Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Scandic Helsinki Station enjoys a prime location right next to Helsinki Central Station, making airport transfers incredibly convenient, with the train platform practically behind the hotel. The Oodi library and other attractions are within easy walking distance, and many guests appreciate the varied breakfast served on the second floor. Some guests have mentioned the shower pressure could be stronger, but overall, the hotel provides a comfortable stay with convenient amenities like a fridge and kettle in the room.

warm room unfriendly staff

The room felt overly warm, even with the ventilation system running. I found it difficult to sleep comfortably because of the constant warmth, and I could not open the windows to get fresh air. the staff wasn't as friendly as I expected (maybe they were just busy?).
