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.

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.

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.

Ok hotel but not more. Very good location. Friendly staff. Very small rooms.
