Hotels near Helsinki Central Railway Station, Helsinki

I'm pleased with the stay. The room was clean, with a comfortable layout and design. However, I was a bit disappointed that I didn't get the room with a view and a bathtub, despite requesting them during booking. The breakfast offered a variety of choices and was located on the 10th floor with a beautiful view and a roof terrace, allowing for a panoramic city view. The hotel is connected to a shopping mall, making it convenient to access shops, restaurants, and the metro station. I enjoyed the sauna and the quality of the provided shampoo, body gel, and conditioner. However, there is no gym and indoor swimming pool for a workout and exercise. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'll likely come back for the next trip. =)

Our second check-in in the same week as we came back from Rovaniemi. Spacious in the main bedroom area (open 2 large 30inch luggage and still have ample of space to walk) but toilet is very small. All it takes is a 10min shower to flood your entire toilet due to the poor drainage design. You hardly can bathe with ease in the shower area due to the size and structure of pillars. Wouldn’t recommend to pay extra for this room as the proportion of the room is not design well. Our previous stay in the slightly cheaper room was better than this.

I wish I could give 6 stars. 5 for the hotel which was the nicest in all of Helsinki. Central location in a beautiful building retrofitted for the hotel. Of course squeaky clean and modern tech galore. I see thoughtful small touches like fade-in/out lights, quality bedding, sound proofed windows etc at every corner. The extra star for working with me on an error I made during booking process without any fuss. Staff at front desk was very welcoming and professional as well. I really don’t have anything to even nit pick… I guess the standard room was not large by any standards but had high ceilings so it doesn’t feel cramped. And that’s it, can’t recommend more and believe the near 5 star rating by everyone.

Compared with Holiday Inn, the room is larger, the bed is comfortable, the facilities are good, the breakfast is slightly worse, and the location is slightly remote.

I had injured my leg a week ago, so I had contacted the staff and asked to use a bed on the lower bunk, but there was no communication and I ended up using a bed on the second floor with a cast on. I knew it was first come first served, but I felt it would have been better if they had been a little more considerate.

Location - Excellent Room - Comfortable and Clean. Staffs: Nice staffs. Only thing is that we were assigned a room that needs to take 2 separate lifts, which is located in the old Wing or building I suppose. But its still a good room. will definitely return to stay if we are coming back to Helsinki !

I had to wait in front on the hotel for two hours because they didn’t send me the information for self-check in. Facilities and price were good

We had a good stay at Hotel Arthur. The location was pretty convenient for us - it was a 5 minute walk from Helsinki's Central Station for platforms going to/from the airport, tram service was nearby and it was within a 15-20 minute walk of everything we wanted to see in Helsinki. We booked this hotel because it was inexpensive for our stay and it was pretty pleasant.The breakfast was included with our stay and was welcome as well. We booked a twin room with two twin beds. The beds were comfy and we found extra pillows in the closet. We had a really good sleep each night at the hotel because it was very quiet. The room had a couple of chairs including a pretty big cushioned one, a desk and a TV that was mounted high. The room could be a little better with the cleaning of the tv remote and kettle but the beds and bathroom were fine. The hotel is over 100 years old and we felt the hotel showed its age the most in the room because there are some renovations that have been done over the years and it is pretty evident . Our room only had plug-ins at the desk and there was none near the night stand by the beds. The closets were in need of some maintenance because the door tracks were a bit stiff, the floor was peeling and the drywall in the back was loose. The shower used to have sliding doors as evident by the track that wasn't removed but the shower had a curtain that was too short and the floor squeegee was there for a reason because the water went everywhere when I showered. Shower pressure was fine and it was easy to get plenty of hot water. You may want to consider bringing your own bath products because the shower gel was meant for hand soap, body wash and shampoo. The hotel has saunas that you can book upon request. If you book your hotel reservation directly through the hotel you can get a discounted rate of 8 euros per person for the sauna but if you book through another website it is 10 euros per person. There is a nicer sauna that is shown in the pictures of the hotel but it fills up pretty quickly. We got the other sauna and it was ok but was in need of some cleaning because previous guests left their wet towels all over the place instead of in the towel bin located under a bench. We felt it was silly to charge a different rate if you booked through another platform because we wouldn't have heard of this hotel if we didn't use the platform we used! The breakfast was pretty standard and I had a nice English breakfast each day from the buffet. The mushrooms, sausage and hash browns were my favourite but I grew to enjoy the scrambled eggs during my stay because they add something to it that I'm not used to. They also had yoghurt, cereals, cold cut meats, fruit and cheese amongst other standard breakfast staples. They had a juice dispenser, a small selection of tea and black coffee. They also had items that you could pay for at the bar like a cappuccino or chocolate chip muffin. The reception area was pretty good. They had luggage storage and quite a few chairs to sit in. My wife liked their small souvenir shop and got some cute post cards. The staff are very helpful and can provide recommendations for the city. The reception also provide tea and sugar for your room and you can pick up your rations daily. They do not provide regular cleaning for the rooms but you can arrange cleaning or new towels through reception. There are plenty of sights to see nearby as well as cafes, restaurants and shopping malls. The tram is a short walk away and that was very convenient for us as we did a day trip to Tallinn using the ferries to go across the sea. We booked this hotel because it was affordable in a pretty expensive city and we would still recommend it if the pieces are fair. It was a good place to sleep and unwind after each day we spent exploring the area.

Pros - Perfect location, just a stone’s throwaway to the subway - Super new, comfy and spacious room for two - Bathroom was all impeccable with a super strong shower head (major plus points!!) - Strong air-conditioning / heater - Pretty good breakfast spread Cons - Cast to tv feature didn’t work :( - Recep’s service can be better - No kettle in room (available for rent at €5 / day zzz) *pro-tip: get free hot water from the coffee vending machine near the recep*

There are roadworks outside the hotel when visiting in June. If there’s an information to guests in advance, it’ll be better for them to get the better ways (especially with heavy luggages) to arrive. The room and public spaces are clean and the laundry room is available which’s really convenient for traveling longer. The only complaint is that the beers stored in fridge are stolen.
