Helsinki

A small, clean, and friendly hostel with a central location.

In the Olympic Stadium building to the north of the center, but quite easily accessed by tram.

Helsinki's largest hostel, very close to the dock for the Viking Line ferry and the Uspenski Cathedral. Dorms from €24.10, single rooms from €45 plus €2.50/person for non-HI members.

Central location, clean, and good amenities. Wi-fi €5/day.

All year open hostel located at the Suomenlinna sea fortress. Great for a quick escape from the city. The ferry runs from 6am to 2am so you are not totally cut off.

A young, regenerating hotel right in the city center. Even though the rooms are small and fairly no-frills, the hotel is comfortable and cheap. Under new management, the hotel seems to be getting better and cheaper by the day. There are 27 rooms, which can accommodate from one to four people per room. Location absolutely perfect.

Situated in the heart of the city in the trendy Punavuori neighbourhood, next to the historical Alexander Theatre.

Hotel GLO is situated in the centre of Helsinki, between Alexanterinkatu and Pohjois Esplanadi.The hotel has a direct entrance to the shopping centre Kämp Galleria. The Palace Kämp Day Spa is located on the top floor of the hotel. Glo clearly lives of being the slightly cheaper alternative next door to Kämp, but is not quite able to match the quality of service of a true luxury hotel either.

A modern hotel in an old apartment building in the elegant residential district of Töölö, formerly Accome Töölö. Rooms are modern, spacious and have nice views to the park across the street and to the others architecturally beautiful buildings. A twin room goes for €77–128, a one bedroom room €96–176 and the biggest two bedroom apartment with a sauna and a balcony €110–184.

A large, modern hotel catering to families, leisure travelers, and business travelers. Over 500 rooms, sauna, exercise facilities, wireless Internet access, restaurant and bar. Excellent breakfast included with all rooms. Good location near Tram 4, 7, and 10 for convenient transport to city center 3 min by tram, or a 10 min walk. Finnair buses from the airport stop close to the hotel about 2 blocks past on the way from the airport, and directly opposite the hotel on the way to the airport, providing convenient transport to/from airport.

A dependable old standby within walking distance of the city center.

Hotel Room is actually not a hotel, but a funkily furnished 30 sq.m. flat in the Kallio district.

Formerly the Hotel Hesperia. Rooms offer comfy beds, modern furniture and up-to-date electronics. The hotel also has a sparkling new gym with a pool.

Helsinki's first boutique hotel, although they prefer the term "personal contemporary hotel". Rooms range from the small Passion & Mystical types to the aptly named Envy Plus. Central location, funky styling and reasonable prices make this a winner.

Classy hotel in a protected and carefully renovated, Kalevala-inspired 1917 building, located near the railway station within easy walking distance of Aleksanterinkatu. Excellent breakfast buffet.

Located across the Pitkäsilta bridge, a 15-minute walk or short tram ride away from the main railway station.

Opened 1887, this historic hotel claims to be the only true 5-star in Scandinavia, with doormen in top hats, yacht charters and prices to match: the eight-room Mannerheim Suite can be yours for only €3300 per night. Part of Starwood's Luxury Collection.
