No real problems with this hotel. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The service in the hotel's restaurant was a bit slow on the evening that I ate there. The decor has a 1980s feel to it but I think that they have started redecorating some of the floors.

The hotel is located about 15min walk from the center - so absolutley okay for the price. Free WIFI in the rooms and the breakfast is good.... More

If you want to stay out of the very city center but still close. Nice park outside which is ideal for running. There is a lake with a path around. Airport buses and tram just outside, very convenient. Scandic is sort of value for money, no luxury but good quality.

We only stayed here for one night as were just on an overnight trip to Helsinki. As it is under renovation at the moment expect obviously some disruptions, but to be honest it didn't impact too much. No car park available was our main issue but parked close by instead. Rooms are slightly outdated but still clean and public areas... More

stayed here for 4 nights on a work trip. While it looks like the restaurant and reception area has had a refurb, the room I stayed in definately hadn't! It was very dated,seventies decor, with a tiny tv inside a huge tv cabinet. The bathroom had no proper shower just a tap attachment which could be moved to above the... More

This hotel has been renewed and the new rooms are nice, clean and comfortable, too. A good point for the the sauna in the hotel with nice views to the city. Breakfast is as in all other Scandic hotels and it is really good.

Hotel is now under renovation so hopefully after few months they have nice new rooms. Old rooms were not in best shape. They also have sauna and swimming pool. Restaurant downstairs is good but bit high prices. Breakfast is exactly the same as all other Scandic hotels. Good enough but nothing fancy in Finnish standards. There is nice park opposite... More

I think I've heard this hotel is one of the biggest in Scandinavia. And it has served us for four decades now. I hope some bigger renovation is about to begin soon! Our superior room had lot of space, it had nice decoration and it was clean. Some kind of international style with it's marble bathroom etc. But common areas,... More

Scandic Continental was once the best hotel in Finland when it was operating under the name Hotel Inter-Continental Helsinki. Hotel was originally opened in 1972, and the exterior sport the typical concrete slab style of those days. I believe the interior has been updated a couple of times, but it is already a bit worn on the edges. Also the... More

Room was clean and comfortable. Hotel offered complimentary internet. I liked the sauna in the hotel which had nice views to the city. I would recommend to join Scandic frequent quest programme to get more benefits in the hotel. I got complimentary voucher for food and drinks.
