Location and comfort
I always staff at Scandic Grand Central, most convenient for train travel from the airport and the superior rooms are spacious and bed most comfortable. I’ll be back again soon

Would stay here again
Clean, friendly, comfortable, right smack in the middle of Helsinki. The room's ceiling was 2 times higher than most hotels!

Stayed here for 3 nights, and for the price I paid, this hotel truly exceeded my expectations. The central bus stop is right in front of the hotel, and the train station is just a 1–2 minute walk away. It’s also conveniently located near all the major tourist sights. The room was very nice, clean, and comfortable, and the breakfast buffet was decent. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel!
