Best Hotels near Magia, Helsinki

The room was not too big but we didn’t have any big luggage so it was fine, and it was nice too. However, we discovered a black gel nail on the bathroom floor, but since the floor pattern was stone with black, white and grey, so it is understandable that the room attendant missed that spot.

Given that accommodation in Helsinki comes at a price, the Scandic Kallio represents decent value for money for a city break in this intriguing city. With a stop for four tram lines outside the hotel, it is easily accessible on arrival from the ferry port and railway station, and other parts of the city. Staff on reception were friendly, welcoming and efficient. Our room provided a comfortable bed with all necessary furnishings even if the bathroom and shower facilities were limited for space. The highlight was the excellent buffet breakfast which provided a wide range of cooked and cold items to suit all tastes. Within walking range of the hotel are a variety of bars and restaurants, with the Asian style establishments providing the best value.

No complaints. On the contrary! Found the breakfast room cozy and simply loved my room. The staff were all very polite. Excellent city travel options (for instance, who does not love trams?). Don’t miss The Hakaniemi square (tori) itself, with a market hall and similar commerce outside. (These days - so what if the cleaning personnel were not all working the same way.)

I had a very good sleep in this hotel. My room on 5th floor was facing the backyard of the Expo and Convention Centre, so the view was not even close to beautiful, but room was very quiet. Thanks to the efficient air conditioning, it was easy to get my room to cool enought for a good sleep. However, I would have preferred a softer bed and pillows. The room was clean and it had everything I needed for one night stay. Breakfast buffet was nice, nothing surprising though. The service was ok. As a Finn travelling in Finland I think the staff should be able to speak fluent Finnish, for example to to ensure the service level of elderly people. Unfortunately this wasn't the case with every customer service person in Holiday Inn, some spoke only a few words in Finnish or just didn't want to use the language. The location of the hotel is central and it's super easy to get to Tripla Mall or Pasila railway station.

Modernised Holiday Inn which was one of the cheapest mainstream chain hotels in Helsinki. The rooms were clean & relatively quiet if you’re facing away from the busy highway behind the hotel. Breakfast was really good and had good healthy choices including gluten free section. The hotel is not in the city centre but only 2 metro stops from the central station. It is then only a 5 minute walk to the hotel. It is also a 15-20 minute walk to the ferry terminal where you can catch the 2hr ferry ride to Tallinn which hold def recommend you doing if you have a spare day in Helsinki.

The Folks Hotel Konepaja is located in Konepaja, a residential and commercial area near the city center. The whole area used to be a railway engineering workshop, the biggest employer in Helsinki. Now the hotel is renovated into three buildings; the oldest is 100 years old and the newest from the 1980*s. I've stayed in a Loft Room and also in a Superior Single room. Both were extraordinary experiences, but as a single traveler, I preferred the Superior Single. It's probably the most beautiful hotel single room, more spacious than an ordinary hotel room, airy and very stylish. The restaurant in a hotel building is not an ordinary hotel restaurant, but privately owned and managed by three well-known restaurant celebrities in Finland. I haven't had dinner there, but breakfast is very good, not too many alternatives, but everything looked and tasted hand-made. There is also a beautiful roof terrace where you can see the whole Konepaja area and also amusement park Linnanmäki. I recommend The Folks Hotel Konepaja for foodies and lovers, the whole place is full of romantic opportunities. When Linnanmäki opens it doors in spring, family rooms are a great option not only because of near location, but the layout of the rooms where the whole family can stay in the same room.

We arrived late in the evening from Berlin and had next day May Day lunch with our friends in Helsinki city center. The hotel is conveniently located at Helsinki Central Station. So there is easy transportation by train from the airport. Our plane landed at 21:55 and already at 22:50, we entered our hotel room. Trains via Myyrmäki arrive at this side of the station where the hotel is located. We had booked a standard room with my IHG points. Because of my IHG Platinum Elite status, we were upgraded to a top-floor standard room. Previously these rooms were executive rooms with bathrobes and better toiletries. Not anymore. So there has been some downgrade concerning the room equipment. The rooms are not very spacious but practical. The views from the top-floor rooms are great. Breakfast is never included in the point reservations at IHG hotels unless there is a lounge where you have access. At this hotel, breakfast costs 21 euros per person. It is slightly better than the usual Scandic or Sokos Hotel breakfast in Finland. So maybe it is worth the price.

We travelled as a family in August 2022. We had already book a Junior Suite and my top tier of IHG Status was not really recognised except for the breakfast. There was no room upgrade offered nor were there any extra amenities for the room or even a welcome letter. We did have access to The Club Lounge which had limited breakfast choices and then a decent evening buffet between 6pm and 8pm. The lounge was rarely staffed and the door was left open so I am unsure if all those in the lounge enjoying the beer and wine had full entitlement. It would have been nice if the desk in the lounge had been manned at certain times. The staff we met were all most friendly. The breakfast on the ground floor could not be faulted. Service was polite and most efficient. Cooked eggs were available on request. Vegans had a wide choice and this part of the hotel ran well. The hotel boasted the IHG Clean Promise. There were areas that needed attention. When I advised staff that the lifts were dirty and used glasses were in corridors this was attended to promptly. Moving forward the hotel needs to promote itself better. There are empty poster display cabinets everywhere. They could be used to promote the health club, restaurants and room service. If visiting the Hotel we recommend the restaurant Kuu which is opposite the side entrance of the Hotel. Booking is advised.

The hotel is a bit old, but the room is spacious. We can eat in the restaurant on the first floor in the evening. The service is good and the breakfast is rich. Since it didn't look particularly good, I looked at it and took pictures. The transportation is relatively close to the Central Railway Station and major attractions: the Red Church and the White Church are within walking distance and you can go shopping. On the return trip, you can choose to take a taxi back to the hotel.

There was someone at the counter until early in the morning. The two single beds in the small room were very big and very hot. It was very comfortable to take a shower as soon as it rained outside. The sound insulation was pretty good. The breakfast was delicious. Check-out was only at 12 o'clock. You can store it in the room. There is a luggage room for luggage. It is only five minutes away from the train station. It is convenient to go anywhere.
