The glass elevator at the hotel offers great views, and the rooftop pool, sauna, lounge area, and bar are all fantastic. They even provide an early breakfast an hour before regular breakfast service.
The top floor boasts a swimming pool and sauna, and the breakfast is a standard Western spread
The room was very big and spacious, and the TV was huge. The hygiene was excellent and very clean, and the room had good natural light. The service was great, and the transportation was convenient
This hotel is excellent, easily meeting five-star standards. The 7T tram stop is right at its doorstep, and on the other side, there's a picturesque harbor view
The hotel service was excellent, and the breakfast was plentiful. They have many conference rooms, which are perfect for business meetings and other events
Excellent property, exceeded expectations. Breakfast was good. Nicely located close to public transport.
We had the best stay at this hotel. We were supposed to stay 2 nights and we stayed 4. Sauna and pool really are great. The hotel is super clean and the staff is super sweet
Great value for money with very clean and modern rooms. It was appreciated that the room had an empty fridge available for use. However, I was disappointed by the lack of coffee/tea amenities in the room.
If weekend, the pool is opened for morning too but opening hours are very short too (7am to 11am). The changing room door could not be closed
Walking to the hotel takes 16 min. Swimming Pool is good but opening hours are very short (limited to afternoon from 3pm to 7pm)
The heating wasn't working, but after I complained, they offered an extra heater that worked really well. The location is great.
Everything was absolutely perfect. It's close to the city center, and the breakfast was very good – there's something for everyone. The service was also lovely.
Would definitely come back! The wellness area was a bit pricey for an add on but really nice and chill when quiet! I just would have liked a staff member there to manage noise and groups as I wanted to go on my last night but it was very overcrowded with loud intimidating groups
Small room but it has everything one would need for a comfortable stay. Staffs were super helpful and friendly. Would love to stay here if I ever visit Helsinki in the future
Clean, modern and bright rooms. Although a bit small, they are very cleverly designed.
The location was pretty good, out of the centre but very accessible by tram
Very nice and welcoming staff! Nice wait staff in the restaurant too
When I asked staff at the desk, they just said the check-in is at 16 and they don’t know about the availabilities and that I should try the self-service again in half an hour intervals
Spent a few days here due to attending a conference in the city. Absolutely loved the place - now part of the Hilton chain but with real underlying character. My room was reasonably large and very comfortable
The breakfast was outstanding, and the rooms were immaculate, tidy, and extremely comfortable. The surrounding environment is beautiful and tranquil, making it perfect for relaxation and a vacation
Finally, a word about the staff, who were without exception friendly, courteous, professional and helpful. Not sure if /when I'll be back in Helsinki, but I'd be delighted to stay here again
As others have said, some parts of this hotel do show their age a little, but for me that absolutely adds to its character. The design-forward approach extends to the restaurant
Such a serene experience. The hotel is located in a quiet, peaceful and greenery neighbourhood. It has a big park close to it where you could take long quiet walks!
I ate here a few times and all of the dishes I tried were excellent and not especially pricey by Helsinki standards. A pleasant spot for dinner as a solo traveller
Fantastic stay! I really loved the swimming pool and sauna. They were very clean and relaxing. Highly recommended for travelers who love to sauna!
Nice hotel inside a shopping mall. A hotel situated inside a shopping mall is a first for me. Once I had found my way around I enjoyed the convenience of being able to walk to various shops and cafes
We booked a room one day in advance for one night only and found ourselves in a room properly designed for wheelchair persons, got plenty of space but looked like a hospital
Parking on first floor is limited but plenty of space on the upper floor. Room was bigger than expected with kettle and tea/coffee
Very good hotel, good location good parking facilities. Very friendly staff. Nice restaurants!
Fair enough, we are 8o++ but still play golf and did not find ”at home”
The location of the hotel is just the best. Closest to the train station and the city center is just a walk away. Had an amazing time there and the cleanliness of the rooms made my stay more comfortable
The fact that the toiletries were changed just one night into our stay made it more enticing. I will highly recommend this hotel to anyone planning to travel to Joensuu. The breakfast had different varieties of items too
Pleasant stay for one night in Joensuu. The staff was very friendly (as you'd expect in Northern Carelia overall) and the hotel was clean and overall very pleasant
Good food and close to the railway 🚃 station 🚉. So, it's easy to Helsinki if your train is around 06:00 am.
The room was spatious and quiet and we enjoyed the breakfast, especially the local carelian pastries
Very good hotel, professional service.
Only issue is parking.
Ystävällinen palvelu, upea huone kauniilla näköalalla, saunatilat ja uima-allas plussaa. Hyvä aamiainen ja runsaasti vegaanisia vaihtoehtoja
Right middle of the town. Good location! Drinking water from the tap in the bedroom so cold and fresh. Best drinking water in the world as they say and it’s true. I would recommend this hotel and will go back.
Most friendly staff we’ve met so far in a hotel. Great location, close to everything. Very comfy bed with superb view.
The staff were welcoming, attentive, and consistently helpful, which made the experience even smoother. The location is slightly outside the busiest part of the city center, but still very convenient
It’s an easy walk to many attractions, and the area around the hotel feels calm and pleasant. Overall, a fantastic base for visiting Helsinki — I would happily stay here again
Great location with convenient transportation access. The hotel facilities are comprehensive and well-equipped. The surroundings are elegant, with clear lake water all around
Everything was fine, service great, just room floor is too old and looks like muddy,
There's also a private underground parking garage
80s decor, but very well-maintained!
Right by the bay with amazing views for early risers!
About a 10-minute walk to the city center!
Breakfast was good!
The Asian lady at the front desk recommended Savotta, a restaurant serving bear meat, directly opposite Senate Square
A great hotelier with some exceptionally great indoor amenities like full workout gym, spa, indoor swimming pool and separate saunas for men and women
The Crowne Plaza Helsinki has an excellent location, within walking distance to city center attractions. The rooms are clean and comfortable, well-equipped, and the 24-hour service is attentive
It offers great value for money, making it an ideal choice for both business and leisure travelers
The environment is excellent, and the facilities are very complete.
Executive club room is on 9 floor, very quiet area. The is cozy and superior clean. We lived there for a week and really enjoyed every thing. Especially the house keeper, Auwan, is very nice and professional person
Very Nice hotel, room and breakfast. We enjoy the stay with our dear friends. We also accidentally met the band group group from Damark in the elevator. Looks like very famous and popular Hotel Chain ^^
I really enjoyed this location, sauna, and pool. In the breakfast I could try many kinds of foods.
Clean hotel with swiming pool, gm and sauna. Brekfast is quite good. Standard rooms are small but clean with comfortable bed.
Very good gym (enter from garage) and also very good sauna/pool area. Beds are somewhat dated.
The hotel is centrally located near a beautiful park/playground. It was a very busy weekend and the hotel was very full. There was no onsite parking so we had to park in the city lot about a block away
Friendly staff, heart facilities, good food & beautiful location opposite a park & river. Within walking distance of Finlayson & the museums area.
We loved this hotel, can't complain about anything!! Would definately stay there again if we were in Tampere
This is a good hotel in the center of Turku. It is a modern hotel with decent rooms. The room was large, clean and quiet with a view of the main city square. Breakfast was tasty with a good range of things to eat
I stay at this hotel every time I go to Turku. The location is convenient, the service is excellent, the rooms are relatively spacious compared to other hotels, and the breakfast is also good.
The hotel is clean and tidy. The service staff is warm and thoughtful. It is very convenient to book a room through Ctrip. Check-in is very smooth with the voucher.
This location is fantastic! They serve a delicious breakfast with a wide variety of food options, including traditional Finnish dishes.
The hotel is in a good location - in the center of the town and only a few minutes walk from the river
The hotel was clean and located in the center of the city, making it easy to get around.
The forest scenery suites that we stayed in were in good condition and we found nothing bad in them (except they were on top of a steep hill but that tells more about my physical condition :) )
There is also another resort nearby called Kuru and they have a superb fine dining restaurant called Solitary
The spa is nice. Breakfast was good too. I have a wonderful 2 nights stay.
Far but worth it, this is my second time visiting the resort and it looks like they are always upgrading and growing now they have small villas that you can choose to stay in they are fitted with glass in the main bedroom that offers Panasonic view while still in bed
Perfect for stargazing
The saunas is so cool and one of the oldest saunas that you can enjoy still using wood to heat up
Wonderful place, surrounded by breathtaking nature, great variety of activities to do at the resort and beautiful places at short drive distances. Lovely and very helpful staff too
It's a shame we couldn't stay longer as there are so many activities on offer and many more interesting places to stay. Would definitely go back and would recommend to anyone
Wow, such an amazing place! Our standard room was far from standard, it was beautiful! Plus everything we needed and more
First and foremost, the surrounding area is absolutely stunning — it genuinely felt like walking through a Christmas Carol-style winter wonderland. The cottages themselves were very comfortable and well designed
The hotel itself is very clean and well maintained. Breakfast and evening meals were buffet style and the food was very good, with plenty of choice. There were lots of gluten-free options, which was an excellent touch
The cottages are around a 10-minute walk to the main hotel, although this can easily turn into 20–30 minutes if you have children who want to stop for snowball fights along the way
There is also a warm laundry room, a small toilet, and an excellent sauna, which was a fantastic addition and very welcome at the end of the day
The bedrooms were clean and comfortable; we are a family of four and the two-bedroom layout with four single beds worked perfectly
A double bed would have been nice, but this was a very minor point and it was easy enough to push two beds together
The staff , Heidi and Saverin, were outstanding. My reservation has not come through, and they worked tirelessly to make sure that it was retrieved and that I had a room on time
My entire experience was excellent
Excellent place to accommodate. Such warm Carelian hospitality from the staff. Clean room, great sauna facilities with jacuzzi and steam sauna.
The other was that on each morning, there was no service to straighten up the rooms. Fortunately we were able to grab towels and toilet paper from the cart and it wasn't the worst problem to have but still surprising
Each time I emailed the hotel, they responded VERY promptly with the information I needed - The location is excellent, right on the town's main square and easy walking distance to an array of restaurants, shopping and ten minutes from the train station
Yes, it does lack this, but be honest - this is not what you are visiting Joensuu! NEGATIVES - the are only two negatives. The first was that the bathroom was VERY small and in need of updating
And for those going to the World Cup in Kontiolahti, the motor coach shuttle to the arena picks up and drops off in the main square, next to the hotel
Very nice pool and sauna + steam room. While you're supposed to book times in advance, spontaneous use is also possible without restrictions. Breakfast is also very good, and the bar in the evening is highly recommended
The location and environment are good, but children are not allowed in the swimming pool. The hotel art exhibition is also good
For those looking for a hotel that hits on every aspect, this is the one:
- Location: couldn’t be more ideal as you are a quick walk to major sites, the train station, or tram spots to venture further
- Service: impeccable, the staff treated us very well in fact any time we called the front desk to request something they were at our instantly
- Ambiance: this is definitely one of the hotels that...
The breakfast is rich and varied, the service is warm and moderate, the bakery downstairs is very popular, and the hotel is in a great location and you can reach everything on foot
Very niche thing, but really appreciated the GHD hairdryer - I’ve never experienced a hotel having the same high end hair dryer I have at home!
Truly one of the best hotels in Europe, I absolutely loved my recent stay at Hotel St George and am already thinking about when I’ll be back
Good family spot plenty to do around in all seasons, must cost for tourist to enjoy Finnish nature proper hugge.
Good location good rate nice rooms not so well breakfast
There was autumn holidays the week we were at the hotel which ment that the kylpylä was very, very crowded. The showering and dressing rooms would have needed some extra cleaning during the day because of the rush
Warm water at spa, does need some renovation. Almost all the rooms are not at main hotel spa building. Long and cold walk to spa if you do not have room at main building. Breakfast nice and all did taste nice.
When we got our room keys there was said in the small envelope for our keys that we could sleep as long as we wanted and have breakfast any time we liked
We came too late for our first breakfast, but the nice man in the restaurant made breakfast bags for us to take to the room
(The staff kindly brought me a new pot to use, tho she almost put the glutenfull knive in it, so maybe just a little bit of education to the staff about gluten free and cross contamination would be good)
If maybe like those small individual packages of hazelnut spreads and jams can be added it would be absolutely perfect!
Perfect location, perfect room and perfect breakfast options! Surprisingly much glutenfree options, so i was really happy
However it would be nice to have maybe small individual packages of hazelnutspread/nutella, because the pots that stand on the counter to be used are shared with people who use their knives to spread it on glutenfull bread, and this unfortunately gives cross contamination and makes me ill
Great place, near to Helsinki Ice Hall
Great place, near to Helsinki Ice Hall
Very good experience, very satisfied
Even though I booked again the same day I checked out, they would not let me into the room until 1pm (unless I paid an early fee) despite the person behind the desk knowing my situation
We visited the spa complex. Four types of saunas, a salt room, a relaxation area, a large pool, a jacuzzi, and a bar. There is a summer terrace with a lake view. I recommend this place.
UPD from 2025:
I gave it 5 stars because of amazing view and swimming experience in July. When it is hot, this is really a gem. But the breakfast is still very modest:)
2024:
Overall it was a good experience
We visited the hotel in April 2024. The rooms are a bit old fashioned, but it is OK. The greatest advantage is the view and the fact that the balcony is very close to the water
Peaceful hotel with a spa
Peaceful and comfortable spa hotel, beautiful surroundings by a river. Small but many-sided spa which was not crowded. Good breakfast.
Also it was perfect, that we could swim outdoors after the sauna. The spa was quite decent, but nothing special. The breakfast was the worst part
Almost zero vegan options, but even without such restrictions it was really poor
Excellent location by lake Imatra with walking paths on the shore. Spa area has several pools, dressing rooms have traditional saunas and there’s one mixed steam sauna in the spa area
One outdoor pool with jacuzzi feature. Breakfast has a wide variety, but very crowded in summertime. Rooms are retro but no complaints
The only difference is that the countryside and a swimming pool on the street. Petersburg has by far the best design and the rooms for fans of saunas. Petersburg has much better slides
Quite a lot of selection for breakfast.
The room is clean and comfortable.
Staff is not so friendly, charged price wrongly, and still with some attitude.
The water Park is small but cozy. With a pool on two tracks, a swim out to the outside. Steam just steam with a surprise, it suddenly began to rain. Under the waterfall stand impossible to lose the last hair
We are srayd at their village house.
Very big plase, 2 floors and big terrase.
You will have: own sauna, 2 bathrooms, dryer shelf, full equipment kitchen, fireplace and many opportunites.
Modern, Scandinavian vibe with really helpful and warmhearted staff. We had some weird request and all were fulfilled without any hesitation. Attached pictures are from the King Suite
Really nice location, just 5 min walk to busy bar street and restaurants.
Hotel restaurant very good and staff both restaurant and hotel super nice. 👍🌹
Very nice room with a sauna. Staff excelllent. Really loved the bed. Would definately stay again.
Palaute
Kaikin puolin miellyttävä.
Varsinkin aamupala erinomainen.
Henkilökunta asiansaosaavaa.
The bathroom + sauna alone were larger than a junior suite
