Crowne Plaza HELSINKI

Hotelli itsessään oli ok,mutta olin varannut ja MAKSANUT hotellihuoneen AAMUPALALLA enkä sitten sitä saanut.Olisi pitänyt erikseen ostaa aamupala joka oli tosi kallis.Mieheni kehui tämän hotellin aamupalaa ja sen takia valitsin kyseisen hotellin. Elikkä ensimmäinen ja viimeinen kerta kun varaan matkan netti matkatoimiston kautta ja myös ensimmäinen ja viimeinen kerta kun menen tähän hotelliin koska eiväy tulleet yhtään vastaan aamupala asiassa.

Hotelli oli kaikin puolin hyvä, mutta varatessa ei missään mainittu, ettei aamupala kuulu hintaan. Olen tottunut, että tämän tasoisen hotelliin hintaan se kuuluu. Yllätys oli lisäksi aamupalan hinta, 25€/henkilö, myös lapsilta! Onneksi edullisempia aamupalaa tarjoavia paikkoja oli paljon lähellä.

First thing about this hotel is the outside look, and the room is quite nice. A bit noisy since it's near the main road. Great location as this is one of the two sites you can get on a airport bus. One thing not quite pleasant is the the bed sheet is stained. Not quite the 4 star hotel in my opinion though.

Everything about my visit here was great. The people were especially helpful and attentive.

Excellent choix. La chambre spacieuse dispose de tout l'équipement nécessaire. Le personnel très discret répond cependant aux différentes attentes. Le plus de cet hôtel : son emplacement idéal pour Visiter Helsinki : 15 min à pied du centre ville et 2 min de l'arrêt du bus et tramway

Mannerheimintie is a major Helsinki artery with excelent tramway service. I visited in winter and arrived too late for the city tour; two hours of tramway fixed this. Two monster hotels sit side by side in Mannerheimintie: the Crowne Plaza and the Scandic. I stayed in the Crowne Plaza, wich has an imponent view, an entire (free for guests) floor with gym, pool, sauna, health shop, etc. The room had everything in it: a safe, minibar, wireless internet, a robe (for the sauna), toiletries, stationery, pens, etc. Buffet breakfast was impressive and you can order your fried eggs to the cook with no extra charge. I made dozens of inqiries to the staff (in winter, after six in the afternoon, it's all dark and very cold, so you shelter in the hotel). They were very helpful and polite. I usually like better smaller hotels, but wouldn't mind to go back to this one again.

The hotel is located very close to the tram line stop and quickly takes you into the heart of Helsinki (i.e., Center City) literally within a couple of minutes. The hotel rooms are very nice. I was pleasantly surprised. Internet speed is good and was complimentary during my stay. The hotel restaurant has a nice breakfast and very good dinner selection. I ate in a couple of times. The FinAir bus to the airport has a pick-up location right across the street and runs every 20 mins. Saved me a lot of money vs a cab ride. Definitely recommend this hotel if you are looking for something very nice, reaonably priced and conveniently located. Front desk staffs' service was not as good as my stay downtown at Hotel Kamp, but everything elase was awesome.

Friendly front desk staff, great work out area, prime location next to park. Room itself was on the smaller side. Well-worth the weekend price paid.

I like the location & the hotel,it was a great holiday.

While visiting Helsinki for a weekend visit you should spend a morning on Suomenlinna Island and Fortress. It is a UNESCO heritage site worthy of spending a morning. There are public and private ferries that go to the island from the Market Square. Also, if you have a car, visit Porvoo, it is one of the oldest towns in Finland, and another UNESCO heritage site. Porvoo is about 35 minutes by car outside of Helsinki. On the long Summer nights, spend an evening after the sun goes down at the Grand Casino Helsinki - the poker is pretty good. The hotel I stayed at was a little bit out of the center of the city, but it was only about a 20 minute walk to the Market Square in Helsinki and about 10 minutes to the Helsinki train station.
