Scandic Hakaniemi

During this European trip we used 3 Scandic Hotels. You just cannot go wrong. When we arrived at the hotel the reception make you feel very welcome. The help you with all the questions and direct to places you like to visit. Santa clause village is only 10 minutes away by car. The breakfast was very good and thanks to the hard working and efficient staff . A lot of choice to choose from. The room was very nice with desk and comfortable chair. The bathroom was very nice. In front of the hotel is a big shopping Mall just across the road.. The restaurant at the hotel was great and also plenty of restaurants near by.

quite spacious room for two. Breakfast spread was excellent, with plenty of healthy options. their innovative idea of reducing wastage of food (by stating how much wastage per person in gms on previous day at the entrance of breakfast area makes you well aware of their sustainable approach. most of the touristic attractions including south harbor are at a walking distance of 20-30mins. metro station is just next to the place. we didnt face any issue in late night checkin 0200 hrs. overall, a very good experience.

The location is fantastic, it took, like, 20 minutes or something to walk from the Central Train Station, and the metro/tram/bus stops are literally in front of the hotel, so you'd have no logistics problems whatsoever. It's an easy and nice walk to the city center, and a few delicious restaurants are in the neighbourhood, so again, the location is just great. And they have saunas in the hotel! The room was very comfy and clean. And even though the windows faced the street, there was very little street noise which is a huge boon to me--I didn't even use my earplugs at all. The breakfast was fantastic; so unbelievably good and delicious, and the cinnamon rolls were the best-best-best ever! The stuff was helpful and friendly--many thanks to the lovely ladies at the reception! You rock! P.S. If you stay for a few days in the city and would like to use public transport, definitely get a Helsinki City Card, it'll save you a lot of headache (you can purchase it at the reception).

Good location, metro, bus and tram stop in front of the hotel. Walking distance (about 15 - 20 minutes) to the cathedral and another 5 min to the port. Clean, simple rooms. Good breakfast.

The best things were the staff and the breakfast. The staff was very helpful and understanding in everything (we had a bit of issues with check in, but the staff solved everything perfectly). The breakfast had lots of choices for every taste and was definitely worth the price. The location of the hotel was good, but there's street renovation going on at the moment, so it's pretty noisy.
