The location is fantastic, about 200 meters from the subway station, and only two stops from Helsinki Central Station. The self-service check-in was very convenient with an English interface, and there's also customer service on the first floor. Both check-in and check-out were seamless. The room was very clean; we booked a family room, which was a bit small for two families but still adequate. On the first floor, there's an open kitchen, coffee machine, water dispenser, dishwasher, laundry room, shared desks, and a dining area, so you can easily prepare your own food. The price is also very good value for money in Helsinki. About 300 meters downhill from the hotel, there's a large supermarket and a lake, and the surroundings are beautiful. I even went for a run by the lake on the first morning – it was very chill.
The breakfast was amazing! In the restaurant I was sad to see they only had one server in the restaurant she seemed to be working very hard but it took a long time to get our bill. I’d like to see them utilise the outdoor area more because it’s very nice. The front desk were very attentive
I was only informed that the morning sauna was free, so I paid to use the sauna at night. However, I’m now wondering if guests staying at the hotel were actually allowed to use the sauna at night for free as well, since I heard that other guests using the sauna didn’t pay.
it’s amazing that you can stay at a hotel with a sauna included for this price.
Here’s an example review for Valo Hotel:

I recently stayed at Valo Hotel and was thoroughly impressed with the experience. The hotel strikes a perfect balance between modern design and cozy comfort. The rooms were impeccably clean, well-designed, and equipped with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. I particularly loved the smart layout, which maximized the space without compromising comfort.
The staff were friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist with any queries or special requests. The location was also a big plus—conveniently situated close to key attractions, public transport, and great dining options.
One standout feature was the wellness area. The sauna and fitness facilities were top-notch, offering the perfect way to unwind after a long day. The breakfast buffet was equally impressive, with a wide variety of fresh and delicious options catering to different tastes and dietary preferences.
Overall, Valo Hotel provided an excellent stay that exceeded my expectations. Whether you're traveling for business or leisure, I highly recommend it for its quality service, comfortable ambiance, and great amenities. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

The room's air conditioning was inadequate, making it quite stuffy in the summer. I went down to the lobby to call the reception, but the phone rang endlessly with no one answering (it didn't seem like they offered 24-hour service). Lobby phones are complimentary. However, do not use your personal phone to call reception, as it costs €0.79 per minute. The hotel is inexpensive, so it's acceptable given the price. Its main advantage is the convenient transport links.
The hotel's location is pretty good; you can actually walk to most of the main attractions. There's also a rooftop where you can see different sights. The hotel lobby is very distinctive, and it includes a buffet breakfast with a wide selection. Even if you have an early flight the next day and can't make breakfast, the front desk staff are very thoughtful and will arrange sandwiches and drinks for you. On the downside, the sauna's operating hours are from 5 PM to 9 PM, which often means we're not in the hotel and can't use it.
The hotel is very good and the environment is very good, but the hotel is a bit old. The sea view room has a very beautiful view, but I forgot to book breakfast. Breakfast is 30 euros per person, which is a bit expensive!
Very clean and tidy hotel, very close to Aalto University, it is a serviced apartment, there is a supermarket downstairs, the requirements reserved when booking the room were arranged very satisfactory, there are also entertainment venues on the first floor, billiards, sauna, public kitchen, public meeting room, gym, very convenient and safe, opposite is the supermarket, buying food is also very convenient, the hotel is very cost-effective, next time I will choose here

The hotel's location is excellent, right across from the STOCKMANN department store. There's a tram stop directly in front of the hotel, offering a one-stop ride to the central train station or a few stops to the cruise terminal. The hotel has its own bar and restaurant, but unfortunately, it's closed on Sundays. Be aware that some basement rooms have no windows, and some rooms are located in a back building, requiring a transfer elevator and a bit of a walk down the hallway – so make sure to ask for clarification. During my two-day stay, I encountered several guests who couldn't find their rooms. The hotel's facilities, cleanliness, and room layout are all good. A great bonus for East Asian travelers is the in-room kettle and a variety of tea and coffee options. The breakfast is rich and offers many choices, perfect for those who enjoy Western cuisine. Taking a ride in the small, ninety-year-old elevator is quite an experience, haha!
The room was clean and tidy, nothing fancy but perfectly adequate, and housekeeping was very diligent every day! The breakfast spread was quite generous, mainly Western-style, with fewer Chinese options. Getting around was quite convenient; taxi drivers generally knew the location well. If you're sightseeing, you can pretty much cover everything on foot within a day.

GGuest UserGood value art deco hotel for a three night stay. Exceptional breakfast. Not very helpful pre advice about location. So…
If you are coming from Helsinki port (eg ferry from Tallinn), get the tram 7T to Kaisaniemenpuisto. Then a short walk to the hotel. Tap and pay at the ticket machine for €3.20 one way, zone AB.
From Helsinki airport, get the train to Helsinki main train station, 33 mins, tap and go, zone ABC. To get there walk down the road for 7 to 10 mins; contemplate some cobbled streets when wheeling luggage, but not an issue.
NB Helsinki Kampii is the main BUS/COACH terminal that you may use to go to Porvoo for a wonderful daytrip; a bit more of a walk from the Arthur Hotel ( use Google maps). Not to be confused with the Art Deco train station. All are walkable.
Finally, a visit to Suomenlinna (zone AB tap & go) is recommended along with Senate Square/the Cathedral & the Russian Cathedral.
Great restaurant for Finnish food and beer under €7 is Ravintola Kolme Kruunua. Lovely shops at the harbour stalls & Craft Corner. Take a walk down the Esplanade.
HheidiOverall, my recent stay with Bob W was disappointing.
I booked the 4-person penthouse room primarily for the use of the sauna on my last day of the trip.
Firstly, pin code provided was only valid for door access to the stairs, not door to the elevator side at night. This became a significant inconvenience, especially for a female traveler like myself who arrived at night after a tiring flight. Having to carry a 20kg luggage and a 10kg carry-on up five flights of stairs was both physically demanding and frustrating. Clear arrangements on how to access the elevator at night should have been considered for guest.
Secondly, check-in process was not clearly communicated, causing panic upon arrival. Unfortunately, I had to seek help from customer service on a third-party booking site and reach out via email to obtain a check-in link, which added unnecessary stress and confusion.
Furthermore, instruction for turning on the sauna were unclear, and I was unable to enjoy it until the next morning at 8am, just few hours before my checkout time. I had specifically chosen the penthouse room with the sauna for a relaxing and enjoyable experience. due to the lack of clear instructions, and had to seek assistance to figure out how to operate it properly, which ate into the limited time I had available to enjoy the amenity.
In conclusion, my stay with Bob W fell short of my expectations. The limited time to enjoy the amenities, issues during the check-in process and accessing the elevator, made for a less than satisfactory experience. I hope that Bob W seriously takes feedback into consideration and makes the necessary improvements to ensure a more enjoyable stay for travelers in the future. Thank you
FFeiyuDirectly opposite the hotel is a small, quiet park. The location is excellent, being very close to the city center, port, and subway, which makes getting around incredibly convenient. There's also a great coffee shop just a short walk downstairs. Overall, I really liked my stay. The only minor point is that there was no kettle in the room for boiling water, and I had to ask for one. I'd suggest the hotel consider proactively providing kettles, especially for Asian guests, and Chinese visitors in particular, as it's a common preference.
SSwissUnitRecommended for one night stay only particularly if you absolutely need to be near the airport. Room was quite basic. No USB port charging, room, slippers, bottled water, or any amenities at all. Restaurant was great, but I don’t think that’s part of the hotel

TTraveler DanI really enjoyed my stay here. The room was perfect for a solo traveler. It was like a small apartment for myself. Having a dishwasher and washing machine were nice comforts. The breakfast was good too from the cafe a 1 minute walk away.
DDennis 陈This is a really 5 Stars Hotel in the heart of Helsinki.
The infrastructure, the amenities, the services are impeccable from check-in to check-out and everything in between. Doormen are courteous and friendly. The Housekeepers are friendly, meticulous and polite.
The Gym is one of the best in the hotel industry. It is so well equipped for all muscle groups you wish to work on.
When one of my friend’s room and some issues, it was immediately remedied and service recovery was swift and effective.
Our rooms were actually extended and drinks grated gratis to wow us. I must say Willem Hagedoorn (the Deputy Hotel Manager) was really generous!
All 5 of us were very impressed by the high quality customer service and first class hospitality standard of NH Collection - we were delighted!
I even got a Birthday surprise from the Guest Relations Manager. Cheers!

GGuest UserThoroughly enjoyed my stay. The hotel is centrally located (walking distance from Kampii, train station, etc.), the room was spacious and well equipped, the service was impeccable and the breakfast buffet extensive. I also enjoyed the dinner, which was included in the room rate. Overall, very good value for money (compared to other hotels). Highly recommend.
