Hotels near Sisselenpuisto, Helsinki

Very bad booking service and even customer service. I paid the hotel room, but the code was not sent to the hotel room. I called a pay-per-view aspa, telling them that this is because I didn't prove my identity (although there was no place where I could do it) I sent them a picture of the identities that was not enough for them too. The asphatic staff gave me the room number I got in. He called again later because my identity was still unable to verify and was still silent in a pay call for 6 minutes and then closed that call without saying anything. A hour later, the guards come to the door to check the identity, which was done. In total, I was n.25minuuttia in a call with aspan, you would not think it is so difficult to get into the room you paid for.

All the facilities in the hotel were perfect and clean. The location is a bit far from the center, but there were plenty of shopping malls and marts nearby. The private and shared kitchens are well equipped, so it's good to cook.

The hostel is easy to find after you get the bus 600 from outside the airport, which costs 4.10 euros. 30mins journey from airport to hotel via bus. The hostel itself is clean and has friendly female staff who were super nice and provided snacks etc during the football matches each day. You get a free to use locker in the room using the same keycard for entry etc. There is also a 24hour supermarket downstairs, and a nice kebab shop across the street. Overall, decent place to stay if you want to explore Helsinki. The Asian looking male member of staff at reception was disgusting, didn’t wash his hands after going toilet which I saw! Laughed when I told him to wash his hands, reported him to trip and to the hostel too. Really off putting, but other than that, no issues. Breakfast was simple but filling, and the hostel provides free water at reception.

I arrived before check-in and the front desk staff was kind enough to see if any rooms were ready and I even got an upgrade, which included a tv in the room so I could watch the 2024 Euro Cup! The walls were thin and my neighbor was a prolific snorer. As a solo traveler, it’s nice to have a fridge and fridge I can keep my food in when I don’t want to eat out a restaurant alone! The shower water was surprisingly hot and stayed consistent despite the motion activated sensors. The location is quiet and convenient if you’re a prolific walker like myself! (24,000 steps a day) The hostel also has a restaurant attached for a quick breakfast or dinner.

Although the hotel is a bit old, the location is good. The front desk staff was very friendly and helped us take photos. The breakfast buffet is rich in variety and delicious, especially the venison meatballs with cranberry sauce. Will choose to stay here if given the chance.

We had a good stay at Hotel Arthur. The location was pretty convenient for us - it was a 5 minute walk from Helsinki's Central Station for platforms going to/from the airport, tram service was nearby and it was within a 15-20 minute walk of everything we wanted to see in Helsinki. We booked this hotel because it was inexpensive for our stay and it was pretty pleasant.The breakfast was included with our stay and was welcome as well. We booked a twin room with two twin beds. The beds were comfy and we found extra pillows in the closet. We had a really good sleep each night at the hotel because it was very quiet. The room had a couple of chairs including a pretty big cushioned one, a desk and a TV that was mounted high. The room could be a little better with the cleaning of the tv remote and kettle but the beds and bathroom were fine. The hotel is over 100 years old and we felt the hotel showed its age the most in the room because there are some renovations that have been done over the years and it is pretty evident . Our room only had plug-ins at the desk and there was none near the night stand by the beds. The closets were in need of some maintenance because the door tracks were a bit stiff, the floor was peeling and the drywall in the back was loose. The shower used to have sliding doors as evident by the track that wasn't removed but the shower had a curtain that was too short and the floor squeegee was there for a reason because the water went everywhere when I showered. Shower pressure was fine and it was easy to get plenty of hot water. You may want to consider bringing your own bath products because the shower gel was meant for hand soap, body wash and shampoo. The hotel has saunas that you can book upon request. If you book your hotel reservation directly through the hotel you can get a discounted rate of 8 euros per person for the sauna but if you book through another website it is 10 euros per person. There is a nicer sauna that is shown in the pictures of the hotel but it fills up pretty quickly. We got the other sauna and it was ok but was in need of some cleaning because previous guests left their wet towels all over the place instead of in the towel bin located under a bench. We felt it was silly to charge a different rate if you booked through another platform because we wouldn't have heard of this hotel if we didn't use the platform we used! The breakfast was pretty standard and I had a nice English breakfast each day from the buffet. The mushrooms, sausage and hash browns were my favourite but I grew to enjoy the scrambled eggs during my stay because they add something to it that I'm not used to. They also had yoghurt, cereals, cold cut meats, fruit and cheese amongst other standard breakfast staples. They had a juice dispenser, a small selection of tea and black coffee. They also had items that you could pay for at the bar like a cappuccino or chocolate chip muffin. The reception area was pretty good. They had luggage storage and quite a few chairs to sit in. My wife liked their small souvenir shop and got some cute post cards. The staff are very helpful and can provide recommendations for the city. The reception also provide tea and sugar for your room and you can pick up your rations daily. They do not provide regular cleaning for the rooms but you can arrange cleaning or new towels through reception. There are plenty of sights to see nearby as well as cafes, restaurants and shopping malls. The tram is a short walk away and that was very convenient for us as we did a day trip to Tallinn using the ferries to go across the sea. We booked this hotel because it was affordable in a pretty expensive city and we would still recommend it if the pieces are fair. It was a good place to sleep and unwind after each day we spent exploring the area.

Having arrived early on an overnight flight, I went to the hotel at 9am and was told that I would receive a message when the room was ready. Having heard nothing I returned at midday to be told that my room was ready but I had to pay 20 Euros extra to check into it prior to 2pm. When I finally got the key, I got no clear directions on how to find my room and it took me 15 minutes to get there dragging around my heavy bag with no staff assistance. - Not even room cleaning staff that I met while trying to navigate the maze of corridors and various lifts that serviced only specific levels were able to tell me where the room was. Similarly when I checked out, I found a more direct route by dragging my bag over the cobblestone courtyard, only to be locked out on the otherside. The steps at the front of the hotel were also challenging with a suitcase.

This time I stayed in Helsinki for two nights and took a trip to Kuopio (a city in northeastern Finland). It is very convenient to live here. It is next to the train station and a relatively large shopping mall. It is very convenient to go to the city and the airport. , the distance is not very far.
