GLO Hotel Kluuvi

A nice hotel in the heart of Helsinki offering clean a nicely decorated rooms. Tramline- and bus stops are outside the hotel and the metro station is just a few hundred meters away. Rooms facing the street Aleksanterinkatu are a bit noisy due to the tramlines. To avoid such disturbances choose a room on the other side.

Lovely upscale hotel with a few minor minuses. I booked the cheapest room for us which was spacious and I adored the layout. There was a separate toilet and behind the tv and closets there was a lovely bathroom (without toilet). Good thinking, since there is plenty of space for doing your make up and hair and you can also take long baths without interruptions. There was a wonderful summer campaign with Magnum ice cream which meant that you had free ice cream. What a great idea! Then the minuses: horrible down pillows and blankets (I am allergic and I got another pillow, but there was still the blanket which I ended up taking away and slept only with the sheet) and the horrible juice served at breakfast which was made out of concentrate… This sort of thing you only ran into in the cheaper hotels at the Mediterranean at least in my younger days…

Great location, halfway between central train station and Esplanadi. Many useful tram lines stop right outside the hotel on Aleksinteratu. Very good breakfast, very friendly service. Our *only* complaint was the room itself. The quality, comfort, and decor were very good, but the layout was awkward, very different to the photos provided for "smart double." In particular, the TV was mounted at an angle on the wall at the foot of the bed, with very little room between the bed and wall. We bumped our shoulders or head into the tv almost every day, trying to get to the other side of the bed. While this could have been specific to our room, I would not be comfortable recommending the 'smart' rooms except to single travelers. For couples, or for longer stays, the modest charge for the next larger size is well worth it.

Asking things for email and getting positive answer of those things from Hotel Salesoffice. Hotel Glo Restaurant was not open even if they say so and second thing I was asking at my room Temperatura it’s getting cooling +21 Celsius. That’s if it’s too hot outside, that I can go room getting cooling down with my dog. Room was like a sauna, 3 calling receptions, getting service man and so on. Change room, same thing. Next morning pay bill, no one apologize us. I have everything what I ask in email, and they say yes. Writing feedback hotel manager says that next time get another hotel. Ps: I booked first comfor room then upgraded de luxe paying 20€more and 15 € for pet. Mr Jyrki Helminen

We started our stay great with good customer service from the front desk in the morning and had very good experience first. But the person working front desk at night was very rude and didn’t first believe we were staying at the hotel. This ruined our mood quite bit and also check-out didn’t go perfectly either. Room was beautiful and room service fairly cheap. Overall stay was good but we were left with sour taste in our mouth.
