Comfort Hotel Helsinki Airport
Very clean and very convenient for the airport and the city centre! There is no on site restaurant for dinner and they suggest you go to clarion next door but the food court at the area is 3 minutes walk with a good choice of casual dining.

VALO Hotel & Work Helsinki
was a bit disappointed. Good WiFi. Small room. Got overcharged multiple times by the staff at the bar. Ordered the same thing and it was charged multiple dollars higher everytime. $12 for a shot of vodka is legit robbery ! Next day. I got a drink at the bar around 1:45pm as well as two other people ...
