Top hotels in Etelainen District
Scandic Grand Central Helsinki
"great breakfast buffet. Sauna could get a bit crowded. Cleaning was light touch but no issues and this is the policy anyway. the room was clean and had the right space for 2 people. The hotel is huge and you certainly need to step it up to get to the lifts."
