Hotel St. George Helsinki

For context we are a couple in our early 30’s, without children fyi.

We stayed for the marathon, it was the perfect distance from the start line and location for city centre. We wanted something that we could have a lovely stay and celebrate the our achievement and this hotel did that.

The spa facilities are lovely, very clean and calming. Massages were brilliant.

Food - breakfast was great, huge variety and a decent mixture of cultures, very fresh and tasty. You can also order and early breakfast which was perfect for us due to early start time with the marathon + early check out.
I would have loved slightly more variety on the room service menu.
They have a bakery on site and a restaurant that looks lovely but we didn’t make it there.

Service - very strong, friends staff across the team, especially at breakfast, it was faultless. If I’m being picky, I would have thought they would offer a turn down service as standard.

Overall - brilliant stay and worth the money.

Great location, service, and beautiful bar. I wouldn’t have changed a thing it, very well situated, walkable, in a cute area. Very niche thing, but really appreciated the GHD hairdryer - I’ve never experienced a hotel having the same high end hair dryer I have at home!

Truly one of the best hotels in Europe, I absolutely loved my recent stay at Hotel St George and am already thinking about when I’ll be back.

For those looking for a hotel that hits on every aspect, this is the one:

- Location: couldn’t be more ideal as you are a quick walk to major sites, the train station, or tram spots to venture further

- Service: impeccable, the staff treated us very well in fact any time we called the front desk to request something they were at our instantly

- Ambiance: this is definitely one of the hotels that really cares about its culture and presentation. The various art pieces from renowned artists are incredible and the common areas are stunning.

- Food: do not skip breakfast or the bakery. The team here makes everything fresh in house and it was the best hotel breakfast I’ve had by far. The smoked salmon here was my favorite in the world

- Spa: honestly my favorite sauna and spa throughout all the nordics as it’s quiet and so peaceful

- Marriott status: this is a design hotel so not all benefits are honored but we could a handwritten note from the manager and a discount on breakfast for my Titanium status which is well appreciated

I cannot recommend this hotel enough and wish I could keep it a secret. Thanks for a great stay!

We have stayed at the Saint George for a few years in a row now, and every time we are highly impressed. The customer service is top notch, the rooms are tastefully decorated and the location is fantastic.

I’d like to give a personal shout out to Pauli, he has remembered me upon every visit, and his customer service/personability is second to none. I hope to see him every time I visit Helsinki!

Perfect perfect perfect, if you’re able to stay here you should. The hotel is beautifully designed with lots of amazing art. The bakery and bar are gorgeous and well priced.

The room is spacious enough to place your luggage on the group and lots of closet space for slightly longer stay. The bathroom is huge - so huge, that if you needed to take a business call and not interrupt the sleep of your friend/partner, you can easy move into the bathroom for your call. Which I obviously did.

The shower and amenities in the room are great. Even provided a soda stream if you’re one with a preference for sparkling water.

Our highlight of the stay is in the spa. Simply gorgeous. It’s has a beautiful pink steam room and a tradition wood sauna with fancy high tech water dispenser (that’s what those buttons are for). I suggest going first in the morning or right before closing to avoid the crowd.

Only downside, is the WiFi is not great.

Our room was great, had everything we needed, except a view. The room had a very small window in the corner making the room in itself a bit dark / gloomy. Bed was great, and the space as well, on top of good bathropes. Shoes they could not find that could fit a 46 / 11 size.

The service on the other hand was perfect and everyone was nice and quick.

We booked a suite but didn’t realize how tiny it is until we checked in… It’s cutely decorated but there is no space for placing luggage. They added a roller bed right outside of the bathroom that the door cannot be opened fully and the bathroom door lock was so loud that every time we close the door we had to be careful not to wake up the kid. So awkward…
The service was quick that whenever we requested something it was delivered within 15 minutes.
The breakfast buffet was the best part of our stay. But the dinner of the Thai food at the same location (but different company running Thai food) was so so. Food was not very good at the bakery. Location is great that it’s walkable to most attractions.

Location is fantastic
Very clean rooms and facilities.
Staff are friendly.
Service is average
Breakfast is average as there is no much variety available, though waiters are excellent.
Prices are in the high side.
They are partner with Marriott hotels group, the Bonvoy.
Likely because this hotel is always busy you will not be able to get late check out.
You better get your own water bottles if you don’t want to drink from the water taps .
