I stayed for a week on the "business" floor. My room had recently been renovated and was quiet and comfortable, with free internet service, large bathroom (with heated tiles) and pleasant furnishings. The front desk staff were very helpful in arranging transportation and helping me to get around Helsinki. The breakfast was plentiful but a bit of a zoo due... more

I spent 3 nights here on a business trip recently. On the positive side, it is conveniently located - near to trams and the city centre. The Finnair airport bus stops outside the hotel. Good leisure facilities - nice top floor pool, with good views, and saunas. Free in the mornings, but a whopping 17 euros in the evening, unless... more

I have stayed many times at the Scandic Continental in Helsinki and I have always enjoyed my stay. First of all, let me tell you there are many benefits at a Scandic Hotel in Finland. If you are a Hilton HHonors member you get money for every day to spend at the hotel. I am a Diamond member so I... more

This was my second stay at the Scandic Continental in the past year. I should point out that my first stay was marred by the fact that, despite my guaranteeing the room in advance with a credit card and having a Finnish friend phone ahead to inform them of my impending arrival, they still gave my room away. I ended... more

Just across the street from a sea water "lake" (not really a lake, but you can take a nice 2km run around it), the bar staff, restaurant and registration team were very helpful. The hotel was comfortable and it was perfect for a quick night in for business. more

Their lobby internet computers did not work for three days so it was impossible to check emails etc. Also for two of the five... more

Stayed there for Easter Vacation and spent a few extra Euros for additional comfort in an ambassador class room. As mentioned before by other travellers, the hotel has some advantages, the biggest one of which seems to be the Finnair Bus stopping right next to the hotel and the tram link to the city centre. The ambassador lounge is nice,... more

A great hotel, lovely rooms, and great for business passengers. I had a business room meaning I had the use of the business lounge with full use of the internet and fax and printers as well as extensive refreshments. The Hotels leisure facilitys including a pool and both Male and Female saunas and a private one for parties are great.... more

The breakfast was very good, everything you could want or expect was there. Everyday, you got half an hour for free using internet in the computerarea. The bar of the... more
