“Too budget for my liking”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I arrived after 15 hours of traveling to be told that they didn't have a room available for me even though one had been booked months in advance. Had to wait or quite a while until one was available. When one was available it was one of the smallest rooms I've ever stayed in. It was cold as well even with the heating apparently cranked up. I couldn't open the curtains because there was a building directly outside with numerous people being able to look right in. As far as I could see there was no room service. I think it was about E160 a night, not sure if that is considered cheap but I would definitely not stay here again, would rather pay more and stay in a real hotel. I suppose the location is pretty good, that is one positive thing.

Room Tip: Do yourself a favour, spend a bit more and stay in a better hotel unless you are a backpacker.

“Not too bad at all”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 December 2011

person found this review helpful

We spend a weekend in Helsinki last this winter. The weather was not too winter-like, no snow, only rain... But the rain didn't spoil our weekend, we had great time in Helsinki. We ate good, slept well and visited theater.

This hotel is located neatly close to stations and not too far from the activities either. Actually we selected this hotel because of location.

Rooms are nice, not the biggest. We got good sleep both nights and the breakfast was really nice.

“Automated Hotel w/ Few Amenities”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 December 2011

person found this review helpful

My wife and I stayed at the Sokos for one night. We arrived at the hotel just before 4pm and requested an early check-in, but quickly learned that this was impossible as the hotel is apparently managed by robots and not empathetic humans (the hotel is almost entirely automated).

Although the light in the bathroom was out and the hair dryer was not working, the hotel was fairly comfortable and clean.

If I were to return to Helsinki, I would spend slightly more and stay in a hotel that has humans on-site.

“Very nice hotel!”

person found this review helpful

The location of this hotel is very good: in the middle of Helsinki commercial center, next to the train and bus station and just a few minutes walking from the major touristic attractions. We stayed there only one night and it was very nice. The room is a little bit tight but it is very comfortable and has a clean decoration. The bathroom is very nice. The internet in the room is free and there are some computers in the lounge area were you can also access internet without charge. We didn't have the breakfast there since we had to go very early to the airport by bus. We recommend this hotel!
