Reception staff is very friendly and helpful. Location,j ust in front of the central railway station. The rooms are well laid out with good amenities. Breakfast is substantial with plenty of choice. WiFi is not free. No air conditioning in the rooms.

Surprising architecture from 19th century with a great restaurant hall located at the city center just like a museum specially the signs for LIFT or FLOORS which are noted the memories of Second World War.
I was there with some of my colleagues at the middle of November 2011 for 8 nights and I can describe there as a romantic hotel in Helsinki near the all shopping center and accessible to all types of public transportation (Tram, Train, Bus, Metro,….)
The Room was clean and was decorated with some special paintings; though it was narrow it was satisfactory in sound and cold isolation.
The sign and certificate from TRIPADVISOR site was installed in elevator and it emphasis that the Hotel management is respected to customers advises.
The room Heat system was the lack of convenience which wasn’t sufficient for room but it was endurable but the Wi-Fi was weak at rooms.
The breakfast menu and the bar and restaurant were perfect and the all things were good.

Nice rooms. Staff was helpful. Te decor was great. Breakfast buffet had a wide array to choose from. Two clubs located on either side of the hotel for late night things to do. Did end up missing a ring after room service and when checking out was charged for a call but they could not tell me the number called so I could confirm it was the call I made. Overall good experience.

If you want to have a nice atmosphere in a nice hotell in the middle of Helsinki, Finland, visit Hotell Seurahuone. We booked a club room and we really liked it. Althought it was midlle of the traffic etc. the rooms were quiet and beds were excellent for sleeping. It was a short walk to everywhere. Hotell Seurahuone is quite old but not oldfashioned. The rooms were huge! I liked the atmophere in that hotell very much. Bathroom was excellent - with seperate shower and bath. Great! If you are a smoker , there is a nice room for smokers, we even went for a smoke with our bathrobes on, and nobody didn't say that it would be forbidden. it was allowed.
Breakfast was good and enough to start the day - we will definetely visit this hotell when we are going to Helsinki in the near future.
