Hôtels 2 étoiles à Uusimaa, Finlande

Senate Hotel, although basic, is situated well for local attractions - 10 minutes walk from the shops/ restaurants/nightlife of Helsinki city centre; 15 minutes walk from the harbour, if you arrive by ferry; and right next to Senate Square/Helsinki Cathedral. The hotel, itself, is based in an apartment building, on the fifth floor, and has ten rooms. There's a five-hour window, in which there's a receptionist to meet you (3-8pm). Outside of this time, you are given a code to enter the main door of the building, and then the front door of the hotel section, which I had to do. As it turned out, a friendly staff member was still there when I arrived, and I was fortunate enough to be given a free room upgrade. The double room I was given, was larger than average, and included a wash basin and small refrigerator. The bathroom and toilets are shared, but clean with a good, strong shower, and separate men's and women's toilets. There's also a small shared kitchen, so you could prepare food. My hotel room had a comfy bed, and good thick enough curtains which, if you're here in the height of Summer, means you won't be woken by the sunrise before 4am! The decor is a bit dated, but if you need info on what to do, where to go, and what's happening in Helsinki, there's lots of information. This is more of a short-stay hotel - a few days, at most, but if you need a well-located, warm, simple place to base yourself while in the city, this is actually a good choice.

The hostel is perfect for travelers in search of a fair accommodation at the heart of helsinki city centre. It’s quite strange though that receptionists and hostel staff are almost never present and the only appearances were the one of the cleaning maid. The result is that guests don’t really communicate or interact no matter the huge living room and sofas and the fact that they all have to share the kitchen amenities. What happens is that the level of tidiness and accountability for the usage of mugs, plates, cutlery depends on your luck and the guests who check in each and every day. By the last day we had partygoers stopping only for a night out and cans of pepsi and a bottle of vodka were left on the common table (not sure if it was a shy invite to indulge) while the sink and the dishwasher were crammed with badly rinsed stuff. It’s a pity cause the common showers, the toilets and the rooms were fairly clean, we simply expected the typical hostel experience where you manage to socialize a bit more thanks to the staff.

Alle Bereiche außer meinem eigenen Zimmer wurden gemeinsam genutzt. Und es war sehr sauber. Gemeinschaftsküche, Gemeinschaftsbad, das Zimmer, in dem ich wohnte. Die fehlende Rezeption führte zu einer ständigen Anhäufung der Dichte. Ohne die Hilfe der russischsprachigen Frau, deren Geduld ich bewunderte, hätte ich diese Punkte nicht einmal vergeben.

For a budget-friendly stay, this place is a total win. It’s perfect if you’re a simple traveler looking for a fair price. The location is great right by the tram and close to the sea, making it a breeze to get around. The place was a lifesaver for us, We had a 3-hour wait for our train in bad weather, and the staff were incredibly accommodating, letting us stay in the lounge long after checkout. Super chill, welcoming vibe and highly recommended for a practical, friendly spot near the city. A great, no-fuss choice!

I spent a few nights in one of the shared dorm and found the stay fairly good overall. The dorm was tidy, and it was useful that each bunk had a power socket. There was also a spacious locker for each guest, operated with the room key. I came across comments raising concerns about locker security, so that may be worth keeping in mind. There is a shared kitchen for guests to use. Having a supermarket directly below the hostel was very convenient, and public transport is close by, with a tram stop only a short walk away. On the downside, the toilet had a very unpleasant smell, and the hostel is not especially close to the city centre.

Peaceful place, no noise from the traffic and otherwise also very quiet. Room had tv, refrigerator and a comfy chair beside the bed. What can I say? For this price I say this a steal. Also breakfast was very good. I fully recommend this at least for solo travelleres like I.

Je n'ai jamais été dans d'autres endroits en Finlande. Il n'y a pas de comparaison, donc je ne peux pas juger, je peux seulement dire que ce magasin est le magasin le moins cher que je puisse trouver qui puisse marcher jusqu'à la gare. Le dortoir n'est pas mal. Les toilettes et la douche sont trop serrées. Je ne suis resté qu'une nuit, donc ça allait. Si vous voulez rester ici longtemps à Helsinki, vous ne vous sentirez pas trop à l'aise. Mais il est trop cher de réserver un hôtel ou un bed and breakfast en Finlande. Alors mes concitoyens, ne venez pas en Europe du Nord si vous n'avez pas de budget. Le personnel ici est très gentil d'ailleurs. Il ne fait pas froid, très enthousiaste.

Un espace de stockage est disponible gratuitement. La chambre double que nous avons réservée dispose d'une salle de bain commune et pas de sèche-cheveux ! ! La chambre est assez petite, avec un réfrigérateur, une bouilloire et un micro-ondes. L'emplacement n'est en fait pas facile à trouver la première fois que j'y vais.

Les grands endroits, avec un seul camarade de chambre super calme auberge, le ferry était absolument à temps, assurez-vous que vous vous planifiez pour cela sinon il est un solide 40 minutes d'attente en hiver.

Had a little trouble trying to figure out how to get in the hotel but it was great
