Scandic Helsinki Aviacongress

-Just 4min drive from the airport with reception nightshifts making late checkouts very easy -Friendly staff -Nice clean room with original decors and baby crib ready made as per requested -Complete breakfast -Very good price value -Even though so close from the airport, didn't hear the planes at all

I wanted to make sure my booking was all in order as my flight back to Helsinki was an hour delayed but never managed to get a hand on phone. I left a message on booking.com without answer which made me a bit stressed but all was very fine and went smoothly in the end at check-in.

The late night/early morning airport shuttle in a clean hotel was what we were looking for, but the cozy accommodations and really amazing breakfast were the cherry on top. We got in late, hotel reception was kind and helpful. The room set up was perfect for us, there were 4 cozy twin beds for us, lovely lighting, well equipped bathroom and space to put our luggage, all with a flair of Finnish design. We crawled into bed and lights out. In the morning, we had a full day ahead, but first the breakfast was absolutely a delight- so many beautifully prepared fruits, vegetables and grains, sausages, potatoes, eggs, yogurts but the best was a dedicated Gluten free area with gluten free pastries, bread to toast with a dedicated GF toaster, Lactose-free milks and other common allergy-free options. After a delicious breakfast we were fueled up for a day of adventuring Helsinki before our afternoon flight back home. We took the airport shuttle back to the airport to catch the train to downtown, visited Allas Sea Pool and Sauna, bought some beautiful wool sweaters at the market, and a reindeer and meatball lunch at the pier. Thank you Scandic Helsinki Aviacongress for your lovely hospitality.

The hotel is clean and well-designed. A good option for an early flight. A bit far from the airport, but transfer was frequent enough.

Early 5 am breakfast was not impressive. I don’t know if the later offering is better, but I believe for airport hotels there should be no difference, since many people book them exactly for early flights. Transfer to the airport was not on schedule and at first I was told it would be about 20 mins late (it turned out to be about 13 mins). Again, for an airport hotel being able to reach the airport on time is super-important if it’s not within walking distance.

Free shuttle runs till 01.10 in the morning, resuming at 03.10, then each 20 min approx throughout the rest of time. Plattform 42, the bus will be highlighted "Scandic.." It's the best place to stay for a night, with the other 2 alternatives being Holliday Inn (lower quality) and Hilton (too pricey). Free shuttle eliminates 4 km distance from Terminal, so no worry. Breakfast is absolutely good, with lots of healthy choices. The parking is free. Across the highway, 800 meters by feet, situated large shopping mall - all you need is there. Internet is good, easily connectable. Overall, best place to stay for its money and considering prices in Finland in general.

The maid gatecrashed a bit too early. The sound proofing is almost non-existent, which is funny sometimes, as kids yelling from neighbouring room saved our breakfast from oversleeping after a long trip. The TV isn't smart, so expect an old school thing with variety of TV channels only.

The information on the website about the free bus transfers was excellent and accurate: very easy to follow. Although I stayed only one night, I used it often. The breakfast musli was delicious and the staff gave me the recipe. I look forward to trying it out. I would have liked to have had other meat options that were not pork based, eg, beef sausage, turkey bacon, etc. The staff at the front desk were awesome. Very professional and knowledgeable. Quick with providing excellent service.

As mentioned previously, I would have liked to have had more meat options that were not pork based.

Price and quality ratio. It was a great hotel for its price. Very good breakfast. Great location - close to airport and walking distance from Jumbo. Rooms were clean and quiet and quite big as well, decent sound insulation.

Even though the room did look renovated, some small things were not working properly as if it were not maintained, e.g. trash trapper in the sink was not attached anymore, so it was closing the sink hole and the water did not flush itself. You had to raise the trapper with your fingers. One switch for dimmer light in the bathroom was not working, so the light in the toilet was switched on all the time. Not major things but small inconveniences.

Ideal if you are leaving early in the morning. You can sleep comfortably, enjoy the sauna and pool the night before, breakfast is served from the early hours of the morning, and there is a regular bus to the airport, which is only a 10-minute drive away. Total satisfaction.

There's nothing around the hotel, so if you arrive early, there's not much to do besides sauna and swimming. But that's not the hotel's problem. Its location is interesting just for its proximity to the airport, not for its surroundings.

The hotel is placed 10 minutes with a car from the airport ,if you need to go in the morning they have free of charge bus that leaves you to the airport,the bus is coming 20 to 20 minutes time,they have also an early breakfeast 4-6 in the morning that was amazing for us,the breakfeast was amazing,so many options,glutes free also what i was interest to,the hole experince was good but the personal didnt inform us to much,we was asking all those thinks because is writing everyone this thinks what was good

It is functional hotel near the airport with free shuttle. The personal in the front desk is nice and helpful. The room is nice, but on the eco style, all designed to be respectful with the environment... not bad, but also not luxurious to say something. In any case, all good and functional. It has a wellness area, with finish sauna, and a pool included in the price. Quite nice.

Nothing in particular... if anything, the decoration of the room not my style, but also nothing wrong, just a bit to trendy for me.

very nice and friendly front desk service. the room is light, big window, clean, the beds are very comfortable. the room was simple and very nice. the breakfast included many options for different tastes.

it was too long way through the hallways with the child and heavy luggage. they didn’t provide any help with the luggage and the distance to the room seemed to be eternal. although the shuttle was staying outside the airport, the property appeared to locate in about 15 minutes driving, not near by the airport.
