Ideal for a city visit.
A lovely well kept hotel ideally based in the centre of the city, near to the train station and lively restaurants and bars.

Would stay here again
Clean, friendly, comfortable, right smack in the middle of Helsinki. The room's ceiling was 2 times higher than most hotels!

Stayed here for 3 nights, and for the price I paid, this hotel truly exceeded my expectations. The central bus stop is right in front of the hotel, and the train station is just a 1–2 minute walk away. It’s also conveniently located near all the major tourist sights. The room was very nice, clean, and comfortable, and the breakfast buffet was decent. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel!

Great Location and comfort.
Our stay was better than expected. It's a very short walk from the train station and they were very helpful. Beautiful hotel. The breakfast was worth staying for. Really good food that was the right temp and again the staff did anything asked. Whenever I go back to Helsinki I WILL be staying here again.

Recommended
Location was great, we walked to most of the places we wanted to visit; only downside Uber doesn’t have an exact pin, so I had to message them everytime to pick us from the hotel entrance. Check-in and out could be done online and our room was ready at 3pm (even though usual check-in is 4pm and we didn’t land till past 4). Leaving the hotel just meant dropping off the keycards too. Superior room was spacious and bed was comfortable. I was expecting a bathtub as listed, but there was only a rain shower. We only housekept our room alternate days, yet they left our used tea cups unwashed, so that was a little unpleasant. The common sauna was wonderful though with fresh towels, shower amenities and lockers. Gym was well equipped. Breakfast was quite the spread, but the same everyday. I only had it for 3 days and the scrambled eggs were yummy, so no complaints.

Great central location, really nice hotel
Such a great location and the staff were super friendly and helpful. The breakfast was pretty good, although it’s such a massive hotel with such little space to sit abe eat. The room was really clean and decorated nicely and the bed was so comfy. The only thing missing for me was a kettle in the room - it would have been nice to have a hot drink back in the room after such a cold day. But other than that it was brilliant.

Great central location. Right next to the central train station where there’s easy access to trams, metros and buses. Rooms are clean, great breakfast. Theres no coffee maker/hot water kettle or teas/coffee in the rooms. You have to ask the front desk and they can provide kettles/teas etc. great hotel and service

Comfortable clean stay
My stay at the Scandic Grand Central Helsinki was wonderful. I was between a flight from Helsinki and a train to Rovaniemi and it was so conveniently close to where you can get the train from the city to the airport and all the longer trains, both at the Central Station. It was close to great dining and drink options but tucked off the beaten path so there was no noise. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The bathroom was clean and well appointed. The only thing was breakfast was only decent and it was very crowded but it was included so it worked. I would recommend this hotel for anyone coming to Helsinki for a night or for a longer trip.
