I'm really enjoying my time at the Sokos Hotel Albert. The rooms are really modern and cute, with a funky design. It's really nice to see after so many drab hotels. It's no wonder that Helsinki is the World Design Capital of 2012. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The restaurant downstairs has really good food, and breakfast was... More

The main thing I remember from this stay is a decent sized room. Location was good and close enough to everything. Most of the decoration in the room was pretty new including huge television. We did not encounter any problems with our stay so I'll rate this hotel very good. Food tip: On the corner of the block (left from... More

The hotel is easy to reach by public transport (5min direct tram from the central station) and offers excellent quality for the price (less than 100 euros). Nice district with beautiful buildings, many shops and 10-15min walking to the centre (well, there was so much snow&ice that one had to walk very slowly those days!) ; the building looks rather...

However, i will say it is very late and I am tired so please take that into consideration. Am traveling solo but booked this hotel based on location, price and that it offered a... More

First of all: Very friendly and helpful staff! When we arrived, they told us that they could help us finding restaurants, making bookings for us etc. Definately thumbs up for the staff! The location is very good. Walking distance from city centre, close to a.o. the Alexander Theatre and the Hietalahti Market Hall, and also very close to a kiosk... More

Rooms are spacious and the interior is nice. There was a huge old stain on the wall, but otherwise the room was clean. There is a small flat-screen tv in the room, but watching the basics channels is not so simple due to tv-system of the hotel. It is nice there is ironing board ready in the room and you... More

Simply a good hotel, quiet and cosy, spacious enough rooms. No problem with late check-in. Free wi-fi. Very good breakfast selection including fresh jams, yummy cereals (but really yummy!), delicious continental variety, and - Lord bless them - good coffee!

This was my first trip to Helsinki partly business, partly (mainly) pleasure. I was struggling to find a hotel that was centrally located but also a good value and a nice place. Upon reading the reviews I decided on hotel Albert and was not disappointed. Location: Helsinki is pretty small (as compared to other European capitals) so it is easy... More

I had a 24 hour stopover in Helsinki so I stayed at this hotel because of the reviews and rates. I wasn't disappointed at all since it was reasonable and at the same time very decent, and on top of that, nicely located. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Helsinki.
