Hotel Holiday Inn City Centre Helsinki *

Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A A

The hotel has a very good location in the heart of the city, right next to the main station. Therefore, it is very easily accessible by public transport. Taxi is the rush hour in particular a bit harder, tip: in the evening already in order a taxi.
the rooms are functional and screen flat and minibar equipped. Wireless internet access is very slow, so not suitable for streaming tv.
The restaurant is the only point of criticism: there are many good restaurants in the city center nearby and I have the impression, that the management of the hotel does not accept this challenge. I was there several times in the past few months for dinner in the restaurant (was just too lazy/tired, to go out), but the quality of the food was very disappointed.
