Yes, a stay in Hanasaari/Hanaholmen is not that cheap but it is 100% worth it. We are so glad we chose this hotel. It is located on a small island that feels just enough remote to enjoy the nature but can be reached by metro in 10 min + 10 min walking. You wake up with the most beautiful views of the see, great and stylish art and 70ies design. The rooms are individually designed with an eye for design details and very comfortable to stay in. But the best thing by far is the so pretty pool. This might have been the nicest pool I have ever swam in, really beautiful interior design and a great view into the snow, the sea and nature. Also the staff was very friendly and helpful at all times. Breakfast is good, we especially enjoyed the freshly baked brownie bits and smoothies. I am so so glad we treated ourselves to three nights in this hotel. And no, I am not a hotel employee, just really into Hanasaari now :-) I have attached some pics of the pool and the nature on the island in winter.

You should be aware that the walk to the next metro station is 10-15 minutes long, but you path a nice marina.

Hotel Hanasaari is not far from Helsinki, yet it feels nice and secluded. We were there in winter and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. The room was warm and comfortable. We were only there for one night and did not have time to use all of the facilities.

We loved the location outside of the city, the wonderfully kind staff, the comfortable room, the access to the sauna and the beautiful breakfast every morning. We also loved that all the food was labeled making it easy for people with gluten sensitivity. The staff even brought out gluten free bread at meals. The art exhibit was an extra special treat, as well.

Very nice place in 80-s style, but well renovated. There is a decent art exhibition around, as well as a spa. Breakfast is great. There is ample parking space, and lovely trail to walk around.

The pool could be a tad bit warmer, as it is a bit too cold for kids.

The island itself as well the hotel, nice staff, good breakfast

The mattress in french bed, every move, makes also the rest of the bed moving. Better to book 2 single beds.

I came to hotel Hanaholmen for some much needed rest, escape and also for a little personal work. I had an amazing time and the place was PERFECT for ME. My needs; (comfort, seclusion), wants ; (nature, accessibility) and interests; (art, fitness) I grew to love it and enjoyed my stay very much. The staff were super helpful and accommodating, and the food was just superb. A wonderful place to stay.

Luckily I'm not adverse to walking or finding my way around (without a car), but you need to be open to having the nearest metro into the city centre, an 18 min walk away. Or, alternatively if you have the cash to taxi to places, it's not a bad location from Key points.

The hotel is amazing, there're a lot of art pieces everywhere, and everything looks really cute! I liked walking near the sea (the road noise was a bit annoying though), but the view is perfect. Food in the restaurant was delicious and not super expensive. I also liked the swimming pool with sea view (I had a problem with towels, couldn't find them in the changing room and didn't bring my own). Breakfast was great as well, I found different types of tasty food. I really liked the weekend there, definitely can recommend it!

It was a bit noisy outside because of the road, but I guess it's not possible to fix it. But the sound doesn't disturb you inside the building. Also I didn't know I was supposed to bring my own towel to the swimming pool, it'd be nice to have this information somewhere

It truly is an oasis only 5 km away from the hustle and bustle of Helsinki centre where you will find peace and quiet, and unexpectedly- great art everywhere. Loved our room, surroundings, meals, overall ambience. Very nice personnel. Would love to return.

It's not a complaint, or a dislike- just a note for those who might think that this is a spa hotel. It's an Art hotel, or rather- an art foundation which also has two saunas and an indoor swimming pool for those who wish to swim. Do not expect +30 C pool with a jaccuzy. It's only a functional swimming pool with warmer than sea temperature. Good enough.

I have wanted to come here for a long time and finally it happened. The hotel has a simply unique location. On the one hand, you are like on an island, where there is only the sea and nature around. On the other hand, 15 minutes by car and you are already in the center of Helsinki with its urban rhythm, a huge number of shops and restaurants. The hotel itself is made in such a style that its architecture merges with the nature of the peninsula and everything looks harmonious. The rooms are quite spacious and bright, it is a pleasure to be there. Everything is very thought out and comfortable, there is a wardrobe for clothes and accessories. Very comfortable beds and lovely linens. In the morning I don’t want to get up at all, but I have to get up because of a delicious breakfast. Breakfast, though not too varied, but all the products are of very high quality. Separately, I want to say about the sauna and pool - it was wonderful! From the sauna you can go outside and jump into the sea from the pier).

We liked everything. The only thing we missed was a playground)
