Hilton Helsinki Kalastajatorppa

Very pleasant hotel, some distance outside of Helsinki city centre - took 30 mins by tram. Lovely views out to sea and enjoyed great sunsets. Hotel has its own tiny beach. Staff were very pleasant and helpful at all times.

Dirty, old, run down and expensive for what it is. No toiletries even should be in the room. Need to ask for toiletries, but it is a 4+star hotel! Bathrobe is for 10eur in standard room, again should be free at 4+star hotel! Water is 6 eur for 1 small bottle in a standard room or if not a member. Breakfast area is too small. Swimming pool is a puddle for kids and mildew is in bathrooms too! Private beach is 5 m sand pad, do not expect much! Could not check in early at 11am before 2pm even rooms were available, because of hospitality lack of Finnish front desk staff! Food is ok, variety, but presentation is sloppy. The only good thing about this hotel are the green pine trees, birches and other trees around with calm atmosphere and no traffic, noise. Tennis court is available, maybe for a fee. Tram 4 goes directly to city center...overall, I would NOT stay again or not suggest to anyone, as this place is overpriced, unfriendly, old and dirty!

Beautiful hotel with wonderful reception staffs(Nicholas, Tony...thank you!!!). Nice breakfast and easy transport to city center with tram no.4 which is just around the corner. Had a great 7days of stay.

I was looking forward to this hotel. It was my last stop before flying back to Oregon. The commute from the airport was relatively easy. We took the I train to Huopalahti. Then took bus 552 to the stop about a 7 minute walk from the hotel. When we walked up to the hotel we were amazed! It was right by the lake, and there were lots of activities to do. It was clean looking. We explored the property for awhile, and then decided to go eat dinner. We ended up eating at the restaurant on the property. We chose to eat outside, the waiter got our orders, and gave us our drinks. Then time was going by, everyone was getting their food, except for us. An hour went by. Still no food. Eventually our waiter noticed. Went to see what happened. They missed our ticket. After a half hour more we finally got our food. He gave us free drinks as well. We are, then went back to the hotel where the fire alarm was going off. People were still inside. The staff didn’t know why it was going off. The fire department cane and turned it off. We went back to our room. I decided to shower. Water got everywhere. The seal on the bottom wasn’t good, but there’s a drain for this reason. Went to sleep. Was awoken at 6:30 a.m. by a loud speaker telling me they were going to test the fire alarm, and it was a drill. I understand testing it, but 6:30 a.m.???? Ridiculous. Beautiful hotel, but it was a terrible one night stay. Not sure if I’d go here again.

Bed little hard,but roam very comfortable,wish they had hot tub
