Loved the look … other than the carpet looking a little worn a few places (to be expected in a hotel) it reminded me of the grand hotels of days gone by! The rooms were spacious and quiet, the breakfast was plentiful with lots of charming nooks to sit and eat. Convenient to the train station. I didn’t get to check out the spa/sauna areas.

Great central location, really nice hotel
Such a great location and the staff were super friendly and helpful. The breakfast was pretty good, although it’s such a massive hotel with such little space to sit abe eat. The room was really clean and decorated nicely and the bed was so comfy. The only thing missing for me was a kettle in the room - it would have been nice to have a hot drink back in the room after such a cold day. But other than that it was brilliant.

Great central location. Right next to the central train station where there’s easy access to trams, metros and buses. Rooms are clean, great breakfast. Theres no coffee maker/hot water kettle or teas/coffee in the rooms. You have to ask the front desk and they can provide kettles/teas etc. great hotel and service

Comfortable clean stay
My stay at the Scandic Grand Central Helsinki was wonderful. I was between a flight from Helsinki and a train to Rovaniemi and it was so conveniently close to where you can get the train from the city to the airport and all the longer trains, both at the Central Station. It was close to great dining and drink options but tucked off the beaten path so there was no noise. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The bathroom was clean and well appointed. The only thing was breakfast was only decent and it was very crowded but it was included so it worked. I would recommend this hotel for anyone coming to Helsinki for a night or for a longer trip.
