This is a great location if you're visiting Helinski. It's close to the train station, the port, and of course, the senate square. It's in the 5th floor of an old building but it has an elevator and everything works smoothly.

This is a good place for a budget stay in the middle of the city. The hotel is very basic. The rooms are very basic. One has to realize that this hotel is consists of maybe 8-10 rooms on the 5th floor of a building. Rooms do not have toilets/showers. So, when booking one has to be aware of this. It is a single floor of a building! It has two very small toilets for men/women. It has a shower that would be a shower of a typical home. It has a small kitchen, with a normal size fridge, a sink, a small dinner table, a stove, ... The location is very central. The lady at the reception was terrific. She was warm, welcoming, smily, helpful. Thanks Galina for your hospitality.

Great location

Older property on the fifth floor of the building. Some quirkiness due to age, but great central location and a tram stop literally right outside the door of the building. I had an emergency when my original lodging was cancelled hours before check-in, and Senate Hotel was able to accommodate me at very short notice.
