Simply luxurious
Friendly and naturally stylish, hotel Helka made my family's stay in Helsinki. Best breakfast I've had in a hotel in a very long time. Being able to press a button to have a delicious oat flat white is a true luxury! Not being a fan of any form of waste, I appreciated the old building having been left to look it's age retaining it's rich history, which in turn gave a lovely backdrop for showing off some Finnish design (do visit different floors to appreciate this). We will be back!

Hotel next to Runeberginkatu 6a Jugend building
Good hotel next to beautiful Runeberginkatu 6a Jugend building. Also Hanken university nearby for tasty student lunch. If you are searching for a Helsinki city center hotel near the Helsinki city centre apartments in a cozy residential area short walk from Kamppi metro stop then Helka hotel is great option for a night or two. Breakfest is tasty and staff friendly.
