Helsinki hotels near Presidentinlinna

Pros: The staff of Hotel Kamp made the experience wonderful! They were welcoming and friendly, patiently explaining proper procedure for using the sauna, providing extra robes and towels. The sauna itself was spotless and soothing, with the staff quietly appearing every few minutes to remove soiled towels and drinking glasses, and refill the complimentary water and gloggi pitchers. Our deluxe room was also spotless and beautiful. When we returned to our room after supper, the staff had come in to turn down the beds. They also folded the clothes we had tossed on the bed, laid cloths and Kamp slippers next to the bedside where we would first step in the morning. Candy and a water bottle was on each side of the bed as well. Even the trash container in the bathroom had been recently emptied and the first sheet of toilet paper had been refolded to a point. It showed an attention to detail I have never experienced in a hotel before. In addition we dined for our Christmas Eve dinner in the Kamp Brasserie. The food was exceptional, the smoked salmon delicious, the goose leg tender and succulent! For dessert they accommodated my request to switch desserts from the prearranged Christmas menu to another selection, my favorite Snow Egg. Overall, the dining experience was relaxed, unhurried, quiet with an occasional live entertainment of Christmas carols. We had a wonderful time. Next year I intend to fly my sons and their wives to Finland to spend Christmas with me at the Hotel Kamp!

Pros: The hotel is beautiful, right downtown. You can easily walk to the old district and see the cathedrals, and there are many great restaurants nearby. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, helping us find stuff to see and arranging transportation. The room itself was very comfortable.

Pros: Good brekfast and location

Pros: I was able to get a harbor view room which was very nice. The location is about a 20 minute walk south of City Centre train & bus station and tram #6 and #9 stop close to the hotel from City Centre. The room is functional, clean and typical for Europe. The hotel is secure, requiring key card access at all time to room hallways and elevators. The breakfast was one of the better ones in my experience. A good selection of cold and hot items. It is more than the usual continental style selection. Breakfast was included in my room rate. The room is a nice size with a nice bathroom set-up.

Pros: The Staff (reception and restaurant and cleaning personnel) was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant had new menu and the food was delicious. The cake buffet is an excellent idea and good value for money.

Pros: Great central location close to downtown and port if you plan to take the ferry for the day trip to Tallinn. Staff were very friendly and courteous.

Pros: Very basic room for price paid. Sheets were dirty, bathroom hadn't been cleaned properly. Only one extra pillow for a twin room. Central location but other than that not much to offer.
