Hotels near Viiri Playground in Helsinki

Top if you are looking for a cheap place to stay. Even their 16 people shared rooms are furnitured in a very intelligent way so they provide privacy. I was really scared of sleeping in one room with 15 other people. After my trip there, i was not anymore. Also their shared area is really comfy and has everything you need including sofas, multiple TVs and a REALLY big kitchen. It is also very clean and the staff is super friendly.

Good localisation of the hotel and very clean rooms. Breakfast is poor and limited

Enjoyed a 4 night stay mainly to watch the UEFA Supercup match. Was given room 807 on the 8th floor, what a fantastic view over the water, park and in the distance could see the Olympic Stadium Tower. The room was very comfortable, nice comfortable double bed, large tv, fridge, usual kettle, ironing items, digital safe and slippers/housecoats. I plugged in my Amazon firestick to the hdmi port on the tv so then had access to Netflix/Amazon video etc The wifi was very strong. Breakfast in the morning was plentiful with a good selection of items, the morning after the uefa match myself and I think many others slept in, I went down at 0930 and was difficult to find a seat for breakfast however the staff working done a fantastic job in clearing tables and keeping fresh food available, big well done to them! Hotel location is just out of the main area but only two stops on the metro and your in the main train station, or the bus outside take you in too. Outside the hotel there’s always been plenty of these e-scooters which are handy to ride to the metro station or for me to hesburger! There’s also a small supermarket across from the hotel for stocking up snacks etc For transportation I downloaded the HSL app so bought tickets using the app, also I used Uber/Bolt apps for taxis. If you use Bolt then use my referral “RONNIEKPZ” I used bolt from the hotel to the airport and cost was €25 that was because I was a new user. Handy if you have heavy lugguge!

The hotel is not in the city center but it takes more than 20 minutes by bus, opposite is the forest. The room is on the first floor, the windows can be locked, there is no kettle, it may be borrowed at the front desk, the room is not large, the water heater may not be the conventional method of opening and closing, so I do n’t know if the phone came in at night and asked if I knew the front desk number Is n’t that because they do n’t use this water heater ... Breakfast is good and the sun is plentiful.

I had a very good sleep in this hotel. My room on 5th floor was facing the backyard of the Expo and Convention Centre, so the view was not even close to beautiful, but room was very quiet. Thanks to the efficient air conditioning, it was easy to get my room to cool enought for a good sleep. However, I would have preferred a softer bed and pillows. The room was clean and it had everything I needed for one night stay. Breakfast buffet was nice, nothing surprising though. The service was ok. As a Finn travelling in Finland I think the staff should be able to speak fluent Finnish, for example to to ensure the service level of elderly people. Unfortunately this wasn't the case with every customer service person in Holiday Inn, some spoke only a few words in Finnish or just didn't want to use the language. The location of the hotel is central and it's super easy to get to Tripla Mall or Pasila railway station.

Before checking in, they did not send the code to access the number via mail and SMS. There are no workers in the hotel. I had to spend a lot of money to talk to an English operator.

Great hotel, includes the kitchenette with the stove and the refrigerator. The huge plus is a washer in the room, so we could do our laundry. Located about 12 minutes walking distance to the train station, which can take you straight downtown. There are a few grocery stores within the walking distance also, which is very convenient. The hotel itself has a movie room, a kitchen room, a play room, gym and a sauna. Nice for the price - highly recommend!!!

On an upper floor of the building with the sign City Forum Hostel above its building entrance, it was an ok 3-night stay at this place in an 8-bed dorm room (with a nice addition of a small two-shelf piece in my bed) with also a spacious ”common room” (with long comfortable sofa chairs & also some nice-sized tables). So yes, with the place itself just an average one, the best part of the stay here I would say is its proximity to ”all the essentials”: for sightseeing with just about a 10-minute walk to the ”downtown waterfront” where to visit are the city's ”premier sites” (Helsinki Cathedral, Uspenski Cathedral, SkyWheel Helsinki & the tent-market) and yes where there's also the ferry dock to the Suomenlinna Sea Fortress; for shopping with just about a 5-minute walk to the two big shopping malls (Stockmann just across the main street and Forum to the left on the main street without crossing it); and for food with really quite a number of places to eat right around here (including the two McDonald's in & around the Forum Mall and the ”pretty nice” buffet restaurant called Luckiefun's for Chinese & Japanese food).

Stayed here for one night, picked the location to be close range to Espoo. As a Hilton Honors member I was gifted with a bag of water at check in, always a nice gesture. Front desk staff was very courteous both checking in and out. The room was nice, plenty of spaces to sit and counters/tables to lay your stuff out. Bathroom was not so nice. Very quiet to sleep, but the bed was tad too hard for my liking. Restaurant and bar were located outside at another structure. Food was very expensive but very good. Bar was tiny, but had a nice view to the ocean. Breakfast was located next to the lobby, and was hands down wonderful! Many options to choose from, options for people with food sensitivities as well. Very attentive staff, was asked my room number 3 different times.

The scenery of the hotel is superb, even if we stayed in winter, the beauty of the lake cannot be concealed. The service of the hotel is also very good, and the free apples are very delicious. The hotel lobby has a typical Nordic style, warm and practical. It is very pleasant to take a walk by the lake and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
