4-Star Hotels in Uusimaa, Finland

We had a great few nights stay at Scandic Grand Central. The check-in process was smooth- The hotel even provided an online check-in option that would also notify us when our room is ready so that we can check in earlier. The room was a little smaller than we imagined but nevertheless well-equipped. The breakfast buffet is a MUST- There's a wide variety of food and they are all scrumptious. The staff was warm and accommodating- Big thumbs up to the cleaning staff who greeted us everyday without fail with the biggest smile on their faces. The location is also fantastic-Its very central so all the tourist attractions and transport is within walking distance.

Good location which is very near to the main railway station. Walk out of the station and you can see the hotel on your right. Look for the lockers in the rail station and you are on the correct way to the hotel. The hotel has luggage storage which is very useful. When your next travelling time is in the evening. Take the tram no.3 and then no. 2 to move around the city.

I was carrying about 35kg of camera gear in my suitcase and backpack. The walk from the station was tough—Google Maps led me through a steep and rocky path. If you’ve got heavy bags or you’re older, I recommend taking the riverside path on the other side—it’s longer but much easier. But once I got to the room, I totally forgot the hard part. It was such a lovely space—calm, cozy, and beautiful. The owner was super kind and easy to talk to. I had a great time here and would definitely stay again when I visit Zermatt. Thanks for the amazing stay and memories^ ^

Let me talk about the facilities first, very perfect! The bathroom has a washing machine, drying rack and laundry balls! Dry and wet separation! Kitchen has everything! Oven, dishwasher, all kinds of pots and pans! All you can think of is ready! The industry also provides! ! USB charging head! Plate! ! ! ! Everything is so beautiful 😊 Traveling is also very convenient ～～ From Helsinki Central Station, take the No. 4 bus and get off at kauppiaankatu and walk for less than 1 minute. Basically, you can see the signboard when you look up! Don't worry about the problem of luggage dragging for a long time to get to the accommodation point! Very close! ! There is also a supermarket downstairs where you can buy ingredients ～👍👍👍 Check-in only needs to be registered on the mobile phone ～ to get the check-in password ～ very effective and fast!

Our experience wasn't off to a good start, dealing with Jason when dropping our bags in the morning. He was borderline racist, assuming we were with the other Asian groups, making presumptions about our requests, and had difficulties understanding our requests on arranging for early to-go breakfast boxes. But everything else during our stay was perfect hence the 5 stars. Everyone else we dealt with, including the house keepers, restaurant staff and cleaners were all great - very helpful and friendly. The hotel is strategically located right next to the Central railway station. The room itself was large and clean and beautifully decorated. We also tried out the facilities including sauna and cold plunge (a Finnish culture), which were top notch. The gym was also world class and properly better equipped than some other commercial gyms out there. The other highlight was the breakfast. So many options even for vegetarians like us, all allergens clearly labelled. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who's ever in Helsinki.

Overall, my recent stay with Bob W was disappointing. I booked the 4-person penthouse room primarily for the use of the sauna on my last day of the trip. Firstly, pin code provided was only valid for door access to the stairs, not door to the elevator side at night. This became a significant inconvenience, especially for a female traveler like myself who arrived at night after a tiring flight. Having to carry a 20kg luggage and a 10kg carry-on up five flights of stairs was both physically demanding and frustrating. Clear arrangements on how to access the elevator at night should have been considered for guest. Secondly, check-in process was not clearly communicated, causing panic upon arrival. Unfortunately, I had to seek help from customer service on a third-party booking site and reach out via email to obtain a check-in link, which added unnecessary stress and confusion. Furthermore, instruction for turning on the sauna were unclear, and I was unable to enjoy it until the next morning at 8am, just few hours before my checkout time. I had specifically chosen the penthouse room with the sauna for a relaxing and enjoyable experience. due to the lack of clear instructions, and had to seek assistance to figure out how to operate it properly, which ate into the limited time I had available to enjoy the amenity. In conclusion, my stay with Bob W fell short of my expectations. The limited time to enjoy the amenities, issues during the check-in process and accessing the elevator, made for a less than satisfactory experience. I hope that Bob W seriously takes feedback into consideration and makes the necessary improvements to ensure a more enjoyable stay for travelers in the future. Thank you

The building is pretty new and clean. However it is relatively small consider Helsinki is not a crowded city. It is conveniently located with a small supermarket around the corner. Otherwise will have to walk back to Helsinki station area where there are a few larger supermarkets available. Heating is not very strong for the time we visited (late Oct). I can't imagine how heating would be enough during winter. We were quite happy with our stay but one small thing that can be improved - a simple instruction on how to separate our rubbish. We are happy to comply with the Finnish way of recycling but at the same time we were a bit confused on which bin is for which item.

I have no idea why some complains about the customer service, it was nice. The location is not really far from PK area, but there are not many restaurant options nearby. The worst part for me was just that the room is quite bad though the hotel was not really expensive. I have not seen any hotel that does not have a shampoo or body wash... Ofc, no toothbrush, no toothpaste.. No fridge, even no glass for drinking.. 🤔

There are many annoying emails for Japanese people who are not good at English, such as online check-in, but overall I would like to stay again! First of all, it may have been a last-minute sale price, but I was lucky to stay in such a clean and spacious room in Helsinki for just over 10,000 yen. It was helpful that the ferry terminal to Tallinn was nearby early the next morning. On the other hand, it is a little far from the center, but it is very close at about 15 minutes by T9. Also, the room is on two floors, and the kitchen is on the first floor. There is also cutlery, so it is easy to eat what you buy at the supermarket! The high-end supermarket near the Moomin shop also has prepared foods, so I recommend it. The second floor is the bedroom. It is a hassle to move to the bedroom, but the sofa in the living room on the first floor is large and very relaxing. Also, there was a type of outlet that had a USB and C type set! It was extremely convenient! The downside is that I was given a card key, but if I was going to check in online, I would have to download the app to get the card key. I didn't bother downloading either. There's nothing in particular nearby, but it was actually nice and quiet. Overall, it was a hotel I'd like to stay at again!

Very clean and tidy hotel, very close to Aalto University, it is a serviced apartment, there is a supermarket downstairs, the requirements reserved when booking the room were arranged very satisfactory, there are also entertainment venues on the first floor, billiards, sauna, public kitchen, public meeting room, gym, very convenient and safe, opposite is the supermarket, buying food is also very convenient, the hotel is very cost-effective, next time I will choose here
