Shuttle to and from airport. Fine dining. Reasonable price. Clean. Friendly staff. Do your booking on-line. It saves a lot of money over what you are quoted at the desk. I was flying to Helsinki for a conference at the University of Helsinki and booked my room in advance based on price and proximity to the airport for a late arrival. I liked it well enough that I booked a room for my very early morning return to the airport at the end of my stay in Finland.
Travel tip : Make your reservation on-line. I was concerned about booking a non-smoking room, only to find all rooms are non-smoking. Another plus.

Very clean, lots of space, Good breakfast and a Free airport shuttle bus to and from the airport. No Tea/coffee making facilites in the room, no bath. This is a cheap, clean and friendly hotel best suited for the business traveller as a stop off due to its location. Very clean, lots of space, Good breakfast and a Free airport shuttle bus to and from the airport. If you want to go into Helsinki city centre you can get a blue1 bus from the airport for around 3.80 Euro each way or a Finnair bus for 5.90 Euro each way. It will take 35-40 minutes by bus to get to the city or a Taxi will take 20 minutes but cost around 30-35 Euro.
Shopping Tip : Jumbo superstore only 10 minutes walk away where you can buy food, shop for gifts and eat out.

convenient at the airport This type hotel is good for what it is: quick access to the airport. Although it is not isolated. A huge shopping center is close by on walking distance. Transport to both airport and city is ok.

This hotel is ideal if you are traveling on a budget, business or just an overnight stay. It is conveniently located near the airport.
Helsinki city centre is quite far away, 35/40 minutes away by bus which you can take at the airport costing as little as 4 Euro's each way using Blue Line Bus or 5.90 Euro's using Finnair bus. Taxi's can be expensive 35-38 Euro's each way.

The good point is they have free buses frequently(early morning to the middle of the night). If you take a taxi, you need (about)12euro from the airport to the hotel.

I needed an overnight accommodation to catch an early morning flight, so this hotel is highly suitable for that. The decoration in the rooms reminded me more of an youth hostel than a star rated hotel. The breakfast was great with a large variety in everything you can possibly desire.
Hotel Feature Tip : Don't stay there if you have to catch a flight next day and want to do some sightseeing the previous day, because the distance is just forbidding such endeavor.

This hotel is good if you want to be near the airport and with the free shuttle bus is convenient. But expect to take lots of buses if you want to go into Helsinki city (30 minutes by bus).
