Such a great location and the staff were super friendly and helpful. The breakfast was pretty good, although it’s such a massive hotel with such little space to sit abe eat. The room was really clean and decorated nicely and the bed was so comfy. The only thing missing for me was a kettle in the room - it would have been nice to have a hot drink back in the room after such a cold day. But other than that it was brilliant.

Great central location. Right next to the central train station where there’s easy access to trams, metros and buses. Rooms are clean, great breakfast. Theres no coffee maker/hot water kettle or teas/coffee in the rooms. You have to ask the front desk and they can provide kettles/teas etc. great hotel and service

My stay at the Scandic Grand Central Helsinki was wonderful. I was between a flight from Helsinki and a train to Rovaniemi and it was so conveniently close to where you can get the train from the city to the airport and all the longer trains, both at the Central Station. It was close to great dining and drink options but tucked off the beaten path so there was no noise. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The bathroom was clean and well appointed. The only thing was breakfast was only decent and it was very crowded but it was included so it worked. I would recommend this hotel for anyone coming to Helsinki for a night or for a longer trip.

We have stayed here previously and the overall impressions made us choose this hotel again and again. The cleanliness, proximity to the city centre, modern rooms and the food is excellent. Highly recommended.

The check-in staff Ms Tali was very efficient and courteous. It took about 5 minutes and I got my. Room key card. When I needed a heater in my room, the staff got me one.
Ms Vilma managed to contact and spoke to the taxi who fetched me earlier to the hotel to cancel the airport booking trip as i do not speak Finnish.

The Central hotel is next to the train station in the heart of Helsinki. It is a beautiful old hotel. Our room was very comfortable and the breakfast fantastic!

Overall a great sleep because of the good bed, bedding, quiet and dark. The buffet breakfast was just amazing, especially those cinnamon buns. I did find a lack of amenities in the room, no coffee maker or kettle not even a Do not disturb sign, etc.

The room was spacious and the breakfasts outstanding. However, I am mystified by Scandic's eco-friendly light-touch cleaning regime: although I appreciate cleaners can be heavy-handed with all sorts of cleaning products I can't see what prevented them from washing a mug, wiping down the tea/coffee area and replenishing tea coffee and milk as they were in on a daily basis. Reception did help out from supplies downstairs. Beds were never very carefully made and the day before we left sheets were chaged rather wastefully. It was all rather contradictory. We wouldn't want a guest in a room in our own home to feel neglected and that is the impression we received.
All rather a pity as it is a wonderful building in the very best possible position for a visit to the capital.

The hotel room was fantastic: convenient, beautifully decorated and calm. However, the building is luke a maze, especially if you need accessible lifts or ranps. The breakfast area was chaotic. There was no flow and hotel guests were going back and forth in a cramped space.

This is a massive hotel right beside the train station in Helsinki. It's an old historic hotel from what we could tell. Hallways are dark but unique with doorways leading to each room. The location is good. The staff are friendly. The included breakfast is decent. We stayed in the Superior room. The beds were comfortable.

A historic building thoughtfully restored, retaining many architectural features from its former use as offices for the rail station next door. If you like historic buildings, it is an added bonus. A guide leaflet is provided for a self conducted building tour, which is worth doing.
We stayed for 8 days so were offered a ground floor room overlooking the pretty central courtyard for quietness. The room was indeed very quiet for the whole stay. However, also read reviews from others as quietness depends on room situation. (Some overlook rail tracks / occasional events in courtyard).
We chose a basic room, which was still very comfortable but lacked desk space. Mini bar and safe were provided, but no kettle (provided in more deluxe rooms). This might have been inconvenient had we not been very near to the reception tea and coffee machine for guests. Room cleanliness and room service was excellent except for the rug which needed a trip to one of Helsinki's carpet washing platforms (some other reviews mention this). Shower pressure was best I've had in a hotel and bath filled very fast, though this may vary as you rise higher in the hotel (ours was ground floor).
Breakfast was good, varied and plentiful.
Hotel position for transport is excellent with station, bus and tram stops only minutes away.
Staff were very helpful and friendly for the whole stay.
We both decided we will definitely book this hotel again, in spite of the few minor niggles mentioned.

Such a wonderful stay at Grand Central Helsinki! All stuff are super nice. Very central of Helsinki, so transportation is easy, walkable to many places. My hubby said gym has everything he needed.
I booked “classic room” & the room was spacious and very quiet. I requested the room with bathtub & there was a bathtub in the room.
I think everybody mentioned, but the breakfast was another highlight of this hotel. So much options. I tried not to eat too much, but it was impossible!! There is a microwave the guest can use while we stay (not in the room. breakfast area) the kettle is not in the room, but you can ask at the front desk to borrow. There is a locked storage room next to the reception. Guest themselves are in/out, but there is always a stuff right next to the storage room. If small bags, you can store it in locked locker in the storage room. I didn’t feel unsafe over there. Only thing, there is no self laundry machine in the hotel or laundry mat near by (walking distance kind), but we managed our 5 nights stay here. Both my husband and I had really good time at the hotel, and we would stay again if we are lucky enough to come back to Helsinki one day!

This is a beautiful hotel with a fabulous breakfast included every day. Right near the city center. It is basically connected to the train station - which makes it convenient. My room overlooked the courtyard and was quiet. I enjoyed the hotel very much.
