I chose it because I was attracted to the design, but the atmosphere was even better than I expected and I was very satisfied. The original bath amenities (shampoo, conditioner, body soap, hand wash, hand and body lotion) had a nice scent and were pleasant to use. Slippers are available for an additional fee, so I recommend bringing your own if you need them.

The location is right next to the central station, making it easy to find and get around! I'd love to visit again! It's also the perfect location for airport transfers!

The room is small, newly renovated, and next to the train station square, it is convenient and fast to travel, and you can walk to any place in the city. The hotel has an old-fashioned style. It is very nice and crowded.

Unbeatable location, nice breakfast and venues, friendly services.  Our compliment to a front desk lady staff who helped us to upgrade our room since the housekeeping missed cleaning our room accidentally (we left the room in normal morning hours without DND sign).  One point about the sauna: we anticipate it would be sizable and found it was tiny and humbly equipped therefore we did not try it eventually.  Overall, this Scandic Central experience is much better than the previous Scandic version in CPH.  We highly recommend this hotel for  those to Helsinki.

The location was great. The building was very large and historic, and it was very beautiful. The breakfast was delicious, with croissants and meatballs.
