This is one of the cheapest locations in Helsinki, and it is clear why: rooms are basic and small, bathroom is very small. However, for me this was fine as I was there to enjoy the city and not my room. The room was clean, the windows could open (which is getting increasingly rare in hotels, but for me quite... More

We stayed at the Cumulus Olympia to run the Helsinki Marathon. The great plus is that it is within easy walking distance of the Olympic Stadium. If you are going to Helsinki for any other purpose the location is less than desirable. There are no decent shops or restaurants nearby and some rather more dubious businesses. It is also a... More

Stayed for one night. Room was pretty basic and simple with a small bathroom. Breakfast was good, quite basic. Free internet. OK place for a one night stay but maybe not more than that. Nothing to complain, nothing to praise. More

Stayed here three days for work. Paying €130 a night, so not so budget. Dont know if this is the best rate, maybe for Helsinki its typical. My previous two visits were also in medium quality hotels. The rooms are aka the Travel lodge chain in the UK. Small bathroom, with a quite a plastic shower. Clean, but toilet basin... More

I found the staff to be extremely friendly and helpful, the trick is to say hello and smile and *then* ask your question. I don't know if that's the custom of the area but I noticed that patrons who did that got better service than those who just marched up to an employee and demanded something. The hotel is clean,...

Hotel facade and furnishing looks very much 70s or 80s. Room was rather clean when we checked in, but daily cleanup consisted only of making beds - no hoovering no dusting, no bathroom cleaning. No toilet brush available even not upon request. Curtains, once white, appeared dark grey. Breakfast was simple and almost ok, but the so-called coffee was undrinkable.... More

Cumulus Olympia as a building looks like an average grey Finnish building from the 1950´s, but its interior is modern. The hotel was clean, the beds comfortable and the views from the 8th floor to the tower of the Olympic stadium nice. There was a free internet at the lobby, which naturally is a plus. A huge minus goes to... More

The hotel website, esp.the photos, suggested a modern, bright, vibrant place and so, my expectations were high. But on arrival, I thought the exterior looked dull. The reception area was squashed into a corner and the feeling throughout the hotel is that ... it needs some modernisation. The single room was tiny. I suggest you ask for a double ...... More

Great Hotel Room very comfortable and cosy and clean. Enjoyed the varied choice of fare at Breakfast. Staff polite and helpful. I am so pleased I ended up at Cumulus Olympia. It has its own restaurant and bar attached for those who choose to stay put and a free internet service for browsing emails/surfing the net etc. Didn’t have time... More
