The reviewer who complained about this hotel not being convenient for travellers must have an aversion to public transportation. The hotel is no more than a block from a metro station, which is two stops away from the main train station downtown. From that point, it is easy to walk or take a tram almost anywhere in the Helsinki tourist... more

This is a great hotel about a 15 minute walk from the central train station. Rooms are clean, quiet and well appointed. The front desk staff is very helpful. Great view of the harbor. 5 minutes to the subway/tram/bus stop. more

I've been in this hotel for meeting several times. For a traveler the location is not perfect. If you are in for business it does not really pay any role where your hoitel is located - as long as it's easy access to where you should alredy be in. There is a nice market place (Hakaniementori) next to the hotel... more

We used this hotel just as an overnight before leaving to Tallinn, so we didn't want to spend a great amount of money, but wanted a luxurious property somewhere in the city. Hilton seemed to be a well regarded establishment, so we chose this one. Upon arrival we were warmly -for a hotel in north Europe- and in no time... more

i hosted a distributor meeting here for about 30 clients. although a little pricey, we definitely were treated well. i was very impressed with the staff and the organization of the meeting. the only trouble i had was a double charge on my credit card by one of the front desk agents which took 3 months and a bank claim... more

Delightful stay in a lovely large room overlooking the water. The buffet breakfast had lots of variety, fresh fruits, great breads/rolls, and smoked salmon. The staff was extremely courteous and helpful. It was fun to go to the local farmers market and mass transit was only a 2 minute walk from the hotel. Quiet,, professionally run, relaxing hotel. Our room... more

The Hilton Helsinki Strand is very easy to find from the airport and the city. You will be able to walk over to the Hakaniemi Metro stop where you will find the trams and a market of food stalls and gift shopping. The hotel is very business orientated, and the rooms are very clean as well as comfortable. The staff... more

I've stayed here twice in the last 2 weeks. First time I was in a 'standard' room which was nice enough but 20 euro for an interent connection and 25 euro for breakfast (and neither of these rates were vsisble to anyone from what I could find)!!!! OK, I suspect very few people staying here is paying for it themsekves... more

Pros: - Service is EXCELLENT at this hotel. They know how to treat business customers down to the T: special requests, longer hours in the executive lounge, special meals, 24 hour gym - Immediate cabs in peak times: the strand has a contract with the cab companies. So, cabs will come even during the peak hours 8-10AM. Meaning no reservations... more
