Every time an Agoda customer checks out of a hotel we send them an email asking them to write a review of their stay. This is the only way reviews can be submitted. Every review must then be approved by our content team before being posted on the Agoda website. Therefore, unlike many other travel sites, ALL Agoda reviews are certified and genuine.
We want you to pay the lowest possible rate for your room. If you have reserved a hotel room through Agoda, and then show us that you could book the same room, for the same dates, at a lower rate, that is viewable and bookable on another website, within 48 hours of booking your room with us, we will either match that rate or beat it.

Good Localization and nice breakfast localization (10th floor), I like also sauna and fact that hotel has nice pub just on ground floor. Very nice toilet and bathroom

food selection as for this price is relatively poor in my opinion. I've seen bigger selection in hotels for half price. I do not know how other levels but last room I got was supposed to be non smoking. There was no ashtrays - but it was stinking this typical smell. I think I got it in non renovated part or something like that.

I like to stay in this hotel mainly because of localization. It is in heart of Helsinki and much cheaper than Sokos Presidenti. Although for this price I would rather expect modern, non smelling room rather that what I have got there. Service is very good, everyone speaks fluent english, nice bar with possiblity to eat something on ground floor (if someone likes MC Donalds 10 meters on left - when leaving front doors). Saunas are nicely organized so this is very good point of the hotel. One more think I've noticed is that elevators are small (2-3 persons is max) - sometimes resulting in longer queues.

Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : if you have time for shopping - aprox 200 m from hotel there is Stockman shopping centre. This is giant. 8 levels and you can find there everything, namely everything what you can imagine at your home. Realy nice place to spent some lazy afternoon.

Location, interior, services were excellent. I will use this hotel again, but I would give up my private balcony to avoide noise from the restaurant.

Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Very close to Ateneum. It opens at 9 when other museums and shops are still closed. And almost nobody is there this early. It is a special feeling to be in the empty art museum.

None

The hotel is conveniently located near the train station and close to the center, making it easier to go places for lunch or dinner, especially since the low temperature in Finland is appreciated that the accommodation is close to this such sites. In geenral the hotel is fine.

location, staff

Interior in cold rooms, service in restaurants - Poor!

Hotel Reviews Sokos Vaakuna: Location - excellent, the staff - not bad, intererer goodies leaves much to be desired, as in the old 70-ies of the Soviet Union )))))))))) very cold in the rooms!

Travel tip : did nothing just walked and watched the city
