The rooms are clean, fresh and modern, with tea and coffee making facilities, and a minibar big enough to stash some of our own food.

Amazing location and value”
the holiday inn helsinki city centre is a nice and relatively new hotel that is both clean and comfortable, and provides good value for money. the best feature about this hotel is its location. situated right next to helsinki station, it is steps from the drop off point for the finnair aiport bus from helsinki-vantaa airport. the hotel is also walking distance from senaatintori, as well as most other major helsinki attractions.
Great stay at Holiday Inn Helsinki City Centre ”
I have made correct decision choosing agoda website to book hotel in Helsinki- Holiday Inn Helsinki City Centre. Besides the user friendly website, I am happy with the good room rate. I enjoyed my stay at Holiday Inn City Center Helsinki.
Review for Hotel Indigo Boulevard”
Holiday Inn was under going renovation and transferred us to Hotel Indigo. Absolutely love Hotel Indigo. Newly opened, rooms were artistically designed, with shoes and Iittala glasses. Even the room glasses were Iittala and Arabia mugs. Very nice. Toiletries given were from Aveda, very nice. But would be better if the toilet floor had heat as we stayed during winter. Overall better hotel than Holiday Inn although same group. Location not as central, but still able to walk into city centre in about 15mins, if it's too cold, there is a tram station less than 5mins away, pretty convenient.
A kind Hotel in Helsinki”
This hotel is very clean. The sauna is very good. The staffs are very kind. The room is comfortable. Especially, shower room is very good. The cleaning survice is very good. The location of this hotel is good. We took the finnair bus from airport to Helsinki. Because the bus stop was in front of this hotel, we could find this hotel easily. We spend good time at this hotel in Helsinki. The restaurant in this hotel was very nice.
Great location with sauna”
It's right next to main train station of Helsinki. The Finnair bus station that goes to airport is right in front of the hotel. It takes about 25 minutes to airport. You can pay the fare to the bus driver as you get on the bus. It's right in the middle of Helsinki within walking distance. The room is modern, clean, nice bathtub, fast WIFI, staffs are friendly. It also has a nice clean cozy sauna. It's not mixed for men and women. It's all separated.
Wonderful Hotel”
I can strongly recommend this hotel to everyone. Its location is fantastic as its near most tourist attraction considering the fact that Helsinki is not a widely spread city. We can walk to many of the major destinations.... some 15 minutes to 25 minutes away. the staffs were friendly . The breakfast was great too.The shopping was only 5 to 10 mins walk.
Good Hotel in Helsinki”
This hotel is located in best position in Helsinki. We can take the train and bus easily. The train station is next to this hotel. The bus stop of Finnair bus ain in front of this hotel. So we could use the trains and buses many times in our staying in Finland. The staffs of this hotel are very kind. I was pleased to take the sauna in this hotel. The sauna room is very clean and confortable. I could get rid of my tiredness.
Central but impersonal”
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.
Center of the universe”
This was an excellent location for me as I was able to quickly do everything I wanted to do within a few minutes travel time from the hotel. Items on the menu were tasty and the staff were always helpful. I extended my stay because it felt like a logical choice and the staff helped me get done what needed to be finished. I would definitely stay again when next I visit Helsinki.
Good location”
I enjoyed my stay at Holiday Inn Helsinki City Centre Hotel, the room was comfortable, clean and a good size. We had a view into the city. I didn't use the hotel bar and restaurant as lots of options close by the hotel.
location”
Next to Central Railway Station. You can take the Finnair City Bus from Helsinki Airport Terminal 2, Platform 10 to the city. You will arrive at Central Railway Station, Eliel Square, Platform 30. The hotel is just in front of the bus terminal. One way will cost you 6.90euros & 30mins.
Exceptional”
Strategically located, very close to the Helsinki Central Station (easy access to/from airport) and walking distance to malls/convenient stores/attractions. Room was clean, equipped with a stable wifi connection. The hotel has a gym and sauna for guests.
Great location”
It's a nice hotel. Each room has free wi-fi. It's loacated in the heart of Helsinki which public transportation is easy to accessed for sight-seeing around Helsinki.
Awesome 1 night stay”
the location is superb. near train station and main bus station in Helsinki city. ( the terminal station for Finnair airport bus ) Great for a transit before catching next day flight.
Best location for city centre.”
right next door the the bus stop from the airport and the central railway station. this is a wonderful spacious quiet hotel especially considering its location. the sauna is inclusive of the price and well worth a visit. the room i had was large with an incredible view. if you are interested in the city centre with easy access to all facilities and easy access back to the hotel for a break i can unequivocally recommend this hotel.
Perfect location ”
Location was unbeatable. Steps away from the airport bus stop making airport transfers a Breeze. Airport was also located in The Central station area, giving guests various transport options. During my stay, I effortless utilised trams, metro and buses. There were several supermarkets and malls very close to the hotel as well. Oodi central library, Amos Rex were amongst some of the attractions in the area. Faultless location! Hotel itself was very spacious for Helsinki standards, room came equipped with a mini bar and bath tub. The stay would have been perfect if not for the strong sewer stench coming from the toilet.
A Need To Buck Up On Housekeeping!”
Location is awesome, just maybe 3-5 minutes walk from the high speed rail station (that’s if you are taking a train to Helsinki). However, there is a need to improve on the housekeeping. The housekeeper didn’t bother to throw away our used cutleries and food containers, didn’t refill our toiletries. It’s quite obvious that the whole room wasn’t clean up properly, just touched and go. They definitely didn’t change the sheets as the beds weren’t properly made. Only reasons why I would recommend would be the location and the friendliness of the staffs.
My favorite place to stay in Helsinki”
My most favorite place to stay in Helsinki, you step off the Finnair bus and step right in - awesome! This was the 3rd time and I'm sure won't be the last.
Great location”
Very nice location. It is located in front of Helsinki City Centre, and easy to go around for shopping and eating.
Great layover hotel for HEL airport... ”
Perfectly sited to use the frequent and efficient Finnair airport transport bus. The hotel is at the edge of the central station and is approx, 100 metres to walk from the hotel doors to the number 30 bus stand (for Finnair bus) - very convenient for those cold early starts (and MUCH cheaper than taxis, also with free wifi on the bus - €6.30 each way as of November 2014). Other than that, the hotel is well, it's another fairly bland Holiday Inn. The location makes it a great option if you fancy seeing some of Helsinki and getting away from the airport area.
