We just spent three nights at the Hotel Fabian and thoroughly enjoyed it. The location is perfect, about 10 minutes to the harbor and less to the Esplanade, so we were able to walk everywhere. The were all friendly and helpful, and breakfast was plentiful. Bright and spacious room.

Simple really - this is the first place I call when looking to stay in Helsinki. Be warned, they get booked up very quickly.

The Fabian is located on a rather dull street opposite the Finnish Ministry of Defence, but within a short walk of Esplanaden and Helsinki's wonderful old port.

Having traveled to and lived in Helsinki (married to a Finn) many times, this is my new favourite hotel. The location is excellent. The room was great, comfortable bed, simply decorated, with all that you need. Excellent breakfast. All in all, a great choice with good service/
