Medvastö Beach Holidays

N

We opted for a sauna in our room, which we made good use of, both nights of our stay! We’d recommend the upgrade. The staff were all super helpful and breakfast was exceptional. Excellent local cuisine and good coffee, there is an omelette station that we’d recommend trying. Breakfast is served until lunch time on weekends, making for a very relaxing morning! One slight hiccup; we didn’t head to breakfast until 10:30am on day one, so the room wasn’t available to housekeeping until we left for the day at 11:30. We left a sign on the door asking for the room to be serviced, but it had not been when we came back at 7pm. It’s a small thing, having a made bed is always nice when you return to your room, and having to wash your own mugs and tidy up is an irritation. We asked for extra coffee pods that arrived swiftly, and this is a minor thing. Had we left earlier in the day, we are sure the room would have been tended to. We can’t imagine coming to Helsinki and staying anywhere else, thank you!

We have stayed in this hotel 3 times and have been totally happy with everything. It has the best location in the very center of Helsinki, easy walking distance from the railroad station (which has an easy connection to the airport), stores, restaurants and sights. The international staff is extremely courteous, friendly and helpful. The restaurant offers very good food and is open late. The lobby offers comfortable seating areas and a friendly bar. The rooftop bar has a great view over the city and has a very interesting cocktail menu and mixologists who explain your drink to you. The rooms are very clean and nice. On our last stay we received an upgrade and that room was quite spacious. This is definitely the hotel where I want to stay during my annual visits to my original home city (I live in California).

Outstanding!
