2-Star Hotels in Uusimaa, Finland

It takes about 30 minutes by train to reach Helsinki Central Station, but I didn’t find it inconvenient at all. There’s a well-stocked 24-hour supermarket right next to the hotel, which was incredibly convenient. The shared kitchen was well-equipped and easy to use even during dinner time. Everything was clean and well-maintained, the reception staff were kind, and the other guests were all friendly.

Nordic style, location is also good, very close to the train station, two stops from the airport

What made us happiest was the great location. It takes 30 minutes by train from the airport to Helsinki Central Station, and it's in the city center, less than a 10-minute walk from Helsinki Central Station. You won't have any trouble going out to eat or shopping! If I had to point out one thing that bothered me, it would be that the room was quite dry, so I think it would be beneficial for future guests if a humidifier was installed.

Arrived late at night but there was a polite explanation about late check-in so there was no problem! The room is warm and the street is relatively quiet. It is in a good location with access from the subway station and bus stop.

Senate Hotel, although basic, is situated well for local attractions - 10 minutes walk from the shops/ restaurants/nightlife of Helsinki city centre; 15 minutes walk from the harbour, if you arrive by ferry; and right next to Senate Square/Helsinki Cathedral. The hotel, itself, is based in an apartment building, on the fifth floor, and has ten rooms. There's a five-hour window, in which there's a receptionist to meet you (3-8pm). Outside of this time, you are given a code to enter the main door of the building, and then the front door of the hotel section, which I had to do. As it turned out, a friendly staff member was still there when I arrived, and I was fortunate enough to be given a free room upgrade. The double room I was given, was larger than average, and included a wash basin and small refrigerator. The bathroom and toilets are shared, but clean with a good, strong shower, and separate men's and women's toilets. There's also a small shared kitchen, so you could prepare food. My hotel room had a comfy bed, and good thick enough curtains which, if you're here in the height of Summer, means you won't be woken by the sunrise before 4am! The decor is a bit dated, but if you need info on what to do, where to go, and what's happening in Helsinki, there's lots of information. This is more of a short-stay hotel - a few days, at most, but if you need a well-located, warm, simple place to base yourself while in the city, this is actually a good choice.

The reception are very nice and helpful. The room is clean and comfy. There’s many useful things in the room. Nice location ~ only 200 meters to the bus stop.

It's great here! Everything else is more satisfying than expensive hotels! I live in a female dormitory with 6 beds. The room is well-lit and comfortable! It feels well maintained, the shower room is clean, and the staff is lively, waiting for 24 hours. It is difficult when there is a lot of luggage because there is no elevator!

I was worried about whether I could get into the room, but I was able to contact them using WhatsApp, which I installed in Japan. The room had a refrigerator, a water heater, cups, forks, etc. It was a convenient location.

Peaceful place, no noise from the traffic and otherwise also very quiet. Room had tv, refrigerator and a comfy chair beside the bed. What can I say? For this price I say this a steal. Also breakfast was very good. I fully recommend this at least for solo travelleres like I.
