The hotel is around 30 minutes taxi ride away from Helsinki airport, very close to the major tourist attractions in this charming city. Check-in was done professionally, quick and very friendly. The rooms - I was booked into a standard room on the fourth floor, canal view (you shoukd always ask for canal view) - are spacious, practical and clean, Wlan is free. It is a typical Hilton: at first glance everything is fine, though a bit outdated but once you start looking a bit closer the need for an overhaul becomes obvious. The hotel as such does not have any specific style or character but resembles a practical beehive. Breakfeast is basic but ok, dining is much better though the restaurant staff is not the quickest.
