Dr. Aslam Khan and I visited Scandic Simonkentta Helsinki, in the month of September. It's a very nice and comfortable hotel with scintillating views and landscapes. I would like to visit again. more

We booked in advance and got a reasonable rate. We were in a standard room , I booked a quiet room and we got one. However we were not aware of any loud noise around the hotel at all. Perhaps the disco is not operating now? The breakfast is a Scandinavian buffet with a wide selection of foods. Our room... more

I have stayed at the Scandic Simonkenttä for two nights this summer. I had reserved a superior room and was given a dark room facing the taxi stand (btw make sure to check out the Scandic website when booking, since they have a lot of specials going on, but they're well hidden). Clearly not very superior. When I complained I... more

This is a crisp hotel with good finishes and friendly staff. Clean and modern with comfortable beds. Good location near transport, shops and restaurants. Stayed for two nights prior to side trip to St Petersburg, and again on return. Happily stowed luggage and helpful. Great range of breakfast fare. Very pricey if booked at short notice but bargains are available... more

I've been wanting to stay at the Scandic Simonkentta since I visited Helsinki for the first time in 2003 because of its excellent location in the center (and underground connection to Kamppi and Forum shopping centers) and its modern looks. I finally could stay there for two nights in July 2009 with my wife and 8 months old baby thanks... more

However: Not really clean, really cold for a Mediterranean citizen like myself (reception said no heat is provided during spring as the Finnish are used to this weather!!!), breakfast is rich but only adopted to the taste of Scandinavian travellers(lots of fish, poor cheese and ham,... more

If walking around Helsinki it seems that you come upon either a Sokos or Scandic hotel every couple of blocks, no your mind is not playing tricks on you. The start of our Baltic tour started at a Sokos, so we decided to end it at a Scandic. The Scandic was the fanciest of the hotels we stayed at. The... more

I stayed here 2 times for work. The location is fantastic if you want to experience Helsinki. The rooms are modern, clean and spacious. Everything is new. The breakfast buffet has a big variety and the restaurant has a great view over the open square. People watching is perfect! Walking to the main street takes less than 5 minutes. Shopping... more

We loved this nice hotel. Found a nice price online and booked it for our short trip to Helsinki. The hotel is right in the city center close to all shops, restaurants, sights etc. Nice rooms, nice breakfast buffet, nice staff. Very nice! Will definately live there again next we go there, if we can get the same nice price. more
