Located just a minute walk from the main Helsinki Station, a nice hotel with good service minded staffs, their English are perfect! 
The transportation is easy due to connection to train, tram, bus, and even inter cities bus at Kamppi bus terminal.

The hotel is in a very central position. Breakfast on the terrace is very nice with lots of choice. We were grateful for the early check in. The lovely woman on the check in desk made us feel very welcome she was a delight. Would recommend

I had a wonderful stay at the Sokos Hotel Vaakuna Helsinki! The staff at the front desk were incredibly friendly and welcoming, going out of their way to make my visit enjoyable. Their helpful recommendations and warm smiles made a great first impression.

The location is unbeatable—right across from the main train station, making it super convenient for getting around Helsinki and beyond. I loved being able to step outside and have easy access to public transportation, shops, and restaurants.

The breakfast was fantastic with a wide variety of delicious options to start the day off right. It’s clear that they put a lot of thought into offering something for everyone, and the quality was excellent.

The combination of excellent service, a prime location, and a great breakfast made my stay truly memorable. Highly recommend!

Excellent service from Jenna, she was very helpful and quick to help us to sort the rooms once we have issues.

Sokos is my goto whenever in Helsinki. You cannot be any more central relative to what you need in the city. The staff are exceptionally helpful and welcoming. The hotel itself is a time capsule of style I hope is never updated to the generic bland vanilla interiors most hotels feel obliged to become. The breakfast is a standout. Cannot recommend highly enough.

The view is spectacular, the room is spacious and the location is convenient
27.11.2024
Location is the best ! Probably the most walkable hotel I’ve ever stayed in- Finnish and American stores within steps. Mc Donald’s too ! Great variety of breakfast buffet included. Our room has a view of the city.
