Located right next to Vantaa Airport, it's easily walkable. Finding the hotel from the airport was straightforward thanks to clear signage. The breakfast was standard but perfectly adequate. Our room was spacious and came well-equipped with amenities, including a kettle and coffee. An excellent choice for a layover or transit.

I recently stayed at Valo Hotel and was thoroughly impressed with the experience. The hotel strikes a perfect balance between modern design and cozy comfort. The rooms were impeccably clean, well-designed, and equipped with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. I particularly loved the smart layout, which maximized the space without compromising comfort.
The staff were friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist with any queries or special requests. The location was also a big plus—conveniently situated close to key attractions, public transport, and great dining options.
One standout feature was the wellness area. The sauna and fitness facilities were top-notch, offering the perfect way to unwind after a long day. The breakfast buffet was equally impressive, with a wide variety of fresh and delicious options catering to different tastes and dietary preferences.
Overall, Valo Hotel provided an excellent stay that exceeded my expectations. Whether you're traveling for business or leisure, I highly recommend it for its quality service, comfortable ambiance, and great amenities. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!
The hotel is very good and the environment is very good, but the hotel is a bit old. The sea view room has a very beautiful view, but I forgot to book breakfast. Breakfast is 30 euros per person, which is a bit expensive!
Very clean and tidy hotel, very close to Aalto University, it is a serviced apartment, there is a supermarket downstairs, the requirements reserved when booking the room were arranged very satisfactory, there are also entertainment venues on the first floor, billiards, sauna, public kitchen, public meeting room, gym, very convenient and safe, opposite is the supermarket, buying food is also very convenient, the hotel is very cost-effective, next time I will choose here

The hotel's location is excellent, right across from the STOCKMANN department store. There's a tram stop directly in front of the hotel, offering a one-stop ride to the central train station or a few stops to the cruise terminal. The hotel has its own bar and restaurant, but unfortunately, it's closed on Sundays. Be aware that some basement rooms have no windows, and some rooms are located in a back building, requiring a transfer elevator and a bit of a walk down the hallway – so make sure to ask for clarification. During my two-day stay, I encountered several guests who couldn't find their rooms. The hotel's facilities, cleanliness, and room layout are all good. A great bonus for East Asian travelers is the in-room kettle and a variety of tea and coffee options. The breakfast is rich and offers many choices, perfect for those who enjoy Western cuisine. Taking a ride in the small, ninety-year-old elevator is quite an experience, haha!
The breakfast was amazing! In the restaurant I was sad to see they only had one server in the restaurant she seemed to be working very hard but it took a long time to get our bill. I’d like to see them utilise the outdoor area more because it’s very nice. The front desk were very attentive
Overall very satisfied, very new, clean, convenient and quiet. The two major churches of the main attractions are within 5 minutes walk, and there are 5 minutes from the pier. It is estimated that it will take 10 minutes to walk from the Central Railway Station. It is very convenient! I like his sauna the most, it is really good! The smoked salmon for breakfast is a bit salty, but it is packed with lettuce and sour cucumber. It is very suitable. The dining environment is very good. It is close to the beach. Helsinki at the end of April still needs to wear down jackets.
The hot springs are quite large in Finland. It ends at 21 o'clock. You must remember to go early. We only checked in at 20:30 and couldn't make a good soak.
The hotel is very big and beautiful like a park, and there is a 60s labor at the door.
Very good accommodation, clean and well-equipped rooms, just a few stops from Helsinki, 2.95 euro train tickets, round trip very quickly. There are three large supermarkets not far away. You can cook in the room.
HheidiOverall, my recent stay with Bob W was disappointing.
I booked the 4-person penthouse room primarily for the use of the sauna on my last day of the trip.
Firstly, pin code provided was only valid for door access to the stairs, not door to the elevator side at night. This became a significant inconvenience, especially for a female traveler like myself who arrived at night after a tiring flight. Having to carry a 20kg luggage and a 10kg carry-on up five flights of stairs was both physically demanding and frustrating. Clear arrangements on how to access the elevator at night should have been considered for guest.
Secondly, check-in process was not clearly communicated, causing panic upon arrival. Unfortunately, I had to seek help from customer service on a third-party booking site and reach out via email to obtain a check-in link, which added unnecessary stress and confusion.
Furthermore, instruction for turning on the sauna were unclear, and I was unable to enjoy it until the next morning at 8am, just few hours before my checkout time. I had specifically chosen the penthouse room with the sauna for a relaxing and enjoyable experience. due to the lack of clear instructions, and had to seek assistance to figure out how to operate it properly, which ate into the limited time I had available to enjoy the amenity.
In conclusion, my stay with Bob W fell short of my expectations. The limited time to enjoy the amenities, issues during the check-in process and accessing the elevator, made for a less than satisfactory experience. I hope that Bob W seriously takes feedback into consideration and makes the necessary improvements to ensure a more enjoyable stay for travelers in the future. Thank you
11822178****The free buffet breakfast is a great perk, and the ambiance is lovely! Definitely recommend. It offers excellent value for money, and luggage storage is available, which is really convenient. Check-in was super easy – just needed my passport number. Plus, its central Helsinki location means getting around is a breeze.

CCCBy far, one of my favorite hotel in the world. It was well equipped with everything you need and it feels like home. Location is a sweet spot of central, 10 mins walk to the wheel and Harbour.
Room was clean and easy check in and out. Lobby has board games for entertainment.
GGuest UserThe hotel is in an excellent location, more than 300 meters from the central railway station (direct access to the airport), and the Helsinki Central Library and Concert Hall are within walking distance; the front desk and staff are very friendly; the hotel is an old building, all on the 5th floor, but not on the same level, but the sign system is very well done, and guests are not easily lost; the breakfast is very rich, buffet + a la carte, the taste is very good, breakfast starts at 7:00, the hotel prepared a simple breakfast for early risers at 4:00, which is heartwarming; the hotel has a sauna and Finnish bath, which are really refreshing when you return to the hotel in the evening; there are steps at the front entrance of the hotel, but there is a special elevator at the back door of the hotel that can directly lead to the road ground; the details are considered very thoughtfully and are satisfactory; the only shortcoming is that there is no traditional wardrobe.
MMao72During a road trip through Finland, I stayed at this property several times. It offers essentially identical studio apartments. Its strong point is definitely its convenient location, being about a 15-minute train ride (equivalent to a subway ride) from the airport and 15 minutes from Helsinki city center, with the Malmi station about 100 meters away. The area is predominantly residential, with several businesses nearby. Despite its proximity to the station, external soundproofing is excellent. A weak point, however, is the poor ventilation in the room, with only a small hinged window opening (probably for security reasons; rooms assigned on the 13th and 11th floors) and the windowless bathroom, which tends to stay damp. The last room assigned also had an unpleasant smell of cooked fish, presumably left by the previous guest.
PPing HooWe stayed at Scandic Grand Central Helsinki and loved its unbeatable location — it’s right next to the central train station, which is super convenient for travelers. The room was decent in size, and we really appreciated that the bathroom had a bidet, which was a nice touch. However, the cleanliness of the room could have been better, as it didn’t feel properly cleaned upon check-in. The biggest downside was the hotel’s accessibility — there’s no shortcut or direct access for guests to reach the train station, so we had to walk all the way around every time. Moreover, the main entrance doesn’t have a ramp, which made it very inconvenient for guests with strollers or heavy luggage. We had to take a side lift to get in, which was quite troublesome. Overall, great location but disappointing accessibility design.
VVon30Overall stay was ok. However room design was very weird. Bathroom floors were not heated which wasn’t great during the cold weather. Tried calling reception several times to request for an extra heater as the room heating wasn’t sufficient. Nobody answered and had to go down to reception to request for one. Funny thing is even the reception staff was not aware if it was available.
I have never been to a hotel where the staff at reception would answer me with “I don’t know” or I’m not sure, I need to check. Breakfast spread was good with many choices.
BbonniebonniebonnieVery good accommodation, clean and well-equipped rooms, just a few stops from Helsinki, 2.95 euro train tickets, round trip very quickly. There are three large supermarkets not far away. You can cook in the room.
