Cumulus Airport

Very convenient to the airport — free shuttle bus 3 times/​hour. There is a huge shopping mall within walking distance (about 10 minute walk) which has a couple of large grocery stores, which is very convenient. Huge spa also connected to that mall. Easy to get to downtown Helsinki via bus 615 (the bus stop is a 5 minute walk away from the hotel), which goes to the central train station in Helsinki (30 minute bus ride). Free WiFi. The breakfast buffet is pretty good (especially the meatballs and potato Karelian pastries), but beware — the «scrambled eggs» are really more like an egg custard! — which I actually like, but it might gross out some Americans expecting something else. The rooms are very clean, the bathrooms are nice, the beds are comfortable. Oh, and huge plus: breakfast is open starting at 4am, so you never have to leave hungry even if you have an early flight to catch! Anyway, all in all, a really nice place to stay if for whatever reason you need to stay near the airport and not downtown! (My only complaint is that there is no self-​service laundry facility available on site. The full-​service laundry option is ridiculously expensive, so make sure to travel with quick-​dry socks and underwear to clean yourself if you are coming for more than a couple of days!)
