I've stayed at the Holiday Inn City Centre Hotel in Helsinki a few times now and am well pleased with it. Pity they did not recognize me in the system as a returning guest though... Rooms are decent though not huge. Clean with good beds. Breakfast nothing special but acceptable. Very convenient parking.

It is a well-located hotel. It is next to train station and main bus terminal. Airport bus is just in front of the hotel. It is also located in city centre and within walking distance from port and various tourist spots. Hotel staff was very nice. This hotel also offers rich breakfast.

I stayed here for one night because I had to catch an early train in the next morning. I chose here as it is located right next to Helsinki central railway station. The location was perfect as one can walk to the city area easily. Shops and malls were nearby. I went there before check in time, so they allowed... More

This is a very nice hotel near restaurants, the train station, and the casino. And the price much lower than nearby chain hotels. They've made several minor upgrades since my last visit, all of which I appreciated: a 120v plug in the bathroom for a razor meaning I don't have to use my one power converter to charge my razor,...

Right next to the train station and tram stops, so very convenient. But soulless and no character. Great for business trips and families perhaps. Wireless is not free, but sign up for the rewards program and it is - even then, the reception is not that good; I had to go out into the corridor to get a signal.

Location for this property is sound, but unfortunately that is about it. The Holiday Inn Helsinki City Centre is old and depressing. It is in desperate need of a refurbishment. This is one of those hotels where you try to avoid going back to your room. The walls are paper thin, the carpet is bare, and both the rooms and... More

Holiday inn standard quality. I appreciated the most it's closeness to the train station. Nothing amazing, but also, nothing bad with it. I liked the sauna very much. I reccomend it mostly for short stays or business. The breakfast is tasty and the rooms are standard.

An excellent central hotel with easy access to the trains, buses and shopping centre. Airport buses either Finnair or 615 stop just outside. Very well designed spacious rooms with all modern facilities that are extremely comfortable. Far better than the usual Holiday Inn rooms. Free WiFi codes daily from reception if you ask. Lounge areas all very comfortable but bar... More
