Hotels near Esplanade Park, Helsinki

The service was wonderful. The staff were genuinely friendly, not just smiling because they had to. I had an issue with my room, and it was resolved very quickly and with great kindness. The hotel is located close to a market with several restaurants and two supermarkets, one of which is open 24 hours a day. It is also very close to Sea Life and the roller coaster attractions, making it a great choice for families and anyone planning to visit those areas. If your main goal is to visit the city centre, there are several bus routes and a tram stop right in front of the hotel. You can also rent a bike or an e-scooter and enjoy the ride through the park, which is a lovely option in good weather. If the weather is bad, the location is less convenient for getting to the city centre. However, when it isn't raining or extremely cold, the location is excellent and offers a much quieter, greener environment. One feature I really liked was the hotel's fantastic guest kitchen. I didn't use it myself, but it looked ideal for families travelling with children or for anyone planning a longer stay. The hotel also has a gym, a lovely rooftop terrace, and complimentary laundry facilities where you can wash and dry your clothes free of charge. There is also a sauna and a steam room, which are a great bonus after a day of sightseeing. I would definitely recommend this hotel for families with children or for travellers who don't need to be in the city centre all the time and would rather enjoy the surrounding parks and forests while still having easy access to the main attractions.

Facilities: Excellent, has everything you could need. The twin room was unusually spacious, and there were plenty of live TV channels! Cleanliness: Very good, didn't notice anything out of place. Ambiance: Grand and luxurious. Service: Front desk service was okay, and English communication was smooth. The concierge staff were very courteous and polite.

Overall, my recent stay with Bob W was disappointing. I booked the 4-person penthouse room primarily for the use of the sauna on my last day of the trip. Firstly, pin code provided was only valid for door access to the stairs, not door to the elevator side at night. This became a significant inconvenience, especially for a female traveler like myself who arrived at night after a tiring flight. Having to carry a 20kg luggage and a 10kg carry-on up five flights of stairs was both physically demanding and frustrating. Clear arrangements on how to access the elevator at night should have been considered for guest. Secondly, check-in process was not clearly communicated, causing panic upon arrival. Unfortunately, I had to seek help from customer service on a third-party booking site and reach out via email to obtain a check-in link, which added unnecessary stress and confusion. Furthermore, instruction for turning on the sauna were unclear, and I was unable to enjoy it until the next morning at 8am, just few hours before my checkout time. I had specifically chosen the penthouse room with the sauna for a relaxing and enjoyable experience. due to the lack of clear instructions, and had to seek assistance to figure out how to operate it properly, which ate into the limited time I had available to enjoy the amenity. In conclusion, my stay with Bob W fell short of my expectations. The limited time to enjoy the amenities, issues during the check-in process and accessing the elevator, made for a less than satisfactory experience. I hope that Bob W seriously takes feedback into consideration and makes the necessary improvements to ensure a more enjoyable stay for travelers in the future. Thank you

The room was good enough and clean for the price. The only downside was the missing power outlet next to the bed. I use a sleep apnea device and it was a bit difficult to plug the plug into the only power outlet close enough, which was at the head of the bed under the bed. This meant I couldn't use the night light.

In my experience, hotels of this size and price always have a coffee maker and/or an electric kettle for tea in each room—even the standard ones—but ours did not have either. In addition, the shower controls in the very tight shower are not easy to figure out, and the temperature was set to scalding hot, so be very careful. Our room was quite small and dated. However, the bed was comfortable and the bedding was nice quality, so overall it was fine for our three-night stay.

Very friendly staff. The breakfast is nice, with a wide variety of choices. The location is quite good and it’s just minutes walking distance to the nearest tram stop. The only negative thing is the size of the bathroom. It’s too small to have a substantial place to place your shaver, toothbrush set, and your clothes. Even in the bath, the shampoo, conditioner and body wash bottles have partial of them hanging in the air. Other than that, this hotel is perfect for a short stay in Helsinki!

The hotel is very close to Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, with a free shuttle bus that is extremely punctual. The room is clean, quiet and perfectly soundproofed. The most favorite is the breakfast served from 4 am, very thoughtful for those who have an early flight

We stayed in a triple room for a family trip. There was a sink in the room, but the shower and toilet were shared. The room felt a little dusty, but we could open the window for ventilation, so it wasn't a problem. The bathroom was very clean, and there was no noticeable sewage smell. There is only one shower, but it's fine if you time your showers right. Towels provided in the room included one bath towel and one face towel, as well as body soap and shampoo. The shared kitchen was very convenient, and we were able to cook and eat food we bought at the supermarket. Coffee and tea were also available. We were able to leave our luggage in the hallway when we checked out, and they held it for us. If we visit Helsinki again, we would definitely like to stay here again.

I love this place! If i ever come back to Finland i will definitely stay here again. It’s right in the city centre and walking distance to the main city’s attractions . You can even walk to Senate Square!! The place itself is very clean, very complete with kitchen appliances which and also Muslim friendly as it got bidet… it is easy to check in with the code as well!!

The location of this hotel is excellent, the room is spacious too. It is right on top of a Vietnamese pho shop, before the Solo Sokos Hotel Torni. It distributes its door code via email and can only be use after 4pm. The door code is used for the door entering the building, the elevator to your floor and to enter your room. So one must be extremely careful when you leave your room, if you forget anything, it's gonna be troublesome. This hotel is closed to a shopping mall called Forum with eateries inside. In Helsinki, buffet is very popular, especially the sushi buffet, I wonder why :)
