The best accommodations Helsinki

Another hotel in the Sokos chain. Admirably located in the heart of the city, at equal distance from the station, the port and the Senate Square, with its 203 comfortable rooms decorated in a refined Nordic style. The rooms are simple, well equipped but may lack a little charm. On site, there are also two saunas: one accessible and one that can be privatized. Access to the neighbouring sports hall for a fee with machines and lessons. Have a nice breakfast.

This very good quality establishment offers simple but pleasant rooms, very clean toilets. The restaurant deserves a special mention: good and generous, very reasonable budget, from hot sandwiches to marinated salmon. Good location on the Katajanokka peninsula: by foot or by tram 4, the city centre and station are nearby. Reservation required in summer. Bathroom outside the bedrooms and equipped kitchens on all floors. Washing machine, instructions, blankets, sheets and sauna (during the day) included.

This is a superb 5-star hotel with 137 elegant and stylish rooms, equipped with all the modern comforts (flat screen TV, Nespresso coffee machine, safe...). Some rooms have a beautiful view of the port and Uspenski Cathedral. The whole team will help you feel at home. In the reception hall, a lounge bar stretches around a fireplace, with daily newspapers and magazines. It should be noted that the hearty breakfast is served in Helsinki's second oldest building.

Its view of the port and the city from its sky bar is breathtaking! Its rooms are sober, very comfortable and well equipped, but it is definitely for its large bay windows that one stays there with pleasure, in order to admire at all times the view of the city and the calm wave... Unforgettable, the dive into the heated swimming pool with transparent walls, perched on the roof of the hotel. You will have to open your eyes underwater or wear swimming goggles.... in order to have the feeling of throwing yourself into the port of Helsinki!

Like the other Scandic hotels, this is a stylish hotel. And it's up to you to choose yours, between Spectacular style 1920 and Charlie Chaplin rooms, Leisure 1950 style Deauville rooms or Conscious 2010 rooms.... The lobby will amaze you with its explosion of colours, but always with taste. Some rooms even have a sauna for a total wellness immersion, without being overpriced either. This hotel is renowned for its unguarded, frank and friendly welcome. Something to feel a little like home.

Open all year round, this small youth hostel is located in the city center, on a lively street. It offers beds in dormitories of 8, 5 or 4 beds (mixed or not). But also single, double and triple rooms. And ideal for families and groups of friends, a six-berth room. The rooms are clean and fully equipped. Bathrooms and toilets are shared (in dormitories and private rooms) and are located in the corridor. You can also rent a small apartment for greater privacy.

Ideally located right in the center of the city, in the mythical train station, this hotel is part of the huge Scandic hotel chain, one of the largest in the Nordic countries. The hotel offers a typically Finnish design experience, with architecture by Eiel Saarinen. The building, which is listed and protected, is divided into an older part, with Art Nouveau architecture, and an ultra-modern part. The hotel has 500 rooms, from which you can admire the capital's major monuments. An ideal, refined address.

Opened in May 2018, this hotel is something of the ultimate luxury hotel in Helsinki. Everything here is designed for maximum well-being, to make you feel good and not want to leave. 148 rooms and 5 suites await you: all absolutely sublime, well-equipped and decorated: serenity is the watchword. For a relaxing break, the hotel has a swimming pool, sauna and spa: massages and treatments are yours for the taking. Breakfast is exceptional, and the bakery and restaurant are divine. In short, a true no-fail experience.

A youth hostel far from the urban crowd, in a former Russian primary school on the delightfully relaxing island of Suomenlinna. At the rendez-vous, calm and comfort in modern and functional rooms, and in the evening, when tourists gradually leave the fortress island, its wild charms will reveal themselves to you alone. For the party-goers, maritime shuttles remain available for unforgettable city excursions. You can choose between private rooms or dormitories: women only 8 beds, mixed between 7 and 10 beds.

This is a comfortable and excellent quality hotel, ideally located in the heart of the bohemian and trendy district of Punavuori, with its many cafés, charming shops and restaurants. The interior decoration, modern and refined, is not original, but it is common in Finland. Breakfast is good, but you may prefer to go to the legendary Café Ekberg, which has not stolen its reputation as a French pastry chef... A little something extra: the hotel's website is available in French.

Built in 1909 by the architect Selim A. Lindqvist, the beautiful, sleek building served as a power plant with administrative offices until 1974, when the police moved into its quarters. In 2015, the prestigious hotel opens its doors in the heart of the Design District. If the rooms are comfortable and luxurious, we regret the lack of originality of the interior decoration, for a hotel that wants to be trendy and unique. Lilla Roberts has a modern bar and a restaurant that is popular with trendy business customers.

The best thing about this grand hotel? The view! In a word, a breathtaking view of the sea, its islands and the summer twilight. For that alone, this site is worth the detour. As with any Hilton, impeccable service is a must. The hotel has its own private beach and swimming pool, so you can leave your mind free to take in the beauty of the landscape. The facilities are identical to those of other Hiltons. There's a gym, sauna, two restaurants and a bar. Paid parking available. Rooms are excellent, with 4 categories of comfort.

A good address for camping enthusiasts. And in summer, the beach is just a stone's throw away. There's a sauna, restaurant and shops nearby. One of the great advantages of this campsite - a rare feature for a campsite in a European capital - is that it's directly (and easily) accessible by metro, so you can get there straight from the airport or central station. Otherwise, the overall quality is pretty good, and the facilities are up to scratch. Ideal for those who like to camp while traveling!

Katajanokka prison closed in 2002 and since 2007 has been transformed into a hotel. But don't worry, the narrow cells of the prison have been grouped together to form rooms equipped with all the modern comforts: TV, minibar, double bed in each room, hairdryer... On site, sports hall and sauna accessible. The hotel is well located and close to a park. The restaurant offers you an international cuisine of very high quality. We can also see a cell of origin. Prison Break fans will be thrilled!

Ideal location, as located by the sea in Matinkylä (Espoo) and easy to access. The main advantage of Hotel Matinlahti is that it changes the air of the city in just a few minutes by bus or by car. This place is perfect for business seminars as it has several conference rooms. All rooms have high-speed wired internet, TV and balcony. To book, the website is translated into French, practical for non-bilingual. In the summer, many animations and possibilities for outings near the sea are in the programmes, so you can recharge and take a large bowl of fresh air only 12 km from the capital!

This family hotel is a little bit of design as it should be. It is very well located, right in the city centre, less than 10 minutes walk from the station, Kamppi and 15 minutes from Helsinki Lutheran Cathedral. Among the 37 rooms, there are single, double, triple or quadruple rooms, all well equipped and comfortable. It is a good value for money. Possibilities to have a discount in the underground car park for those who are transported. No catering on site, but many nearby establishments are available.

Opened in 2022, this is one of the newest jewels in the Scandinavian chain's ever-expanding crown. In the renovated premises of a former printing works dating from the 1920s, a great deal of work has been done both to make the premises modern and to retain the cachet of the area's important industrial heritage: a successful gamble. Rooms are comfortable and well-equipped. Finally, the location (a ten-minute walk from the train station) makes it an excellent choice for a stay in Helskinki, whether for tourism or business!
