Hotels near Helsinki Central Railway Station, Helsinki

The location couldn’t have been better. The staff were very friendly and helpful. However, I was in Helsinki at a time that was unseasonably hot. I found the room to be stuffy and hard to cool down. The window opened wide and There was a fan in the room but the cord was not long enough so that it could be placed in front of the window. My real complaint though, was that the wifi service was so weak. Fortunately, I had a great data package so I used that but I would not have been able to rely on the hotel’s wifi service.

I stayed there for a couple of nights in July. I really liked it. Took the train from the airport to the central station and it is literally around the corner. I’m not that familiar with the prices in Finland, but I know it can be expensive. It was about $100 USD a night. Clean rooms, good breakfast and friendly front desk who were nice enough to speak English with me. The hotel seemed pretty empty but it is large so that may be part of it. The large empty halls had a feeling of the “Shining” which I really liked, but let’s be honest. Finland is kind of spooky anyway - in a good way.

We arrived late in the evening from Berlin and had next day May Day lunch with our friends in Helsinki city center. The hotel is conveniently located at Helsinki Central Station. So there is easy transportation by train from the airport. Our plane landed at 21:55 and already at 22:50, we entered our hotel room. Trains via Myyrmäki arrive at this side of the station where the hotel is located. We had booked a standard room with my IHG points. Because of my IHG Platinum Elite status, we were upgraded to a top-floor standard room. Previously these rooms were executive rooms with bathrobes and better toiletries. Not anymore. So there has been some downgrade concerning the room equipment. The rooms are not very spacious but practical. The views from the top-floor rooms are great. Breakfast is never included in the point reservations at IHG hotels unless there is a lounge where you have access. At this hotel, breakfast costs 21 euros per person. It is slightly better than the usual Scandic or Sokos Hotel breakfast in Finland. So maybe it is worth the price.

On an upper floor of the building with the sign City Forum Hostel above its building entrance, it was an ok 3-night stay at this place in an 8-bed dorm room (with a nice addition of a small two-shelf piece in my bed) with also a spacious ”common room” (with long comfortable sofa chairs & also some nice-sized tables). So yes, with the place itself just an average one, the best part of the stay here I would say is its proximity to ”all the essentials”: for sightseeing with just about a 10-minute walk to the ”downtown waterfront” where to visit are the city's ”premier sites” (Helsinki Cathedral, Uspenski Cathedral, SkyWheel Helsinki & the tent-market) and yes where there's also the ferry dock to the Suomenlinna Sea Fortress; for shopping with just about a 5-minute walk to the two big shopping malls (Stockmann just across the main street and Forum to the left on the main street without crossing it); and for food with really quite a number of places to eat right around here (including the two McDonald's in & around the Forum Mall and the ”pretty nice” buffet restaurant called Luckiefun's for Chinese & Japanese food).

The team is super friendly & warm - always smiling & assisting with questions, directions & suggestions. Clean Rooms With 100% noise cutting windows. We stayed in the basic room facing the road & slept blissfully all nights. The Marski has the best best breakfast spread I have ever seen in a hotel in all my 27 years of travel. They have options for every kind of guest. It's unbelievably thoughtful Though we didn't go to the bar, it was packed most evenings with DJ music playing & gave the hotel a lively atmosphere

We had booked an 3-Bett-Zimmer, and there was enough room for everyone to sleep there. The room was beautifully furnished and despite the location to the main station it was very quiet. In the evening you can be sitting in the bar over the roofs of Helsinki and there you can also breakfast in the morning. Breakfast buffet offers everyone something and everything was fresh. There are only two small driving chairs, so you have to bring a lot of patience to get up! The staff were also friendly and very helpful. The baggage room is a disaster, however, because it was completely placed at our departure, and you had to climb over bags and bags to get your own baggage.

They have prepared everything that a traveller needs, stay in without any worry. Kitchen was really great with all kinds of kitchenware and free tea, coffee, dairy. Laundry room is another highlight. Storage room is available before and after check out with the door pin, everything is self service, ease to plan for your trip and time. Highly recommended for everyone

I've stayed for only one night at the hotel but am very satisfied nonetheless! Staff was really nice and helpful, always answering any questions with patience and a smile. Great placement! You just need to turn a corner and there's a shopping center with train station, bus stop also is very close. Rooms nicely organised and clean, with just some small blemishes. Bathroom equipped, clean. Breakfast was good, buffet offers vege options, everyone will find something for a nice meal to start the day.

The front desk was kind and the breakfast was ok. It is really close to the Central Railway Station and the night stay there is also very safe. The surrounding security is good ~ Not far from the shopping mall attractions
