Really good. Great location, great room, great staff, great value. I loved the feel of the hotel, too. The stay was just what I needed - so much so that I tried to book a room for a second night later in the week ... but had no joy!

Great location
Older property on the fifth floor of the building. Some quirkiness due to age, but great central location and a tram stop literally right outside the door of the building. I had an emergency when my original lodging was cancelled hours before check-in, and Senate Hotel was able to accommodate me at very short notice.

It was very central to Helsinki City centre a 8 min stroll to centre shops & restaurant /cafes. Plus a fair price, not overly expensive, Only thing was the shared bathroom & shower facilities are shared for all rooms I think. But that's a small price to pay for a clean tidy room at half the price of similar hotels in Helsinki, plus there's a cool Kereoke bar on street level open till 4am popular with local Helsinki party goers.
