Hilton Helsinki Strand Hotel

Perfectly nice hotel for a business trip to Helsinki. Staff were pleasant and changed my room when I didn’t want two single beds. Location is an easy walk to town and handy enough for the airport. The lift was a little old but it was nice to see the full atrium from it

PROS:
Got a view facing south overlooking the canal. Nice! Work table also sat in front of the window which was a nice added touch.
Rate was fairly competitive compared to other international hotels.
Sleep quality was decent and I did get a King size bed.
Free bicycle rental.
Very helpful staff
Heated bathroom floor
Hilton points
CONS:
10,00 Euro internet for 24 hours.
A SLIGHTLY longer walk to downtown (this is really not a big deal unless you are averse to walking an extra 5 minutes to the shops and station!)

Great hotel in a very convenient location. I stay here for work and really my only critique is there could be more to offer at the gym. Food’s a little pricey too, but that’s why God gave us legs and taxis!

We enjoyed our stay at the Hilton Strand. I agree with an earlier review that some aspects of the hotel are a bit worn (carpets, for example) but the rooms are clean, amenities plentiful, and the staff is very warm and friendly. We had a terrific room on the 6^th floor with a sea view. The bed was extremely comfortable. There’s a small, but adequate workout room on the top floor. We never used the sauna or swimming pool as hours were a bit limited, but the area looked well maintained. The hotel has an excellent breakfast buffet with lots of variety. People staying in executive level rooms can also have breakfast in the 7^th floor executive lounge. I have to give special kudos to Hanna, one of the front desk agents. For three successive evenings, Hanna made wonderful recommendations for dinner and then proceeded to book reservations for us. We observed the importance of reservations as people were regularly turned away from restaurants when just walking in off the street. Finally, the location of this hotel is excellent. Its a short walk to the center of town, including the Esplanade, the ferry, and the design district. We’ll stay here again on our next visit to Helsinki.

Great location, nice rooms, awesome breakfast!

Old fashioned décor and the in house movies are not «on demand»!

The decorations in this hotel seemed a little outdated, but it was comfy and clean. The hotel is pretty close to the train and bus station and the staff is quite helpful. The breakfast buffet was yummy had a wide range of options.
