Oona the receptionist was super friendly, very polite, very professional and provided excellent service. The breakfast was delicious, only the space fills very tight and it's usually very crowded... The staff was overall excellent and worked very hard! Many thanks for your service! We will definitely come back again, and we will recommend.

It was kind of away from everything but it was close to a pharmacy and a cafe, a burger place too. It also had a sauna which i got to use on the night before my departure because of its limited timeframe that could have been used. Breakfast included was nice, only took advantage of that option the morning before i was set to leave, because i don't usually have options like these in general and i fully forgot this was available.

I booked a windowless room but later was given a very good room with a window and on the top floor. I was impressed by the size of the room, very spacious and it had everything I need for a hotel of this caliber. Breakfast with a good selection was included. What for me is very nice is that the bathrooms are equipped with a bidet and that the room has a safe box. On top of that I think it's insane value that they offer a sauna that is free-to-use for guests on the top floor. The hotel is also conveniently located very close to Urheilutalo (Idrottshuset) tram stop served by lines 2 and 4 as well. Overall, very good value for money for that level of service, offered by such a renowned chain (Scandic) in Helsinki. Would definitely stay here again the next time I go to Helsinki.

The location is in the Kalio district which is serviced by the tram system as well as the metro station Sornainen which is about ten-minute walk. I found a lovely way to walk to the city center via a path that follows the perimeter of Toolonlahti Bay. This route you will encounter people, birds, waterfowl, along with beautiful scenery. The breakfast was all that one could ask for with variety and quality. The room was good size, spotless, and supplied with all the necessities that one would need.

We were very happy with our choice to stay at this hotel. The room was relatively small, but you don't spend that much time there. After initially getting a double bed, we were able to switch to 2 separate beds - as I had requested when booking. Contrary to my expectations and what I had read, you could turn off the air conditioning and open the window a little, which is a big plus for me. The location is great. It's a 15-20 minute tram ride into the center, but Kallio is a great neighborhood with lots of restaurants and is very nice and relaxed. We liked the breakfast the most. The selection was very large and varied and there was a special corner for gluten-free and vegan products.

This was the second time we stayed in Scandic Kallio, so we pretty much knew what to expect (windowless room with a student-friendly price). The staff is nice and the location good. The room was spacious enough for the price, the beds were good and everything was clean - except the bedframe covers, where we found a stray pube & some sort of grease stains... The soap dispenser in the bathroom was also broken. The breakfast is the best thing in this location, so a huge recommendation!

Breakfast was really plentiful with lots of choice. The room was small, but perfectly enough for one person. The hotel was within easy public transport connections from the city center. Great experience!

The staff was very flexible and fulfilled my extra request regarding the location of the booked rooms. Special thanks for that! I liked the environmental awareness, as they drew attention to food waste. There was even a recycling bin in the room. The breakfast selection was rich, everyone can find what they like.

The location is good, especially if you are coming to the exposition center. It has good connection to the city or anywhere you need to be as well. The beds were comfortable, the breakfast was good, the staff helpful and friendly, and there's a small "shop" next to the reception for coffee, snacks and basic toiletries.
