I visited here for a couple of nights at the height of winter, February 2012. The hotel is close to the city centre, but if it's cold and you haven't been before, it might be worth getting a taxi to find it. The Helka is spartan with a pine forest theme, but underneath the IKEA-type styling it provides a decent... More

The room was comfortable with perfect lighting..!! The staff of the hotel is very friendly. The breakfast is just perfect. The location of the hotel is awesome..I had a wonderful time having beer sitting outside the hotel at night where there are a few tables kept..So serene and so peaceful..Simply Splendid!! More

We have stayed in most of the big, international brand hotels in Helsinki over the years but this was the first time in a smaller, independant hotel. And what a really nice surprise it was. Ok, not such a great surprise as there are so many good reviews alread on Tripadvisor for it but this is a great place to... More

We spent a couple of days in Helsinki with my significant other and spent a night in Helka. We really enjoyed our stay and wished we had had a chance to stay longer. The 6th floor room was quiet, clean, comfortable and cosy with little luxury of a private steam sauna. Stylish furniture, good space to move around, very comfortable... More

Helka is very nice hotel, great service, good breakfast and lovely rooms (my room had a private sauna, which was very nice on a rainy August night). Everyone at the hotel was very friendly, ready and willing to offer help with whatever was needed. Rooms were very comfortable and clean, even though room faced a street it was still very... More

We stayed at the Helka Hotel 6 nights. It is centrally located, free wifi in the lobby, quiet rooms due to double glazing on the windows. Breakfast buffet food is diverse and bountiful. There are one or two bicycles for rent, tables outdoors along the sidewalk for an evening drink, free sauna on the top floor. More

This 3-star jewel could very well be the best hotel I've ever stayed in. I've enjoyed here facilities that even some 4-star hotels didn't have - sauna, digital TV with internet, etc. The room I stayed in, despite overlooking a backyard, was very modern, fully-equipped and I simply loved the big poster of a mountain landscape on the ceiling! Everything... More
