Scandic Grand Central Helsinki

What a fantastic start to our European trip! We booked this in advance & got a good deal with breakfast included. We wanted something that was easy to access from the train station and this was perfect. We checked in very early (7am) which incurred a fee (understandably). The room we were given had an issue with its air-conditioning, so the lovely receptionist found us a new, much cooler room, and she checked the air-conditioning herself before taking us there. Really exceptional service- I wish I had got her name. The hotel decor is gorgeous, honing back to the art deco era, but in a tasteful way. The rooms are unique with high ceilings, lovely furnishings and wood floorings. But the best thing was the breakfast! Everything you could think of was provided, with dietary needs catered for too. We were able to fill up for the day without the need for a big lunch or dinner. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Helsinki!

Great art deco hotel. Very accommodating, we could check in earlier without any problem and check out is at 12. We both work remotely and there were a few spots to sit down and work in the reception, at the restaurant or in the room. Room was to a very high standard, with great decor and had all We needed for a few days. Right next to the train station and in the middle of the city so a great base to explore Helsinki.

Good location and connected to the train station. Rooms are clean and simple. Good lighting too with reading lights by the bed. I happened to luck into a larger room, but my colleague right down the hall had a very small room (much more what I expected from a European hotel). No phone in the room, no clock and no coffee maker. Plenty of outlets and options for charging tech in the room. Body/hair wash in shower, but no lotion. Lovely breakfast in the restaurant and plenty of seats for dining. Friendly staff and very helpful!
