Stayed here for a night having been up In Ivalo for a few days. Great base to explore the city, not far to walk from the station, close to shops, port and super indoor market place. Room was clean, spacious and quiet with really comfy bed. No tea making facilities in room but didn’t matter for 1 night. Super choice for breakfast, the salmon was amazing. Asked for recommendations for dinner and had a super meal in Savotta only 10 minutes walk away.

Dear 77surreyhills, Thank you for your stay at Hotel Fabian and sharing your experience. We were delighted to have you as our guest! It is a heartwarming to hear that you enjoyed your time as our guest. It was rewarding for us to hear that you’ve enjoyed the treats from our kitchen and especially enjoyed the room as well as the comfy bed. A kettle and a tea set are included in the equipment of our style and lux rooms. It was very gratifying to read that you found the location suitable and that you got to know what Helsinki has to offer even during your short visit. It was our pleasure to be able to recommend restaurant Savotta to you. I am happy to hear that their food also met your expectations. I hope that you had a wonderful trip also in Lapland! When you next visit Helsinki, we would be glad to welcome you back! Best regards, Kristian Kotonen Hotel Fabian

Hotel's Favourite
I stayed in hotel Fabian July 2022, and it was a lovely experience. The location of the hotel was great, however there currently is large scale construction opposite the hotel. I was generally up and away by the time the construction started so it didn’t bother me in the morning, and the soundproofing of the building was adequate. The breakfast included in the room was lovely, with fresh fruit, smoothies and juices. It felt like a healthy breakfast with a good variety to choose from. I used the mini fridge during my stay, which is on the pricey side, as are all establishments in Helsinki city centre (All prices are clearly stated in the room, though) - if you want to buy cheaper alcohol there is a Alko shop next to Hotel Fabian. There is also a grocery story just next to the hotel, on the side of Kasarmitori. The hotel is also very close to all the sights one would want to visit, such as Esplandinpuisto, Kauppatori - where boats leave to Korkeasaari (Zoo) and Soumenlinna (military fortress island). Senaatin Tori is also close, where you can see the famous Tuomionkirkko church. Electric scooters are readily available and you can also quickly get to sites like the famous Oodi Library. On my final day I was very hungover and the staff kindly arranged for late check-out, and the service was friendly - with everyone being able to accommodate me speaking English. Apologies to the two young girls in the morning for having to deal with my very hungover checkout, haha! Thanks for the stay, I will probably stay here again next time I visit Helsinki :) I forgot to take photos of the room, but this is one showing the nice design in the entrance and large mirrors, and a good amount of storage in the cupboards - the room also had a desk and mirror in front of it which was useful for doing one’s hair, the bathroom also had a plug for hair styling equipment and had a hair dryer available.…

One of our best hotel stays. The staff are friendly and helpful, especially the housekeeping who went out of their way and the breakfast person who was so skilled. The room was totally quiet, and the beds were not too soft/not too hard. The breakfast was amazing with lots of healthy fresh choices for everyone. The location is perfect for walking all around central Helsinki. Highly recommend this hotel.

This hotel is conveniently located four blocks from the Esplanade in this highly-walkable city. The room was spacious, quiet, comfortable, and well-appointed. The bathroom was highly functional and sized for ease of movement. The standard European breakfast is available in a small room with more seating available in the courtyard. As a first-time visitor to this city, this hotel exceeded my expectations.

Highly recommend the Fabian, comfortable large rooms with exceptional bathroom and presented spotlessly clean throughout our 3 night stay. Excellent breakfast with high quality ingredients and freshly prepared. Staff were very efficient and friendly. Good location near the harbour, parks and the market square but was also quiet which we liked very much. no need to get a tram or bus pass as everything was in walking distance for us.

This was not our first stay at the Hotel Fabian but we found that it was still the same in terms of excellent accommodation and service. Perfect location in the heart of Helsinki it is an easy walk to the Esplanade through the quiet backstreets. The hotel staff were on their game and extremely helpful. The breakfast provides a good start to the day with a wide variety of foods. Our room was spotless and cleaning team very discreet. No traffic or people noise at night. My wife and our have our favourite boutique hotels in various capital cities and the Fabian wins in Helsinki. We will definitely visit again.

The hotel is conveniently situated near restaurants, the waterfront, sights, shops and within walking distance of the train station. Our room was very comfortable, spacious and well presented in a modern style. The staff were courteous. We thought the breakfast was superb with lots to choose from and items efficiently replenished. On our first morning breakfast was extremely busy and we had to eat in the hotel reception area. We were thankful that that was a "one-off" and the others days the breakfast area was much quieter with plenty of seats available.

Dear 818maryannb, Thank you for your stay at Hotel Fabian. We were delighted to have you as our guest. I would like to thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We are very pleased to read your feedback. It is a delight to hear that you enjoyed your time as our guest. It was very gratifying to read that the location was close to the services you used on your trip and the room pleased you. It is our great pleasure to see that you’ve enjoyed the treats from our kitchen. The breakfast is staggered so that our guests would be evenly distributed over breakfast and it would not get crowded. This is why we are sorry to hear that during your first day we could not successful enough avoid traffic jams. Because of limited customer places, the set times have had to be kept tight and there is hardly transition time to the next set. This causes some of the coverages to stretch without purpose or some customers to come to the coverage a little too early. Best regards, Kristian Kotonen Hotel Fabian

We could not have asked for anything more. The hotel is walking distance from the ferry station (from Stockholm), and close to Market Square and other attractions. We upgraded for a larger room, and was surprised how large it was. Very clean, bed really comfortable. In spite of it being full for mothers day, it was very quiet. The breakfast buffet was very good. One morning we had to catch an early ferry to Talin, and they packed us a breakfast to take.

The hotel is great. Staff very friendly and helpful. They go out of the way to assist you if you need anything. They will order you cars and can arrange tickets or whatever you need. The reception area has a nice seating area for a late night drink. Only three blocks from he Market Square and tram stops. So much to do in the area. Rooms clean and neat.
