Top hotels in Kaakkoinen District
Scandic Grand Central Helsinki
Just great hotel for the price. I was there for Slush and it’s next to the train station so it was easy to get to the convention. This was my second stay.

Comfort Hotel Helsinki Airport
Super convenient to the hotel. The room was nice, on the smaller side. Breakfast is in the hotel next to Comfort, but eash enough to get to.
