Seda Netherlands

A comfortable and functional room with nice design. A nice sauna. Good located not far walking from the train station and close to the tram.

Jacqueline Norway

Amazing breakfast, good quality and vast selection, which automatically catered for many different diets and allergies. Also enjoyed the art!

Eeva Finland

Fantastic breakfast with lots of variety! Sauna was small but nice to have. There was some cool artwork in the halls and empty rooms.

Rebecca United States of America

I stayed with my friend in the same room. Everything was good. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is easy to reach from any notable point of the city. Everything mentioned on the hotel's page was available without any complications as promised. The breakfast service was also good enough.

Teoman Estonia

Central location, about 200 m from Kamppi metro station, or a 10-minute walk from Central Railway Station. Excellent breakfast buffet included in the price. Sauna on the sixth floor was greatly appreciated after a day of walking.

Brian United States of America

Hotel Helka is a wonderful art/boutique hotel. We had our own sauna in the room and it was excellent. The bed/bedding was very comfortable (in particular the pillows). The staff was very accommodating and helpful (we had sushi delivered a few hours before our arrival and the receptionist had it stored in a fridge prior to our late night arrival). The breakfast was outstanding and turned us into big fans of lingon- and cloudberries. The breakfast staff paid a lot of attention to details and constant updated the trays/stations. When we visit Helsinki again in the future, we will definitely stay at Hotel Helka!

Kraft United States of America

the location is great about ten min walk to central train station. my room was cozy and decorated so adorable. bed was comfy. I loved the coffee/tea station. Breakfast was a huge buffet!

Lisa United States of America

A unique hotel just off the city center but still very easy to get to from the train station. The breakfast spread was amazing with choices for every dietary choice you could imagine. The art displayed in the hotel, while not my cup of tea, was unique and added a little bit of zest to the property. The room was cozy for 2 people but still had a place to store everything out of the way. We did have to separate the twin beds to allow room between them but there was room to do that. The bathroom was well-supplied and roomie and the in-room coffee/tea selection was very nice after a day of exploration.

B-starunner United States of America

The staff was very friendly, the breakfast had many different options of food, the location was central, but in a calmer area.
