Ulasan Hotel Arthur

We had a good stay at Hotel Arthur. The location was pretty convenient for us - it was a 5 minute walk from Helsinki's Central Station for platforms going to/from the airport, tram service was nearby and it was within a 15-20 minute walk of everything we wanted to see in Helsinki. We booked this hotel because it was inexpensive for our stay and it was pretty pleasant.The breakfast was included with our stay and was welcome as well. We booked a twin room with two twin beds. The beds were comfy and we found extra pillows in the closet. We had a really good sleep each night at the hotel because it was very quiet. The room had a couple of chairs including a pretty big cushioned one, a desk and a TV that was mounted high. The room could be a little better with the cleaning of the tv remote and kettle but the beds and bathroom were fine. The hotel is over 100 years old and we felt the hotel showed its age the most in the room because there are some renovations that have been done over the years and it is pretty evident . Our room only had plug-ins at the desk and there was none near the night stand by the beds. The closets were in need of some maintenance because the door tracks were a bit stiff, the floor was peeling and the drywall in the back was loose. The shower used to have sliding doors as evident by the track that wasn't removed but the shower had a curtain that was too short and the floor squeegee was there for a reason because the water went everywhere when I showered. Shower pressure was fine and it was easy to get plenty of hot water. You may want to consider bringing your own bath products because the shower gel was meant for hand soap, body wash and shampoo. The hotel has saunas that you can book upon request. If you book your hotel reservation directly through the hotel you can get a discounted rate of 8 euros per person for the sauna but if you book through another website it is 10 euros per person. There is a nicer sauna that is shown in the pictures of the hotel but it fills up pretty quickly. We got the other sauna and it was ok but was in need of some cleaning because previous guests left their wet towels all over the place instead of in the towel bin located under a bench. We felt it was silly to charge a different rate if you booked through another platform because we wouldn't have heard of this hotel if we didn't use the platform we used! The breakfast was pretty standard and I had a nice English breakfast each day from the buffet. The mushrooms, sausage and hash browns were my favourite but I grew to enjoy the scrambled eggs during my stay because they add something to it that I'm not used to. They also had yoghurt, cereals, cold cut meats, fruit and cheese amongst other standard breakfast staples. They had a juice dispenser, a small selection of tea and black coffee. They also had items that you could pay for at the bar like a cappuccino or chocolate chip muffin. The reception area was pretty good. They had luggage storage and quite a few chairs to sit in. My wife liked their small souvenir shop and got some cute post cards. The staff are very helpful and can provide recommendations for the city. The reception also provide tea and sugar for your room and you can pick up your rations daily. They do not provide regular cleaning for the rooms but you can arrange cleaning or new towels through reception. There are plenty of sights to see nearby as well as cafes, restaurants and shopping malls. The tram is a short walk away and that was very convenient for us as we did a day trip to Tallinn using the ferries to go across the sea. We booked this hotel because it was affordable in a pretty expensive city and we would still recommend it if the pieces are fair. It was a good place to sleep and unwind after each day we spent exploring the area.

Staff are friendly and helpful although cleaning can do a bit better. Location is very nice for such a cheap price. Would recommend to travelers who want to save up some money while living in the city centre.

Very smooth check in process and good ambience.

Great location to central train station, supermarket,tokmanni dept store, landmark attractions, kamppi bus terminal for daytrip to porvoo, ferry ride to suomen fortress. Newly renovated room in a 100 year old hotel, bathroom heater to dry towel, very smiley staff, good healthy filling breakfast. Most recommended hotel!

Good hotel,friendly and quiet

The location is very close to the city center. On a walking distance from Bus, tramp, subway stations. The furnishings is not in good condition but given the fact the rate cost and the included breakfast in it I think it is acceptablefor quick 1 or 2 nights. For long stay it is better to look for another alternatives.

Great location, and friendly staff, although rooms are a bit dated, and felt they definitely need a renovation. Had no issues though, and it did the job and for a fair price.

Hotel is in the centre of the city and convenient for transport, shopping and restaurants. The hotel staff were all helpful and friendly. The room was a bit shabby but comfortable. Breakfast was good with lots of choice.

This hotel simply delivers what you would expect: a great location near the central railway station, making it easy to reach any place in the city center, either by public transport or on foot. The room does its job and is clean, offering a very good price-to-quality ratio, especially considering the availability of a rich breakfast (with special attention to gluten-free products).

Front desk staff are very polite and friendly. The shower is very weak and highly recommended to be improved
