Basically good location within 5min-walking distance to the center; free wifi & free use of daily sauna services; very clean & modern design practical rooms(with a full set for ironing in the room); affordable & nice Italian restaurant downstair; cheerful staff.. Pretty much what I can expect at best value

Stayed in Sokos Albert for 3 days in January with my wife and our friends (young family with child). Location is just perfect - all city attractions, malls and central railway station are in 5-15 mins walk, while the hotel itself is located in a quiet residential area. There is a parking in a basement floor - it's not free... More

When I first walked in I got a bit confused because the reception looked more like a bar, which it also was... The elevators are tiny and very old fashion, but the system works if you just read the sign. The cleaning could've been better, there was a bit of dust here and there, the toilet didn't look like it... More

The outstanding features of this hotel are its service and its breakfast. The location is good, about 20 minutes walk to centre of Helsinki and near restaurants and "supermarkets" if you want to buy food for snacks, and Helsinki's "design district". About 20 to 25 minutes walk from the 2 hour ferry to Tailinn, Estonia. There is a bus that... More

Albert is a good choice if you don't need to stay next to the stations. There is a tram connection to the railway station but walking won't last more than 10 - 15 minutes. I stayed here one night during the ice hockey world championships. We only slept here and spent the rest of the two days in the hockey... More

I had a one night accommodation at Sokos Hotel Albert in November 2012. In Helsinki there are two different Sokos hotels on the same street within 200 meters. Previously I have stayed few times in the other one, Sokos Hotel Aleksanteri. But now I wanted to try this hotel. One reason for this was the price. Now and then Sokos... More

I have stayed at this hotel a couple of times, and found its location very pleasant: a quiet but central district of Helsinki, next to the Sinebryuhoff art museum (recommended) and about 10 minutes' walk to the main square. Nice interiors, cosy rooms, modern facilities, and comfortable beds. The upgraded rooms have tea and coffee making facilities. Buffet breakfast is... More

My husband and I spent last week, 20th -27th October in the Hotel Albert and were very happy with our stay. The location is excellent, right in the heart of the city, approx 10 minute walk from Kampii Metro station. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially the reception staff. The room was quiet and comfortable. Best of all was... More
