Scandic Hakaniemi

The location is good, near to Metro station, food market, 24 hours supermarket etc. the buffet breakfast is good with some Finland local foods. The cinnamon roll is yummy. The only shortfall is the hotel not providing coffee tea making facilities, if you need hot water, has to get it from the coffee machine located at the lobby.

I arrived early, so I just left my luggage at the hotel before my friend treated me to breakfast there. Then we went sightseeing. The breakfast buffet was excellent, offering a wide variety of food, including some Finnish specialities. The location was amazing, right on Hakaniemi plaza, just in front of the market, with metro access. The room was really nice and clean, and had all the amenities.

Hotel is lovely and the room is spacious and very clean. It’s very close to Helsinki city centre, about 15 minutes and just across the river. Buffet breakfast is delicious and fresh with plenty of options. All the staff are very friendly and helpful and in particular, the lovely lady in the kitchen is always smiling, warm, cheerful and greets everyone good morning on arrival for breakfast. It really makes a difference to the start of the day. If you don’t have a lot of luggage and arrive by train from the airport, this hotel is a short 15 minutes from from Helsinki Central station. Otherwise there is a train stop underground just a little to the left of the hotel and tram stop right in front of the hotel which is currently under renovations.

The hotel was great. We enjoyed staying in this hotel. The breakfast was also great.

Great value for money and location. Cleanliness can be improved as a few snack crumbs were found upon arrival

Excellent breakfast but not recomend doble bed room too small for couples and very soft bed
