This hotel has a wonderful breakfast buffet, helpful staff and rooms that are clean, comfy and very nice. I stayed a week in a superior single room with a discount for seniors. It was a great experience. The hotel is central and an easy walk to the main shopping streets, restaurants, museums, etc. It is even attached to a department... More

Centre of Helsiki, very near railway station. Oldfashion style and comortable staying. rooms may be little old but cosy. Restaurants are very good as food too. Sauna have no windows, but still its very good and nice. Towels you can find from sauna.

Stayed in Sokos Vaakuna 1 night, on my way home from Thailand. Calm and nice furniture room, friendly personal, nice view to the Central railway station, great breakfast. I would recommend this hotel for business, tourist, family trip. But price is expensive, 160 euros per night, so it is better to find some discounts, special offers.

We stayed two nights here prior to fly out to start our fortnight in Finland. Clean comfortable and the staff most helpful. The hotel is conveniently located close to the train station and close to the airport bus shuttle and walking distance to many sites. We had to leave the hotel very early prior to the official start of breakfast... More

We stayed in this hotel on our first night in Finland and again on our last night. We had 2 completely different rooms. The first was OK but small with a very small bathroom. The room was clean and beds were comfortable. The second room was much larger with a shower and tub in the bathroom. Again, clean and the... More

Every now and again, when it fits my work, I book a stay at Vaakuna. It always delivers that same old school cityhotel charm, without feeling outdated. The view from the last three floors is always a joy, no matter if your facing Kamppi or Eliel square. You have the buzz of Helsinki right at your feet. The service is... More

Hotel Vaakuna has a totally central location in Helsinki, accross the railwaystation. The house is full of history, planned for the olympic games 1940 in Helsinki (cancelled because of the war). Location is perfect if you are coming by airport buss or train. Outside it can be a little restless and noisy in the evenings, also not so clean. There... More

This hotel we have stayed at before numerous times and love the quirky, subtle features. This time we came with kids in tow. The location is fantastically convenient, especially that the Finnair airport bus is just across the road, and the hotel check in was easy, room was clean, well presented, and welcoming after a long day. The little touches... More

The last hotel I reviewed was a strong 3, this hotel is a weak 4. The positives - location. Type in "Helsinki, Finland" into Google Maps and the pin will drop almost on top of this hotel. It is located across the street from the main train station and a 5 minute stroll from the main bus terminal. There is... More
