Solo Sokos Hotel Helsinki

Stay here when in Helsinki. Rooms are descent and huge. Breakfast buffet has more options and delicious.

Just 5-10 minutes walk from Hensinki Central Railway station.

Most of all the staff are great! They are helpful and offerred excellent service to all their guests.

Highly recommended hotel!

The hotel has a great location. It is located in the central part of the city. the reception team is very responsive and smiling. The breakfast is very varied and delicious. I recommend the croissants which are unique. I didn't get to use the sauna, but that will be next time. 🇫🇮

Come for the location, stay for the breakfast!!

I just had a wonderful stay at this mid priced hotel right in the center of all the action in Helsinki. I got a small twin room which had a decent sized bed (bigger than an American twin) and had everything I needed. In room coffee and tea. A small mini bar fridge (with enough room for me to stash a full pizza in) and private shower bath.

The service was great. Everybody speaks perfect English in Helsinki it seems. There’s a great sidewalk restaurant and more intimate lobby seating as well.

It’s on a super cool pedestrian friendly street where there are TONS of restaurants and shops. The train from the airport lets you off about a ten minute walk away.

But my god!! The star of the show is the daily buffet breakfast. Great choice of hot foods, pastries, cold cuts and cheeses and delicious coffee. I got there right when it opened since my internal clock was screwed up and there was no line or waiting.

The only thing some might find not great about this hotel is the partying in the streets down below until 2am. But you can tell the hotel has tried to mitigate this by adding an extra thick window to the existing ones. Honestly I’m a light sleeper and I never had to reach for the ear plugs.

Hint. Go to a very cool bar around the corner called Bardem. Incredible drinks and though it looks fancy it’s super casual.

Also if you go the other way turning right out of the hotel there’s another bar maybe 8 stores down that made incredible pizza for cheap if you order before 6p.

Recap. Great, clean, warm and smartly furnished hotel with great breakfast. There’s even air conditioning which I actually needed.

Seriously though, I was bummed because I had an early flight the last day and had to miss it that breakfast.

I will come back!!

I stayed there for two nights, the location is ideal for exploring the city. The rooms facing the backyard are wonderfully quiet, but the windows cannot be opened. The staff are exceptionally friendly. The breakfast buffet is marvellous. The rooms in the "normal" category are not very large, but the bed is great and everything is clean.

Room exceeded my expectations. Nice bathroom products. Comfortable bed. Easter eggs were a lovely surprise.
Good breakfast but funny that some breakfast items would cost extra like an avocado sandwich.

My stay at Solo Sokos Hotel was fantastic! The rooms were modern and comfortable, and the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. They even assisted with luggage storage during early check-in and late checkout. The Finnish breakfast provided was delightful, and the hotel's location near the city center was very convenient for exploring. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would highly recommend Solo Sokos to anyone looking for a top-notch stay near the city center!

Lovely hotel in the city center of Helsinki. Super friendly staff, beautiful and quiet rooms. Bathrooms have a good hairdryer (finally a hotel with a powerful and pro hairdryer (key for women with long hair) and good mirrors!). Breakfast was amazing, plenty of options for everyone! Great stay!

This hotel is great value for money definitely better than the hotel we stayed at in Paris! Buffet breakfast was THE BEST we've had with huge variety of hot & cold foods. Staff were very welcoming and friendly which makes the difference! Easy check in and check out. Very central location, everything is within walking distance. What you see online is exactly what you get.
Highly recommend Solo Soko Helsinki. Thank you for an enjoyable stay. We definitely would return! 🙂

I've enjoyed a peaceful night at the hotel, comfortable bed with a lovely pile of pillows. There's kettle and tea, coffee, hot chocolate, iron with ironing board. The bathroom had everything needed, soap, lotion, shampoo and conditioner if you need one. A diffuser came with a hair dryer. Wide staircase - i always use stairs, so this is an important aspect for me.

Been to the Solo Sokos several times now.

Cannot recommend this hotel enough, everything about it is just what you need,.

Checkin is nice and easy, even for a foreigner. Staff are very polite, the rooms are great. The bed is lovely and comfortable.
The bar is open till late and the breakfast is really varied.
