Clarion Hotel® Helsinki

Had high expectations of this hotel but it left us with mixed feelings. The room on 13 th had magnificient views over harbour and city. The room itself, though superior by defitition, was average and not very clean. We slept on a lousy 50 cent pillow beside a 5000€ Eames lounge chair! It is great that the hotel has invested in quality design furniture but in contrast it revealed the shabby and badly finished quality of the actual building. It is incomprehensible that Clarion concept provides guests with endless and very loud synthetic pop music. The volume of it is nothing but aural pollution. The swimming pool on the top is great but how can one relax if you feel you are stuck in Starbucks? For the price, Helsinki has far better options.

The hotel is brand new, and you can tell! The reception staff is very responsive you your requests. Even if the hotel is full of guests, you don't hear the noise into your room. The beds are comfy with super-sized pillows. The breakfast is delicious, we would have loved to have more options for bread. Anyway, we did get our stomachs full, and a beautiful morning light was shining into the breakfast room. It was quite stuffed there around 9-9.30AM, so if you enjoy a quiet restaurant, try to go as early as you can. Make sure you dip in the pool or have a workout upstairs on the 16th floor. It was a nice experience, would have loved to stay there longer!

The hotel is not cheap but it deserves it! The rooms are nice, well furnished,even the bathroom is fashionable:). I asked for the nice view and it was awesome! If you would like to enjoy the panorama of the city, welcome to the bar on the seventeenths floor. Perfect breakfast, good location, very helpful and friendly staff make your staying enjoyable.

Stayed for the entire week and loved everything including the beautiful view from both our room & the sky bar, the outstanding breakfast to start our day, the sauna and their overall friendly staff. Was a true reflection of this lovely city. Location was perfect for our excursion to Tallinn and close enough for everything else. Would definitely recommend staying here and thanks for the wonderful time.

we went there for the sunset because we saw a lot of beautif pics of this amezing view from the bar. The view was good actually, but the cocktails ( no alchool inside) and the service not at all. The staff needs to be improved if you want to be high class sky bar. Even the cocktail was like a juice.
