Top Helsinki City Centre Hotel Reviews

Noli Katajanokka

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is less than a five minute walk from the ferries wheel and the harbour where small boats leave from. My studio room was large with a small kitchen containing everything I needed for my four night stay. My only complaint is that the coffee provided was dreadful but thankfully I was able to purchase good quality coffee nearby. I used the kiosk to check-in and out and didn’t have any conversations with staff during my stay. Extra items like hairdryers, irons etc are all available to access with your keycard from lockers on each floor. I had a drink and appetiser at the bar on the day that I arrived. The two barmen were extremely helpful and put me at my ease. Sometimes it’s not comfortable sitting at the bar, alone in a foreign city, so I appreciated how they communicated with me. However it was closed on Sunday and Monday. The fire alarm went off at 2.30am on the first night. I wasn’t sure what to do and could hear and see no-one leaving their rooms. It seemed to be on for ages and I found it extremely difficult to get back to sleep when it eventually stopped. While I received an email two days later explaining what happened, it didn’t actually give apologise to guests like me who were disrupted. I was surprised by this and found it extremely disappointing. I highly recommend this hotel for the facilities and location."

"Perfect location. Walkable to all things, tram right outside the hotel, room had all you needed - laundry, kitchen, etc. easy arrival check in and check out. Unfortunately, somewhere in the hotel, the fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate for a bit one evening. The kitchen is great but the people there said sometimes people set the fire alarm off when cooking. We did not use the breakfast service bc the location was so close to many places to get coffee and eat. The sushi restaurant inside the hotel was a perfect dinner for when we arrived. Easy and good. The market in the building was also very helpful. We were on the back side of the hotel, the noise was pretty loud with the construction or cleaning in the early hours. Closing the windows made it better. We just came at a time when it was hot. We will stay at a Bob W. again. The concept is perfect for traveling."
