I appreciated their welcoming,…read moreinclusive messages from the reviews and pics I'd seen online and their website, and they truly were so friendly and kind. I appreciated the hospitality throughout the stay from messages before check-in and ease of check-in to having my luggage held as I explored the city a bit more between check out and my flight. Booking and check in were easy, and my room was fantastic. The space was just what I needed as a solo traveler with a quiet room, nice views, sense of safety, clean space, plenty of high quality amenities and products (toiletries, coffee/tea and an in-room machine, etc), thoughtful storage built in, and a comfortable bed. It was VERY convenient to everything I wanted to access, whether walking distance to sites and shopping on my list or very easily walkable distance to public transit for further attractions and the airport. I did not add the breakfast option as I wanted to explore different local places each day, but it did look lovely and the space where breakfast was held was inviting. Having the rooftop bar to watch the sunset was a fantastic bonus! I can't say enough how much I appreciated my stay at Klaus K and would highly recommend for any future travelers. I hope to come back and will absolutely stay here again!

Service on entry was prompt, plus they had my room ready before check in time which was fantastic. Love when that happens. It's a small check in area, but serves the purpose, also loved all the amenities they provided at the desk for your stay, toiletries, slippers, water, even free ice cream/popsicles! They provided a full breakfast with my room, which was again fantastic. My room was roomy with a nice bed, all the things I needed, hairdryer, iron, safe, great bathroom. Everything worked! One of the biggest rooms I've stayed in Europe. The breakfast was amazing, so much variety, great fresh bread, coffee, hot breakfast, pastries, fruit. Way too much to eat! Super clean as well. They have a nice Italian restraint attached too, I had the best Affagato here. They have a small bar area by the reception, they have wine , beer and cocktails, and they let me watch the euro soccer finals here ! Great little place as I didn't want to Goto a crowded bar. Loved I could walk everywhere, and was close to the train station for getting to and from the airport. Great hotel, great price, great service!

The rooms are very spacious, meticulously kept and quiet for a restful night sleep. The people that work here from the front desk to the restaurant could not be more helpful. It is a bit pricey but well worth the money that you'll spend. We took advantage of the restaurant for a delicious buffet type breakfast to start the day but if you want something lighter many cafe's close by. Also used the exercise facility which is associated with a spa on the 8th floor that had everything I needed. This is a wonderful hotel & would recommend it!

Such a cute small place which a is accessible from the outside, they have a wonderful assortment of sweet and savory mouth watering items, drinks are coffee, teas, wine and beer. Of course midday I was thinking bubbles ! It took me a hot second to decide from the choices what to eat, so I went with the orange and raisin scone and my glass of bubbly. Also had some toast as it looked so good freshly cut. They have a nice seating area next to the cafe inside or several tables and chairs outside, and as nice as it was outside I went out. Loved the carbs here! The scone was crumbly and zesty, studded with raisins. Washed down well with my glass of bubbly, coffee would be great too! The toast was thick and chewy and so good, not processed tasting at all, freshly baked with good ingredients. Sat outside with lots of birds eager for me to drop something, but I ate every crumb. So delicious. Great place to get a snack anytime. Trust me the choices will leave to wanting to go back.

I arrived earlier than the standard check-in time and and was accommodated with my Marriott Gold Status. After completing some documentation I was provided my keycard and was given a guided tour to my room. The room was in nice condition and had a work desk which I needed. I turned on the thermostat as it was warm upon arrival. I attempted to set my room temperature to 18C but it would only allow me to set at 19C minimum. I went out to see the town for a few hours and came back and the room was still quite warm. I notified the staff and the offered to move me to a cooler room which I accepted. The second room was nice as well but was much cooler. The hotel is conveniently located in the Helsinki City Center and many destinations are walkable. This hotel has two places to eat, a bakery and a breakfast restaurant (buffet-style). I didn't attempt to eat here outside of breakfast as several restaurants are also located within walking distance. I can't say enough how polite and pleasant the staff is here. Four stars!

Check-in was quick and seamless. They asked if I wanted to have the room cleaned daily-nice so you don't have to deal with hanging signs on the door. I got my request for a room on the top floor-yes! My King room had a partial city view and was facing an office building. Room came with a Safe (with a built in Outlet for devices -which I haven't seen), mini fridge and iron. Woodwork for the Headboard and on the ceiling made for a different and unique look. Outlets were plenty with USB ports. Breakfast was available for 14 Euros and they have a restaurant (Bistro Vilholn) attached. Had dinner one of the evenings and would recommend. Sauna (separated for M/F) was a good size although the Gym was a small one. There is the option to go to a much larger Fitness Center close by. Taxis arrived minutes after being called. I saw a Piano in the back seating area and lounge. Would highly recommend for Staff that provided exceptional service, location, restaurant and amenities.

The reason for the high praise is because the breakfast is by far the number 1 I've seen here. Just massive spread of anything you could want. Fresh juice right when you walk in.

Would definitely recommend here or the Radisson Red close by, which has much more updated rooms, but not as nice of a breakfast.

The cocktails here are quite good and there is free wifi! Unfortunately, they do not take American Express (as I found many places in Helsinki do not) but this place is great! There are even spectacular views to be seen from the bathroom! At night the rooftop tower lights up and sparkles. It can be seen from all over the city. Love it!!

My only issue was the comforters were too warm in summer. I like to sleep cool. When I got hot I kicked them off, but then got chilly. Would have preferred a simple summer blanket. That is all!

Extraordinary breakfast buffet tht came with our room, in fact probably the most extensive breakfast buffet I have ever experienced. And the food was top notch, not jut the choices. There is a small friendly bar in the lobby. Staff at every level were accommodating. The only strange thing was that when we checked in we were asked if we wanted a room with a window or not. At first that seemed strange, then we realized that with it being the summer there are only about 3 hours of darkness outside so some people may not want the sun in their windows at 3:00 am. If visiting Helsinki, I highly recommend this hotel.

The room was relatively big and had everything I wanted (even the tea kettle that Mathias H referred to as missing in his previous review). I even appreciated the blackout curtains, as the sun does set quite late in the Helsinki summer month and rises again awfully early (they really should do something about this ;-) The breakfast is included in the rate and while it doesn't contain hot items such as scrambled eggs, it is perfectly tasty and there's plenty of other things that gave me energy for the day. The staff at the hotel was friendly, but contained in the (typical) Finnish way. + free wifi + free breakfast

We arrived to the hotel around 7am- it's a quick walk from the train station which was a huge pro for us. Despite being several hours early the receptionist told us we could have a room around 10am. We opted to wait and have breakfast. Around 10am I went back and was told it would maybe be 1pm. Now I know that's still early but they saw us sitting here for 3 hours and no one said a thing- which was really annoying. There's a luggage room that we places our suitcases in and then hit the town. Location is another pro- connected to Kamppi you have a tone of options for food, shopping and entertainment. Once we were back and checking in they had upgraded us to a larger room- love that. The hotel room was nice, but the beds and the pillows were uncomfortable. We also found the room to be rather hot despite having the temp as low as it could go. We only spent one night here and honestly it was pretty meh. Breakfast is about $26EUR per person.

As I entered the hotel I noticed the dirty outside facade and tattered Hilton flag. We were given a low floor with no upgrades available. The elevator door buttons were sticky and gross, the floor appeared to not be vacuumed or cleaned in a very long while as well as a disturbing amount of gross water marks on the glass elevator. We assented quickly to the 4 th floor. Not the executive floor we should have been placed on and as I exited the elevator I began to sneeze and couldn't stop. The layer of dust that greeted me upon exited was appalling. Apparently, this hotel cannot reach certain areas and therefore chooses not to clean them on any level. I noticed the same on floor 7 when visiting the executive lounge which was small and cramped and the pool/sauna. Needless to say. I tried to spend most of my days out exploring instead of in a dust filled hotel where my allergies were quite uncontrollable. This was not the Hilton experience I expected not deserve for the money time and effort I am using for my holiday.
