Hotel Holiday Inn Helsinki - West Ruoholahti (Helsinki, Finland)

There is a metro station just a few minutes' walk away which connects you with the main train station. Holidaymakers also have easy access to a shopping centre and a variety of restaurants nearby.

The guestrooms are all of a good size, are well decorated and very comfortable. Cleaning is of a high standard an guests have referred to it as a “home from home”. The televisions have channels in a range of languages and there is also a mini-bar in the room.

This hotel is used frequently by business travellers and as you would expect has a desk in each guestroom and a reliable Wi-Fi service. There is an on-site restaurant serving high quality dishes with a good level of customer service.

The hotel is situated on the edge of the city centre so if you're wanting to be right in the middle of Helsinki this may not be the best hotel for you. There is a metro stop close by that takes you right into the city or a taxi takes approximately ten minutes to get there. For the more active it is approximately 25-minutes on foot into the centre.

Some guests have reported that the breakfast area can get quite busy. If you prefer a sedate start to the morning it might be worth avoiding the busiest times otherwise you may struggle to get a table.

At busy times you may find yourself waiting a little longer than you would expect for the elevator. If you are in a rush you may wish to use the stairs or factor in a wait time to get to/from the lobby area.
