Great central location, really nice hotel
Such a great location and the staff were super friendly and helpful. The breakfast was pretty good, although it’s such a massive hotel with such little space to sit abe eat. The room was really clean and decorated nicely and the bed was so comfy. The only thing missing for me was a kettle in the room - it would have been nice to have a hot drink back in the room after such a cold day. But other than that it was brilliant.

Great location and service
Great central location. Right next to the central train station where there’s easy access to trams, metros and buses. Rooms are clean, great breakfast. Theres no coffee maker/hot water kettle or teas/coffee in the rooms. You have to ask the front desk and they can provide kettles/teas etc. great hotel and service

Comfortable clean stay
My stay at the Scandic Grand Central Helsinki was wonderful. I was between a flight from Helsinki and a train to Rovaniemi and it was so conveniently close to where you can get the train from the city to the airport and all the longer trains, both at the Central Station. It was close to great dining and drink options but tucked off the beaten path so there was no noise. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The bathroom was clean and well appointed. The only thing was breakfast was only decent and it was very crowded but it was included so it worked. I would recommend this hotel for anyone coming to Helsinki for a night or for a longer trip.

The staff was wonderful and welcoming from the moment I set foot on the premises until my departure. I had all my needs and questions addressed quickly and easily. The breakfast buffet was divine, and the breadth of food and drink options was tremendous -- don't sleep in and miss it. The location couldn't be more perfect -- a few steps from the train station, surrounded by museums and shopping, with easy access to all the public transit options. If you're staying here, definitely get the Helsinki Card with the metro options. It'll totally be worth it for all you can see on foot and otherwise.

We had stayed another hotel in Helsinki before Scandic Grand Central, which is Origjnal Sokos Hotel Vaakuna Helsinki. We found that Origjnal Sokos Hotel Vaakuna Helsinkiwas much better, the service and the property itself are much better. When we checked in to Scandic Grand Central, we found that the room has high pitching noise, and we tried to call reception a few times and no one pick up, after around 5 times, someone pick up the phone and asked us to call back or come to reception later, cos they are so many people checking on. So we waited until late afternoon, we went down to reception and complained about the pitching noise, we’re even shown the video with the noise, the man don’t know what to do and asked another lady, but she was busy with other customer and kind of ignored it. So the man came up to our room and checked it, he can hear the noise and at the end he pressed the button on the air conditioning screen, the noise is gone. Because of this, he doesn’t want to change the room for us for all the hassle. But the noise came back another 2 days mornings which was so annoying! The price I paid was more than Origjnal Sokos Hotel Vaakuna Helsinki, if I would choose again, I won’t stay in this hotel!
