The Holiday Inn is literally at city centre -- it is right next to central railway station. We were a bit worried if the central location might mean noisy nights, but the sound insulation seemed decent. The hotel itself is rather new, one of the glass-steel buildings that are an all too common sight in Helsinki these days. The rooms were nice and clean. Wired Internet was included. The reception staff was polite although a bit impersonal. We asked if we could get our room early and the answer was "no" without even checking. Only when we told that we had called and checked a few minutes ago did the receptionist actually check that there indeed was a room for us.
We did not try the breakfast buffet -- it wasn't included in the standard price, and at a whopping 18 euros / person, we thought we'd rather spend our money at some cosier place.
I would recommend this place if you need just a place to spend a night, but for longer stays I'd choose a place with a nicer atmosphere.
Good location, nice rooms.
A bit impersonal.
- Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : The museum of modern art, Kiasma, is very close.
