Scandic Hotels in Helsinki

The hotel is very good, there is a free shuttle bus to the airport, about 10 minutes. The room is very clean, the front desk is very nice, the next day I left early and did not go to the sister hotel for breakfast, I chose to take away

Hotel looks old but room is okay, couple of reviews mentioned bathroom is small but we found it alright. Breakfast is nice, offers quite a wide spread of variety. CS at recep can be better though. We booked an extra night and left a message to inform the hotel in advance but our room was still released as 'no-show'; when we nicely requested for early check in, staff told us 'fully booked, come back at 4pm to try again'. Friendly staff from restaurant/cafe/housekeeping.

Hotel is lovely and the room is spacious and very clean. It’s very close to Helsinki city centre, about 15 minutes and just across the river. Buffet breakfast is delicious and fresh with plenty of options. All the staff are very friendly and helpful and in particular, the lovely lady in the kitchen is always smiling, warm, cheerful and greets everyone good morning on arrival for breakfast. It really makes a difference to the start of the day. If you don’t have a lot of luggage and arrive by train from the airport, this hotel is a short 15 minutes from from Helsinki Central station. Otherwise there is a train stop underground just a little to the left of the hotel and tram stop right in front of the hotel which is currently under renovations.

location was super convenient, we were a 3 mins walk away from the Central Railway Station which connects you to other places in Helsinki quickly and efficiently. breakfast selection can be varied as we stayed for a couple of nights but the selection remained the same everyday. but overall, really enjoyed our stay! :) thank you for the amazing service provided especially at the reception where we experienced difficulties with our flight and they were kind enough to assist us throughout.

We booked 3 room for one night when we transit from Helsinki to rova, the location is good - surrounded by many shopping mall. Stockmann is just opposite the hotel and train station is behind. The room is just normal hotel room so don’t set too high expectation on the room. Walking distance to most of the tourist spot.

A basic hotel in an ok location. Really nice employees at the reception. Great views from the sauna upstairs, but otherwise impractical facilities in the sauna/shower section. You had to leave your shoes in the hallway if you didn't want your socks to get wet when you went to the ”changing room”, and when you put your shoes on it would be good to have a chair to sit on. Only three showers available, so you had to queue to get in the shower. A hotel popular with families with children, so the swimming pool was noisy and full of splashes. Similarly, there was always someone coming in through the door slowly with a group of children at the sauna, so the steam baths were missed. Nice that fresh croissants were served to the tables at breakfast. The bar waiter had his own strong opinions about what is good beer and what is not. I have understood that the first lesson of a customer service person is that the customer is always right. I got the feeling that I don't understand anything about good beer when I said what I like. I didn't feel good about that encounter.

It was tired for the long train to Helsinki , and the weather is super cold that night. We needed some hot water and we requested kettle from the reception. We were very surprised and felt warm when received kettle with hot chocolate. Perfect customer service. Thank you 🫰

Stayed at Scandic Helsinki Aviapolis, a convenient airport hotel near Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. Overall, it was a good stay, ideal for transit travelers and short visits. The hotel is just a few minutes from the airport, with a free shuttle service running every 20–30 minutes. It is also within walking distance of Aviapolis train station (about 15 minutes), making it easy to reach Helsinki city center. A major plus is the Jumbo Shopping Mall nearby, offering a variety of restaurants, shops, and a grocery store—perfect for those needing last-minute essentials or an alternative dining option. The room was clean, modern, and functional, featuring comfortable bedding, a work desk, and a well-maintained bathroom with a walk-in shower and essential toiletries. The breakfast buffet starts at 6 AM, offering a great selection of fresh bread, cold cuts, hot dishes, and Finnish specialties. For those with super early flights, a light breakfast is available from 4 AM. Due to time constraints - I briefly checked out the gym and sauna in the basement which appeared well-maintained. The staff was friendly and efficient, making check-in and check-out smooth. The overall atmosphere is modern and practical, making it a great choice for travelers catching an early flight or needing a short, comfortable stay near the airport.

Only stayed for one night before our flight back to London. The room is big enough for a couple. Bathroom & toilet is modern & clean. No kettle/coffee facility in the room but the restaurant area is very accessible. Iron & iron board is available inside the room so that is handy. Breakfast is very good with many selections including hot food.

The room is large and there is a simple kitchen where you can buy something to eat yourself, which is convenient for tourists who don't want to eat outside. If the gout environment is better, it will be perfect.
