Hilton Helsinki Strand Hotel

Clean, great location, comfortable beds, good breakfast, nice bar. Nice staff. We were visiting our daughter who lives in Helsinki and it was perfect for our stay. Will stay here again next time.

Very comfortable hotel central and walking distance to the main attractions. A suoermarket is near by to stock up on water and snacks. Meteo, tram and busses only 2 min walk! (Bus 600 from/to the airport) Quiet if you have a room at the back. The digging work was still but it did not affect my stay. The rooms have great blackout blind for a comfortable night and the bed ate so coay. The sauna was good and not busy. There is a small pool at the too which is great for families. The restaurant’s food was good too. Overall a great 5 nights stay.

Neither the Hilton App nor the hotel itself warned us when we parted with €1000 for a 4 night stay that there was harbour building work right outside the hotel. Having paid extra for an upgraded room with a sea view, all we actually saw was a construction site next to the water. On week day morning we were woken a 6am by enormous bangs as the builders dropped rocks into the back of a lorry. Obviously this ruined what should have been a relaxing holiday visit to Helsinki. The hotel have responded to my feed back with just a “sorry” which to me represents the actual care and probably why this intrusive building is never mentioned anywhere. Bedding should have been changed every 3 days too but wasn’t. Upon arrival in the room there were no spoons/stirrers, a dirty used mug left on the side, conditioner bottle empty in the bathroom. Anyone planning to go here soon needs to avoid until the building work on the harbour is complete as the very early noise is unacceptable and just a shame Hilton won’t advise you of it.
