Marski by Scandic

Very good hotel in centrer of Helsinki, 4 minutes walk to central station. Rooms spacious and brand new. Various food were provided during breakfast. Lots of vegan and sustainable foods

Interesting place clearly updated but only to a point. I don't understand why (other than cost) why hotels, especially tourist hotels, have only one baggage holder when there's generally 2 people in a room. The lobby desk is periodically overwhelmed so they will not answer the phone. Mostly understandable. Breakfast is a free for all but I think it speaks more to the clientele than the hotel. People stay way too long at the tables when they are done causing a standing backlog. Also because clearing the tables is difficult it's hard to tell who's gone or not. Staff is helpful, great recommendations. So I think the hotel is fine but to me it's one star too many. The mini bar in the room is bare bones. I'd stay again but my expectations of the chain is that likely all of the properties are one star too high.

We stayed in a room on the -1 floor, which was neat and clean. The front desk staff were friendly and professional, and the breakfast buffet was a delightful bonus.

However, the shower drainage could use some maintenance.

Overall, it was a positive hotel experience.

One of the best places I have stayed in Europe! Worth all the hype. I am a very light sleeper and I got full 7 hrs of good sleep, the room was clean and stylish. The breakfast was fantastic! Will definitely come stay longer!

We loved everything from the location, service, and the rooms. One of the best Scandic hotels we stayed in during our Scandinavia trip. The staff and rooms are fantastic, and the little touches and gestures made the trip great. And, of course, one of the best breakfast buffets (if I have to compare the other 4 Scandic hotels we stayed in). I would love to come back.

The best choice if you want to stay in the heart of Helsinki. The breakfast buffet is fantastic with a plethora of choices (gluten free and vegan as well).
Mrs Katerina Tsimidaki, the sous chef was incredible at the breakfast buffet, very kind and welcoming!
The rooms are very spacious and spotless. Big bonus the shower head! Overall, is great for a short stay in Helsinki!

What we liked:
- breakfast until noon on the weekend that’s just amazing really
- great selection of food on breakfast
- view from the room
- good location

What we didn’t like:
- not the best Scandic breakfast experience
- the room was dusty and not really clean
- the fact that you must call to the reception if you want your room being properly cleaned (go find this tiny piece of paper where they talk about it). And no, caring about the nature won’t make up for the fact that the room is not cleaned properly.
- VERY loud ventilation along with vibration wasn’t a pleasant experience.
- loud noise from outside even with closed windows and ventilation doors

It’s definitely a good scandic hotel experience. Though it has plenty of room to become better

This is bang in the centre of Helsinki and you can walk to most places from here. We had a windowless room, which was functional but you lose sense of time since there's no daylight.

The hotel let us drop off our luggage since we arrived before check-in time. They said we could return at 1pm to check-in even though the official time was later.

Lovely staff - from the receptionists to the doorman.
