Scandic Hotels in Helsinki

We had a great few nights stay at Scandic Grand Central. The check-in process was smooth- The hotel even provided an online check-in option that would also notify us when our room is ready so that we can check in earlier. The room was a little smaller than we imagined but nevertheless well-equipped. The breakfast buffet is a MUST- There's a wide variety of food and they are all scrumptious. The staff was warm and accommodating- Big thumbs up to the cleaning staff who greeted us everyday without fail with the biggest smile on their faces. The location is also fantastic-Its very central so all the tourist attractions and transport is within walking distance.

Walking distance from the Helsinki Central Station, but if you are coming with a big luggage, it is advisable to take the Tram No. 3 or 6 from Rautatieasema Tram Station and get down at Fredriksgatan, walk 3 mins to the hotel. The hotel is clean, decent room space and I enjoy my breakfast. Walking distance to nearby shopping malls and convenient store. Highly recommended!

It was tired for the long train to Helsinki , and the weather is super cold that night. We needed some hot water and we requested kettle from the reception. We were very surprised and felt warm when received kettle with hot chocolate. Perfect customer service. Thank you 🫰

Hotel is lovely and the room is spacious and very clean. It’s very close to Helsinki city centre, about 15 minutes and just across the river. Buffet breakfast is delicious and fresh with plenty of options. All the staff are very friendly and helpful and in particular, the lovely lady in the kitchen is always smiling, warm, cheerful and greets everyone good morning on arrival for breakfast. It really makes a difference to the start of the day. If you don’t have a lot of luggage and arrive by train from the airport, this hotel is a short 15 minutes from from Helsinki Central station. Otherwise there is a train stop underground just a little to the left of the hotel and tram stop right in front of the hotel which is currently under renovations.

We booked 3 room for one night when we transit from Helsinki to rova, the location is good - surrounded by many shopping mall. Stockmann is just opposite the hotel and train station is behind. The room is just normal hotel room so don’t set too high expectation on the room. Walking distance to most of the tourist spot.

Hotel looks old but room is okay, couple of reviews mentioned bathroom is small but we found it alright. Breakfast is nice, offers quite a wide spread of variety. CS at recep can be better though. We booked an extra night and left a message to inform the hotel in advance but our room was still released as 'no-show'; when we nicely requested for early check in, staff told us 'fully booked, come back at 4pm to try again'. Friendly staff from restaurant/cafe/housekeeping.

Good location which is very near to the main railway station. Walk out of the station and you can see the hotel on your right. Look for the lockers in the rail station and you are on the correct way to the hotel. The hotel has luggage storage which is very useful. When your next travelling time is in the evening. Take the tram no.3 and then no. 2 to move around the city.

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.

房間很大，有簡單的廚房可以自己買點東西做着吃，方便不想在外面吃的遊客。要是痛風環境在好些就完美了。

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.
