would not refund my money, move rooms, or fix the issue and said “the manager is on vacation”

Great stay!

It was centrally located and very clean! It had all the amenities if you wanted to save some money and buy food and reheat it up.

Easy to check in and out, and to check luggauge - having computers keeps the price down. Help available when needed. Clean and comfortable beds.

No vehicular access! Stay away!

The property is surrounded by a years-long major road construction project. Thus it is utterly inaccessible by car or taxi. This is not in any way communicated by the management. And there are no signs near the temporary \"gangplank\" to the hotel to indicate that one is going in the right direction. This complete lack of necessary communication is unacceptable! In my case, it resulted in two hours of wandering and an added taxi expense. Once inside, the hotel clerk was outstandingly helpful and friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. But the irresponsible behavior of the management cannot be forgiven or ignored. I must recommend not staying at this property!

A wonderful stay!

I love the CityBox brand and stay here whenever I am in Scandinavia. The room was excellent - without frills (minimalist in design) , and very comfortable. Location was ideal with the subway access in the building, and teams stopping almost across the street. Lots of dining options in the area as well as a lovely cafe that had breakfast. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

My only suggestion would be to clearly identify when cleaning is scheduled. My stay was 10 days long, and cleaning happened twice.

A very new, great hotel, ideal for what we needed, great rooms, comfy bed and pillows, plenty of space even in the 'small' rooms.

Clean, tidy, friendly and helpful staff/hosts. No TV in rooms which is no issues, good WiFi, communal area comfy seats a table tennis table, and a large kitchen, with coffee machines (pay to use, €2.50) for a variety of coffee, kettles, toaster and microwaves for guests to use to make their own breakfast, fridges for people to store their fresh food/drinks - just label 🏷 it as instructed.

There's a lidl not far from the Hotel to get what you need for breakfast or suggtions to eat.

About 20-30minutes walking from city centre or about 5 minutes on the Metro.

100% recommended and would stay again if in Helsinki, and will use the chain again if visiting other locations with CityBox in it.

Hotel does recommend places to eat, and many you get discount with your room card, between 5-20% depending on the place, juttutupa was one place which is also highly recommended.

Good value for money

Nice new hotel with train station, buses and trams all nearby. Also walkable to the centre and port. Room was small, clean and basic. Ideal for short stays. Would recommend.

New concept in hotels

The concept is interesting - no front desk, common areas where you can cook or visit, small rooms, etc. Even though the room was tiny, it had everything we needed, and we loved the big windows looking out on the city. It was new and spotlessly clean and the bed was heavenly comfortable. It was within walking distance of the Helsinki Cathedral and harbor area. There were some great little restaurants in the neighborhood. We'd highly recommend it.

Super clean and convenient location. Close to shops and many food options. Loved the small market located attached to hotel building for meal options when you don’t want to eat out or do fast food. Public transportation just steps away. Would not hesitate to come back!

Nice hotel in good location in Helsinki

The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the location was good, right around the corner from a metro station, just 2 stops to central station. Neighborhood was safe and quiet, and its very close to a 24 hour grocery store. I would stay here again.

Modern hotel for a decent/budget price.

Modern hotel, great reception area and good use of technology. Excellent amenities. Nice bathrooms. Only negative, the flooring in the bedroom is like a course vinyl, clearly installed to last and easy to clean, but not very comfortable to walk on.

This is the second citybox hotel we have stayed at and it was just as good as the first! Would highly recommend the company. The hotel is clean, accessible and the communal areas are great. The only issue we have is that there is a coffee machine where you can purchase different coffee and as a non-coffee drinker a machine that also had tea or hot chocolate options would be a nice addition!
