Where to stay with kids in Finland

The location of this hotel is excellent, only few hundred meters from ski lifts and Levi village

Worst hotel experience in Finland so far. The room was old, poorly maintained, and not properly cleaned. The key card system was a constant issue; they were unable to provide us with two functioning room cards

The family room was great, with a large bedroom and a separate bunk bed. It's a five-minute walk back to the hotel after skiing, and a three-minute walk to the shopping street. A perfect choice for Levi Ski Resort

Lovely hotel invite heart of town but lacks an indoor children's area when socialising in the lounge

Really nice rooms, very clean. The kids play room is a huge pluse if you are with kids.

The spa has 9 Saunas in total and several pools, love the tiny hot pool at 2 floor. Nice massage jets in the bigger pools

We have 4 beds camping summer house. Located just next to the lake. Refrigerator, microwave and some cupboards in the house. One of the upstairs bed is much smaller. We rent the bedsheets and towels for €13 pp

You can choose to live in apartment, villa, small og big cabin, tent or park a camper. Shared kitchen and wc/douche are clean and big enough. Camping offers free sauna every morning which we enjoued much

You cal also find a private beach and orhet places where you can swim in the lake. Mojority of cabins have a lave wiev. You cal also find a good restorant in campings area and mini waterpark which is popular among kids

Cute, little and comfortable houses. Clean and accessible, shared kitchen, bathrooms and showers. Great sauna.

There are some spots we can swim on the lake. A car can be parked easily next to the house

Opens at 8:30 and has a play area. A real lifesaver for the rainy days with a toddler

There is also a possibility to play pool

A nice place for family. I would visit again

The service was amazing! The staff were so nice and the food was really good. Pricey yes, but so is everything around the hotel area.

Located in the Holiday club Saimaa. Sports bar with fast food type menu: burgers, nachos, fish&chips etc. Menu is fairly priced compared to the quality. Lots of pictures hanging from a wall

O'Leary's, the same as pretty much expected. Some servers very attentive, some not so much. Our dinner went well overall, however.

One of the best hotel we stayed in the Scandic region. The only hotel out of 10 that has a bathtub and a swimming pool too. Has both heater and air conditioning. No idea why essential such as a kettle is not provided.

great location and good service, average hotel that meets all our needs as a family that goes out most of the day for day tours :)

Walking to the hotel takes 16 min. Swimming Pool is good but opening hours are very short (limited to afternoon from 3pm to 7pm)

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

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.

Good for a family stay but their breakfast is a mess, at least during summer months. Good variety of food but it’s crowded and service personnel don’t really make effort to clean tables

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.

A nice hotel near the tram station and ferry to Tallinn. Hotel swimming pool is heated and sauna is nice.Nice view from the frozen sea at the room.

If you want to have a real swimming pool, the pool in the hotel is far too small. But you can have a good view from the pool. Everything else is fine, we had a pleasant stay.

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 is my always hotel when I come to Helsinki since they were opened like 7-8 years ago. Good location, and I like the breakfast spread. Looking forward to stay here in my next trip

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

Fantastic stay! I really loved the swimming pool and sauna. They were very clean and relaxing. Highly recommended for travelers who love to sauna!

The choice of food is staggering because you are in a shopping mall. Some very welcome items such as tuna, warm rice pudding and hummus as well as the usual continental choices and hot food

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

Central location, 10 min walk from train station, and embedded in the IsoKristina mall, so plenty of restaurants and bars walkable without winter attire

Parking on first floor is limited but plenty of space on the upper floor. Room was bigger than expected with kettle and tea/coffee

I loved it so much but got sad because another customer lady yelled at me because my partner wanted to take a photo of me in the pool even though she didn’t appear on the frame nor did anyone else

My 1st visit to Helsinki was impressive by Valo Hotel with their friendliness and helpful staff. The daily buffet breakfast are also very good spread. Nice juices and with good coffee.

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

The wellness centre on the top floor is cool - two saunas, steam room, pool, jacuzzi and plunge pool. Staff on the front desk were friendly and quickly helped us with a cot and change of sheets

I took my partner here for a long weekend so we could visit Helsinki. Breakfast and wellness facilities were included which both were very nice. Easy transport to the city and airport

i had a great stay in this hotel. i experienced a refreshing atmosphere. quite impressive architecture. but the only problem is the location. far from city center / tourist area

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.

Ystävällinen palvelu, upea huone kauniilla näköalalla, saunatilat ja uima-allas plussaa. Hyvä aamiainen ja runsaasti vegaanisia vaihtoehtoja

Totally recommended. Excellent service, excellent rooms, excellent location and excellent sauna.

Easy check-in, good Amarillo bar and restaurant, clean rooms, staff very nice.

Very nice hotel, nice view on panorama of Tampere from top floors...

Unfortunate the heating was not up to the cold weather and having pros on the first night I asked for heater which I did and it’s warmed up the room considering

This would’ve been wonderful in the  summer but in the  cold weather……. The hotel is close to transport routes accessing all parts of city. I would definitely stay there again next time…… maybe in the summer

Good service, various choice in breakfast and special thanks to Miss Pinky to let us got breakfast on Monday morning as we were rush went to Ferry Terminal to Tallinn,

(minor gripe: only the scrambled eggs are made from instant eggs/powder, which is in stark contrast with the quality of everything else. Pro tip: ask for an omelette instead;) )

The location is good, near lake and 15 mins walking distance to the center of city. The hotel is old

Amazing hotel, in a good area of Helsinki. Not too far from the beach. Decor is very modern. The gym is huge for a hotel gym. Also allowed me to use the gym/spa area after I checked out before my evening flight.

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.

Unfortunately, it couldn’t be lowered below 20°C, which made it a bit too warm for my personal preference, especially at night

Overall, a great experience and I would definitely recommend it — especially if you value a top-notch breakfast and stylish rooms

Great experience, very nice room and amazing food

The highlight, however, was definitely the breakfast: a fantastic selection of fresh, high-quality options that made every morning a treat. The only downside was the room temperature

Very nice hotel. I loved the room. It was clean and very nice. The meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner were very good as well. The staff were pretty nice and the service was quick.

The rooms are decorated with very nice, Scandinavian touches. The breakfast was the best one we got in all of Scandinavia. And the hotel has 3 bikes which you can ride for free

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

The room was clean and comfortable but it would have been nice to have a fan since it was quite warm

I really enjoyed this location, sauna, and pool. In the breakfast I could try many kinds of foods.

Location. Clean. Staff. Breakfast.

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

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

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.

Nice hotel near market square and railway station.

On Saturday the Finns sing karaoke sad songs. Russian songs is not in the database - and the success of the bar would have been provided! Beer 6-7 €. Sovetuetes SPA hotel: quiet, saunas, pools,food

Took me days to decide if we should go visit since I checked many reviews. Eventually decided to check it myself: the dinner buffet was out of expectation, we enjoyed most of the food

Got taken by some software engineers from turku when they came past Lappeenranta on an excursion. This is the first place we went to and I've got to admit quite a weird fun chill place to visit

The spa was fun but really really cold, if the temperature would be slightly higher, I will for sure give 5 stars!

There was also a pretty long water slide, but its signalling system was constantly misbehaving and people just stood there minutes waiting even when the previous person had long since cleared the slide

The pool section also showed its age in a lot places, with stuff looking worn down, rusty or broken

The hotel's breakfast is clearly better than usual and the staff is friendly. An omelet made to order and real orange juice topped off a good breakfast

Great hotel in optimal location! Everything interesting is within walking distance. Spacious enough room, very good breakfast and friendly staff.

We stopped overnight at the Radisson Blu in Oulu during our road trip. We got a parking place for our car in front of the main door, there were also parking spaces for hotel guests in the hotel's backyard

Comfortable environment, comfortable bed

It is quite convenient for business travel, the room is clean and tidy, and the service is OK. The price in Oulu is still quite expensive.

Good hygiene, good service, free room upgrade, good location

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. 👍🌹

Shower was a tad small, otherwise a nice, quiet, tidy room. Breakfast was really good at least for my Finnish taste.

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

Day time room was very warm, no adjustable aircon available or possibility to open window.

We stayed in this place only for one night but we loved it: rooms, people at the reception, breakfast. We will definitely recommend this hotel.

Expensive, like most hotels in Finland these days. Clean and modern rooms. Great breakfast! Parking is sparse at the hotel, so we parked at the Sokos park house about 2 blocks away.

Nice cozy hotels, in the restaurant, delicious food, convenient location.

It was a good stay in a perfect place. Many thanks

Wonderful hotel staff was very nice place was very clean. The room was very comfortable and spacious.

The room was very comfortable and kept tidy by the staff. The location is also very convenient. Checkout is quite late which was perfect for us, but breakfast ends a bit early during the week.

Nice hotel and great breakfast BUT I was staying there as my mum was in hospital with an undetermined leave date, so had to book again when she was not allowed to leave

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

Internal parking near the entrance. Rooms: no toothpaste, no holatov - minus, but this is a reservation from the host groan. Breakfast - everyone will find what is acceptable to him. The overall impression is satisfied

Great place tö relax and rest. Good service, a lot to choose for.breakfast, also good set of gluten free choices. Cosy and clean sauna with thick towels and linnen pamphlets.

Beautiful rooms, you can connect a computer to the TV. A very good sauna for women, there is a relaxation area, face and body masks, tea. Delicious breakfasts with smoked fish and other delicacies

It is so accessible from the train station and close to downtown. The walk to university campus through downtown was good, too. We had a great stay!

The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, making us feel truly welcome. Upon arrival, we were delighted to find our room beautifully decorated with balloons and flowers, adding a special touch to our stay

The breakfast buffet was outstanding, offering a wide variety of options to suit every taste. Overall, our experience was memorable, and I highly recommend this hotel for its service and attention to detail

Pidän siitä että minua tervehditään hotellissa. Tästä täydet pisteet henkilökunnalle. Vastaanotossa ja ravintolassa saimme upeaa palvelua. Ystävällinen siivooja tervehti meitä iloisesti.

A wonderful stay. Pleasant staff and the spa was excellent. The rooms could be better soundproofed, as noise from the corridor was quite loud.

A very beautiful and clean hotel. We booked the pool and Sauna and it was wonderful. The breakfast at this hotel is amazing!

We enjoyed it all, including the spa facilities. Efforts made toward special characteristics for the cuisine, happily preserved however with a general traditional line. Nothing missing in the wine cellar

Great service and excellent spa Great service, requested early check-in due to a wedding we were attending. That was handled professionally by the employees

(You asked about the cleaning: it was next to perfect not only in the room but in the hotel and restaurant as well: 4 stars

It's close to Aalto's villa, and the city center is easily accessible by tram. However, arriving from the airport by public transportation (train and bus) was inconvenient, so I recommend taking a taxi

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

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

Besides Aalto's villa and studio, the Akseli Gallen-Kallela Museum, Didrichsen, Villa Gullenberg, and the former presidential residence of Tamminiemi are also nearby

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!

The hotel is very spacious and clean, and the location is excellent. It's easy to hail an Uber, and there's a bus stop right outside the hotel that goes directly to Santa Claus Village, which is super convenient

The location was good with bus service to major places at doorstep. Reception staff was very helpful, breakfast was good. Only thing lacking was electric kettle in the rooms and no glasses in the room

We stayed in a different accommendation where we could not leave our luggage after check out. The lady at the reception in the Scandic helped us as we stayed before two nights in the Scandic in Tromso

It was during the Christmas season, so it was a bit pricey, but it was a great stay. The next day, when I told them I couldn't eat breakfast due to a flight, they prepared a breakfast box for me

Although it is a long walk to the room, meals are included and the room is spacious, so the satisfaction level is very high.

The breakfast spread is amazing; I looked forward to it every morning!

The surrounding is amazing - forest and lakes behind the hotel. A lot of activities available - tracking, swimming, sauna etc.

I think it is also kid friendly place, the friends who recommend us this hotel has been going back, we love our stay 🥰

We had an amazing trip in the hotel! The quality of food, the closest to the nature, the service are amazing

Great location, good breakfast, good sauna and swimming in the lake.

One of the ugliest hotels I’ve been to. The surrounding area is lush, however the outside of the hotel looks like a bunker. Rooms are ok, staff is friendly. Food is good.

Amazing nature, amazing breakfast, for the price you pay you get more than you usually would have waited to. Small fridge in the room would be nice

But mind you: only small cups of tea, no kettle! That was a bit hard for me to handle. 😅 My room was big, with a large window overlooking the lake and the velvety night sky. It felt as if I were far away from the city

We used the hotel bikes to visit the city, and the route was super nice! Reception staff didnt give any information without specifically asking (breakfast time, check out time, pool / sauna hours, parking)

That’s one picturesque location indeed! Lovely view and great opportunities for walks. The hotel is nice — you can borrow a bathrobe for a small fee if needed

The reception was fast and friendly. The hhotel itself is oldish and nothing fancy, but has everything you need. There is a pool are in the basement and a very small gym

Nice location with a swimming pool and good saunas. Beach near by and tons of activities. The hotel allows you to rent bikes or you can take a bus

Breakfast was delicious and vegetarian-friendly
