Hiisi Hotel Helsinki Jätkäsaari

Conveniently situated near Metro station and supermarkets, with easy access to West Harbor and Länsisatama. Guests appreciate the cleanliness, spaciousness, and views, but note the need for more comfortable beds.

You can't get better value for money anywhere else! I paid only 165 euros (including taxes) for one night in May and I got an excellent junior suite with a furnished balcony and an own electric sauna in this centrally located hotel. However, the best part of my junior suite was the stunning sea view to the Bay of Lauttasaarensalmi, the Crusell Bridge (read separate Tripadvisor reviews of it) and the Ruoholahti Canal (read separate Tripadvisor reviews of it, too). There was a big window even in the bathroom! There are obvious reasons for cheap prices. This is a small hotel with only 13 rooms and there isn't any staff in the hotel. So there aren't any reception services or breakfast in the hotel. You only get a key code by e-mail or by text message 30-60 minutes before check-in time. It was quite hard to find the main door of the hotel but after that everything worked well. For your notice, the entrance is situated on the street corner of Länsisatamankatu 16 and Martin Wegeliuksen kuja. Lack of breakfast isn't any problem. You find a small shared kitchen and a big shared living room with three microwave ovens, electric kettles and a coffee machine in the hotel. Besides, I had a fridge and a freezer in my room. There are also several cafeterias and restaurants near the hotel. There is also a shared laundry room in the hotel. I stayed in the junior suite alone but it is ok for 2-3 people, too. You find two beds and a single sofa bed chair in the junior suite. You can enjoy self-adjustable air conditioning, a portable air-conditioning machine, a television, a big shower, an electric sauna and a large balcony in the junior suite. The hotel is situated on the 5th floor (or on the 4th floor if the ground floor is 0) and so you can see the panorama of Ruoholahti area. Actually Hiisi Hotel is located at the border of Ruoholahti and Jätkäsaari, on the bank of Ruoholahti Canal, on the side of Jätkäsaari. The hotel is situated within walking distance of the city center (2.5 kilometers from the central railway station and the Esplanade Park). Jätkäsaari is the new residential area of Helsinki. You find beautiful new houses, cozy parks, scenic walking routes and interesting restaurants there. There are still some construction works in Jätkäsaari but the area surrounding the hotel is ready and you won't hear any noise there. I only had two problems in Hiisi Hotel. Windows were quite dirty and they should be cleaned. Secondly I didn't like the smell of the liquid hand soap (actually it was said to be fragrance-free). So you see that I only had minor problems and this hotel is almost perfect if you don't mind the lack of service. However, final cleaning is included in room prices. I really recommend that you should book this junior suite and enjoy the stunning view. Besides, it is wonderful to sit at the balcony and enjoy the architecture of the Crusell Bridge and bright summer nights!
