Lovely hotel in a great location, about a 12-minute walk from the central train station. The room was quiet, comfortable, and clean, with a nice shower. It even had a balcony! The breakfast buffet was one of the best I’ve had - lots of options, all freshly-prepared and high-quality, with attentive staff. The front desk staff as well were friendly and accommodating. My understanding is that this is a locally-owned hotel, not part of a big chain, and I was happy to support a local, authentic Finnish business.

I really enjoyed my stay at Hotel Helka. The hotel is comfortable and thoughtfully designed, so it felt a bit like having a home in Helsinki. The location is great — right across from the Helsinki Art Museum and just a short walk to the lively Kamppi area. The room had everything I needed, and the staff were kind and welcoming. It all gave me a very relaxed and easy feeling during my trip.

Comfortable and clean. Great sauna. Good linen. Excellent breakfast. Close to public transport and city sights. Staff super friendly and helpful.

Conveniently located hotel in Helsinki
The hotel is in a strategic location, just a few minutes’ walk from both the central station and the city center. The port is also easily reachable with a 10–15 minute walk.
Rooms are clean, well-organized, and spacious enough to comfortably accommodate three people. They’re equipped with everything needed for a short stay.
The breakfast is excellent — rich and varied, with both sweet and savory options.
Overall, a great choice for anyone looking to visit Helsinki in a practical and comfortable way.

The hotel may look a little rundown on the outside but it is much nicer on the inside. The staff were very nice and helped when we needed advice. We even had some great conversations with them. The room was exactly what we needed, two beds to sleep in and a bathroom. The only downside is the shower is on the same tile as the rest of the bathroom, so bathroom floor gets wet . The included buffet breakfast was amazing, lots of choices and delicious food. The hotel was about 10-15 minutes walk from a mall with some coffee shops, it was a bit farther for good restaurants. It was also near tram and bus lines.

I'd seen this hotel on Instagram and wanted to visit.
It appeared just as it did in the photos.
You can walk to it from Central Station, but it's better to take the tram.
It was extremely accessible to everywhere you wanted to go.
The interior was also super cute, with lots of lovely furniture.
Wherever you take a photo it looks stylish.
I was looking forward to breakfast, too, but it was a vegan-like meal, which was a little disappointing.
More than that, it was a lovely space, so I'm glad I went.

Sleep comfortably
Delicious breakfast
Good location
There is also a sauna
Worth recommending!
03.01.2025
The price is reasonable, the room is clean, and the breakfast has a rich selection of food. It is suitable for students. But it is quite far from the train station, and it might be very embarrassing to carry luggage when it snows.

Great sauna - except early in the morning when it isn't hot yet.

Great location near main train station.

Lovely, clean and simple rooms. Pleasant service.

Amazing breakfast, international with a few local specialties.

No restaurant active at this time

The building is very old, the rooms are small, but it's the city center and not very expansive. Also the breakfast is good.
