Hotels in Ruoholahti, Helsinki

The area around the hotel seemed to be more of a business district with many companies, rather than a tourist spot. It's a bit of a distance from the city center, but it's within walking distance to the subway, and only one stop away from Kamppi, the city's central hub. You can enjoy sea views right from your bed; the beautiful scenery from the window was the biggest highlight of our trip and the main reason we kept extending our stay. The only downside was the housekeeping, which was quite disappointing. Even though we extended our stay, a thorough daily cleaning should still be expected, shouldn't it? There were coffee stains on the mugs, dirty spoons weren't replaced, and even urine stains on the toilet seat... Despite these issues, the value for money was still quite high. Helsinki truly stands out as the Nordic capital offering the best value for hotels, and I believe this hotel's excellent value significantly boosted my overall impression of the city.

Choosing a hotel near the train station is a great option for convenient travel. The breakfast was fantastic, and having two connecting rooms was very practical. The hotel staff were also incredibly nice.

The stay was okay, except there was no slippers provided even when i stayed at the junior suite. Also the reception services wasnt great. Some were very helpful (i believe her name was vilma) while others were not. When i was checking out to take a uber to the airport, this lady told me i should not be taking uber outside the hotel and if i wanted to, i should do it away from the hotel. She suggested to take the taxis parked outside. Foolishly i thought at worst, the taxis would cost maybe double of the uber (which was 22euros) to my horror, the bill came out to be 90euros. The taxi driver drove so slowly, i felt i shld be walking, until i gave him a piece of my mind only then did he speed up. I suspect the meter is rigged (jumped 10cent euros every 7-8sec? Either that or the hotel is in cahoots with the taxis outside. DO NOT TAKE TAXIS IN FINLAND! Take uber!

Very comfortable

The hotel is close to the station, and the entrance and front desk are well-appointed. I arrived before check-in, but they were able to store my luggage for me. Lemon water, Oreos, fruit, and other items were available in the lobby. The only amenities provided were shampoo and conditioner, but the room was spacious enough for me to spread out my luggage. There's a sauna and shower on the second floor, so I didn't use the shower in my room. The breakfast was delicious and had a wide selection of items.

Great location, breakfast was good and they offer drinks and snacks in the reception area for everyone throughout the day . We were lucky to get a room upgrade upon arrival, view was lovely and it was the perfect location, 5 minutes walk from the train station and all main attractions were close by .

This amazing hotel is centrally located, very spacious, clean, the lady in the reception gave a room with view, it's amazing to wake up to Helsinki town view for two morning Breakfast was good with good variety of food, I get to try the local delicacy It is centrally located, all the attraction is well within walking distance or tram ride away Will definitely stay again if I get the chance

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
