Solo Sokos Hotel Helsinki

The breakfast was fine. The kitchen staff as well as those at the front desk are hospitable. They are friendly and cheerful even though they had to answer queries from several guests. There were several guests checking-in and checking-out concurrently, yet, they wore a cheerful disposition. One reception staff, Ms Anita Huotari, the service manager, assisted me in room matters - she went out all the way to make my stay comfortable. Kudos to her! The location is commendable - central to Market Square, several cafes and shopping centers. Kamppi Bus station is a walking distance from the hotel.

The location is ideal. We walked everywhere and took the tram, stop is a 2 minute walk from the hotel, to the amusement park. We booked a small suite and a larger twin room. The suite had a sitting area with a sofa and 2 comfy seats and its own private sauna- totally worth it. Water pressure in the shower was very good with plenty of hot water. Breakfast was very good. On Sunday they offer smoked salmon, which was very good. The overnight oats were also a big hit. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Fabulous place in the heart of old town. Easy access to metro, trains, busses, ferry. Great staff!, they were so helpful with our questions! The sauna was great too, clean, with showers and towels. The restaurant had nice options and the bar made a nice end of day respite. Breakfast was excellent! So many choices, and even had vegan, gluten free, smoothies, overnight oats, fruits, salads, many bread choices, and regular eggs, bacon, pancakes. Lots of coffee and tea options, but the decaf is instant. Fabulous stay!

Location in the breakfast it was great

Upon arrival I was greeted by the lovely Pinja. I did request a quiet room with my booking, as I was in town for the Helsinki Half Marathon. I did double check this and was given a room change to the 7th floor away from the lifts and the bar beneath the hotel. I slept peacefully. The room was on the smaller side, but perfect for me. Quiet air con, black out curtains and tea and coffee facilities. The location was perfect, a short walk from the main train station and right near cafes & bars and the harbour for sightseeing etc. Breakfast was on the busier side but it's the best selection ive seen at any hotel in a while. The fruit and smoothies were amazing (you can order omelettes and avocado on toast, but these incur an additional charge) Overall I had a brilliant stay and wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Another shout out to Pinja, she is a real credit to the hotel and a fabulous reception, thanks for the chat.
