    limited accessibility

    The Original Sokos Hotel Vaakuna Helsinki boasts stunning mid-century architecture that enchants with its vintage charm. The large windows offer breathtaking views of the city, and the hotel’s spacious layout makes navigating easy for seniors like me.

    More accessible options for elevators would be helpful.

    cozy atmosphere
    refreshing sauna
    slightly noisy street

    I recently stayed here for two nights in a Standard King Room and loved the cozy atmosphere after enjoying a refreshing sauna session. The breakfast spread was pretty decent and a great way to start the day, although the coffee could have been a bit stronger. Overall, it was a fantastic experience despite a slightly noisy street outside. definitely try to grab a courtyard room if you can! 😊

    spacious room
    excellent breakfast
    dirty glass
    slow tablet
    expensive drinks

    The room was spacious for our family, and the playroom on the 10th floor was a hit with the kids. Breakfast featured an excellent spread, keeping everyone happy. However, there were issues with a dirty glass and a slow tablet that hindered our experience. Additionally, the drink prices on the rooftop terrace were steep, and the breakfast area had long lines for coffee and juice, which was inconvenient.

    ideal location
    amazing breakfast
    crowded dining
    tricky elevator

    The hotel boasts an ideal location next to the railway station and is clean with spacious rooms. Breakfast was amazing, but the crowded dining area made it a bit chaotic. Some amenities like the tablet in the room were not up to par, and the elevator situation was tricky for families.

    Beautiful hotel but with minor bumps

    We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful hotel. The staff was friendly, but we encountered delays in room readiness and issues with the amenities. A highlight was the on-site restaurant’s vibrant atmosphere. Future guests should clarify availability of toiletries upon check-in to avoid surprises!

    Fine, fine, fine.

    The amazing views from the roof gave us a panoramic sight of the city Our Superior Queen Room was spacious and adorned with vintage decor that seamlessly blended with modern comforts. Plus, the legendary Finnish sauna here was an authentic way to unwind after a day of exploring!

    delicious breakfast
    inconsistent wi-fi
    lack of housekeeping

    Overall, my stay at Sokos Hotel was enjoyable. The location was perfect for business, allowing easy access to meetings and city attractions. The Superior Queen Room was spacious with excellent views and a comfortable bed, contributing to a restful stay. The breakfast was a highlight, featuring a variety of delicious options including fresh pastries and high-quality coffee.
