8/10 Good

"Good location, clean, reasonable sized room. Air conditioning/heating system not great"

Scandic Simonkenttä

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I had a short stay over in Helsinki, and this hotel was perfect! The location is unbeatable with access to the main train station, downtown, and a lot of food options within a few minutes walk. The hotel itself was very clean, and comfortable. The sauna was amazing, and you have to make time for it. All in all, I highly recommend this hotel."
