Scandic Kallio

The location is good, especially if you are coming to the exposition center. It has good connection to the city or anywhere you need to be as well. The beds were comfortable, the breakfast was good, the staff helpful and friendly, and there's a small "shop" next to the reception for coffee, snacks and basic toiletries.

The doors close really heavily and most of the people just let them slam, so it's a bit noisy, especially in the morning. Also the tram is right under the windows, so it might be annoying in the lower floors. Could hear it on the 7th floor, but was not too loud. In general, the hotel is not that new, so you can see the signs of wear and tear. Would probably pay for location or if most hotels are sold out, but not worth if you're expecting super cool looking place.

The hotel is easy to access with the bus from airport and major tram lines to city center run just across the street. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable, they have nice thick curtains for the nights when the sun forgets to set :) It was my first visit to Finland and the people at the reception desk were very friendly and helped me a lot with advice on transport and finding things around the neighborhood. The breakfast was also great!

Room was basic quiet and clean, though some noice came for the enxt room occasionally. Breakfast was great. It had filling options also for vegetarian and vegan diet. Sauna was also very good. Fairly small but properly hot.

Though the room was clean, some places were bit dusty, like boxes reserved were your clothes in Sauna. Towel chancing service was bit too effective, as they were changed everyday, even when placed so that it's not supposed to be done.

Superb breakfast buffet with wide range of food. Pretty comfortable room. Round the corner from a tram stop with easy access to central Helsinki. A few interesting places to eat within walking distance. I guess it was reasonable value for a Nordic country.

A bit out of the city centre (but I guess I knew that when I booked). Slightly more costly than I'd usually want to pay (but again, it was a capital city in a Nordic country). Slightly unprepossessing decor.

Although from the outside the building does not look very appealing, inside it is very nicely furnished, and has well equipped, proper and clean rooms. Walls provided for good isolation. Very delicious and big breakfast in the form of buffet. Very nice and helpful staff.

Don't get discouraged by the fact that it's not located in the strict city centre. The tram stop is at the doorstep and it will take you to the city centre within minutes.

Our room was clean and spacious. The hotel was situated close to transport facilities, tram, bus etc. The staff were very friendly. We paid for breakfast and that was varied and delicious - hot and cold options. I would recommend the Scandic Kallio wishing to visit Helsinki 😊

I cannot think of any negative.

A great tasty breakfast; The cosy, clean room with an interesting design and interior; Fast internet in the room (it is also possible to sit at table and work after the checkout in the common lobby Friendly staff

Price - a bit pricey per night Location - it is far away from the central part of the city with lots of restaurants. if you want to eat, there is only the burger restaurant in the nearest field of the hotel; Weak water pressure from the shower head.

Breakfast was excellent, location was very convenient with the trams close by, was a quiet area. Playground for kids is very close by.

Not a lot of food options very close by, but plenty within walking distance.

Hotel is very close to the Linnanmaki which makes it excellent place to stay if you are interested in this attraction. Hotel has its own garage where guests can reserve parking spot. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Hotel was really well prepared for children, we had family room with folding sofa bed and children's bed was also ready. Breakfast was very good. Price to quality ratio of this hotel turns out very good. In the neighborhood there are several restaurants that are open long hours.

The hotel looks way better after you step in the doors. Breakfast was lovely and sufficient. I liked the wide vegan variety. The bed and pillows were great.

The room was very small. We only stayed one night, but I would select something larger for the same price if I visited Helsinki again.
