The hotel is a bit dated but was spotlessly clean. It's conveniently located about a 10-minute walk from the ferry terminal. Nearby attractions such as Senate Square, the Synagogue, and the historic market are all within a 10-15 minute stroll.
Our room had a comfortable bed, and we appreciated the complimentary sauna. The breakfast was outstanding – very generous and delicious, highly recommended.
A minor point for improvement was the check-in process: Upon arriving around 11:30 AM, we were informed that our room was ready, but only if we paid an extra €20 for early check-in. Otherwise, it would be available at 1 PM as part of our standard booking. Also, in July, the air conditioning in our attic room struggled to keep the room cool.
Nice hotel and great breakfast BUT I was staying there as my mum was in hospital with an undetermined leave date, so had to book again when she was not allowed to leave. Even though I booked again the same day I checked out, they would not let me into the room until 1pm (unless I paid an early fee) despite the person behind the desk knowing my situation. So for me poor customer experience and not an understanding company considering how many customers must be there for same reason.
The room environment is clean and tidy, the hotel is strategically located, the transportation is convenient, it is very suitable for business travel and living, the overall feeling is very satisfactory, and I will choose if I have the opportunity in the future.
Stayed at Scandic Helsinki Aviapolis, a convenient airport hotel near Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. Overall, it was a good stay, ideal for transit travelers and short visits.
The hotel is just a few minutes from the airport, with a free shuttle service running every 20–30 minutes. It is also within walking distance of Aviapolis train station (about 15 minutes), making it easy to reach Helsinki city center. A major plus is the Jumbo Shopping Mall nearby, offering a variety of restaurants, shops, and a grocery store—perfect for those needing last-minute essentials or an alternative dining option.
The room was clean, modern, and functional, featuring comfortable bedding, a work desk, and a well-maintained bathroom with a walk-in shower and essential toiletries.
The breakfast buffet starts at 6 AM, offering a great selection of fresh bread, cold cuts, hot dishes, and Finnish specialties. For those with super early flights, a light breakfast is available from 4 AM.
Due to time constraints - I briefly checked out the gym and sauna in the basement which appeared well-maintained.
The staff was friendly and efficient, making check-in and check-out smooth. The overall atmosphere is modern and practical, making it a great choice for travelers catching an early flight or needing a short, comfortable stay near the airport.
The hotel has convenient transportation, rich breakfast, comfortable environment, clean hotel rooms, recommended tourists to stay, it is recommended to buy a car and train ticket, Metro subway station, full-time appointment EUR10, you can take the train from the Central Railway Station to the airport, the journey is about 35 minutes, fast and convenient. (If you go to the airport by train for 5 yuan, it costs more than 3 yuan per tram, so buy day pass 10 yuan, arrive). There is K - supermaket, downstairs in the hotel.
Opposite the train station, take the 3-way tram 7 stops to reach the hotel. Although it is a bit far from the city center, the surrounding traffic is very convenient. Buy a day traffic card and basically finish the main attractions. The key hotel is good value for money, breakfast is very rich, room Quiet, very satisfied.
The hotel recommended by the customer, the hotel is very large, it is a relatively large chain hotel in Finland, the snow was very big that night, it was very late to the hotel, the staff was very warm. Breakfast is quite satisfactory, typical continental breakfast.

Kkaisa kantoA basic hotel in an ok location. Really nice employees at the reception. Great views from the sauna upstairs, but otherwise impractical facilities in the sauna/shower section. You had to leave your shoes in the hallway if you didn't want your socks to get wet when you went to the ”changing room”, and when you put your shoes on it would be good to have a chair to sit on. Only three showers available, so you had to queue to get in the shower. A hotel popular with families with children, so the swimming pool was noisy and full of splashes. Similarly, there was always someone coming in through the door slowly with a group of children at the sauna, so the steam baths were missed. Nice that fresh croissants were served to the tables at breakfast.
The bar waiter had his own strong opinions about what is good beer and what is not. I have understood that the first lesson of a customer service person is that the customer is always right. I got the feeling that I don't understand anything about good beer when I said what I like. I didn't feel good about that encounter.
LLinxianshengbeijingThis hotel is conveniently located near the central train station in the city center, with a large shopping street nearby. The rooms are spacious and clean, equipped with a kettle and a refrigerator. Rated as a luxury hotel, a standard room costs about 1100 RMB per night without breakfast. Considering the high prices in the Nordics, this is quite affordable. It's a good option for those traveling to Helsinki.

RRenjianfuguihuahuaChoosing 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.
LLópezEduardoVery good hotel if you need a place close to the airport. It’s primarily a business hotel but it also has some leisure facilities such as sauna and indoor pool. Rooms are spacious and very very clean. It also has a restaurant and a bar with drinks and snacks and free shuttle service from and to the airport.
