Comfort Hotel Helsinki Airport
Not a bad place for just a night stay when you have an early flight the next morning. Would be a better stay if there were more pillows on the bed versus just one per person.

VALO Hotel & Work Helsinki
was a bit disappointed. Good WiFi. Small room. Got overcharged multiple times by the staff at the bar. Ordered the same thing and it was charged multiple dollars higher everytime. $12 for a shot of vodka is legit robbery ! Next day. I got a drink at the bar around 1:45pm as well as two other people ...
