Scandic Simonkenttä

On my first day there, the receptionist was quite warm and considerate, which I really appreciated. The room was clean and quiet, yet close to the tourist attractions, allowing me to get a good rest while still having fun exploring. However, I wasn't entirely satisfied, as not every receptionist was equally friendly - though they still did their job professionally.

In my experience, hotels of this size and price always have a coffee maker and/or an electric kettle for tea in each room—even the standard ones—but ours did not have either. In addition, the shower controls in the very tight shower are not easy to figure out, and the temperature was set to scalding hot, so be very careful. Our room was quite small and dated. However, the bed was comfortable and the bedding was nice quality, so overall it was fine for our three-night stay.

We had a great stay there. The location is excellent with easiy tram connections and most attractions are walkable. It’s next to a shopping centre so there are lots of options. We arrived very early and couldn’t make use of the early chdckin fee of €20. However, when we returned around 1430, a room was available and we could check in early, still needing to pay the €20 charge. The staff claimed it’s a standard policy and the charge is mandatory. The thing is, we arrived like before 7am and would be glad to pay but they said room wasn’t available. We asked the hotel to call us but then they refused saying they’d be incredibly busy. We were too tired after a long flight and was expecting to get the room at 1430 (just 1.5 hours earlier than the standard) but we were asked to pay. If customers see a real costs to this they’re happy to pay but this is just plainly another way of increasing revenues?!? Quite unapologetic, inhumane and inconsiderate.

Perfect location. Very clean. Great customer service. Recommended

Great place to overnight and very close of the train station

so great location! Close to center station, traffic is easy, room is clean and comfortable! Will recommend to my friends.

Perfect location, near shopping center, transportation, comfy bed

I absolutely loved everything about this place! The staff were warm and friendly, and the service was excellent. I had such a wonderful stay and would definitely come back again. The location is also perfect—close to all the tourist attractions, with many of them within walking distance. Highly recommended!

Hotel inside very cozy and beautiful! Staff very friendly and helpful. Great breakfast! Hotel close just right at the train station upstairs! Hotel in Helsinki Central, many attractions and places you can easy to walk to! We had wonderful time at Helsinki
