Hobo Helsinki
Nice boutique hotel that was comfy and enjoyed the friendliness of the staff. Like the bar downstairs. Wasn't able to enjoy breakfast as I left very early in the morning.

Noli Katajanokka
The whole place was clean and modern. It’s very much a self service kind of hotel where you can check in and out with yourself. Great location also since the train is next to the building which is accessible to the whole city center in immediate minutes. Overall great hotel especially for someone ...
