Scandic Paasi

The hotel is in a lovely square just off the main road. Location was great, with a main tram station just over the road. The tram network is so good, with trams into town every 2/3 minutes and they only take 10-20 mins depending where you're going of course. It's also walkable. Rooms were quiet and beds were really comfortable. Breakfast was very good. There was a separate dedicated area for gluten free and lactose free diets. So thoughtful. Reception had a nice design with comfy sofas and a small bar, with great (but not loud) music. There is also an outdoor seating area. There is also a gym although we didn't used it.

The room was very spacious and nice looking, there was excellent consideration for families with small children. Unlike most other options we considered this one also had a breakfast included, whilst being the cheapest of similar options. The staff was very friendly to our kid and made his trip amazing.

The room was good and functional, with a small safe provided for valuables (too small for a tablet or laptop). Staff were very friendly and helpful with any questions. There was a small fridge which made up the minibar, which can be re-purposed if you have something to keep cold.

The location of the hotel was good. The room we stayed in was comfortable and had a kitchenette which was really helpful. The beds were comfy and the room was generally quiet except for Saturday night when a few more guests came in late etc. The staff were very helpful and friendly. There was an excellent breakfast provided.

Great location. Easy to get to from Helsinki Airport, straight on the 600 bus door to door, 40 mins. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Hotel is lovely and clean. We had a superior room so it was huge and had everything we needed. Very comfortable. Breakfast included was great, large selection of choices including separate gluten free and vegan options for those that need them. We did Tokoinranta parkrun which is just behind the hotel, less than 2 mins walk and left our bags at the hotel before the run then picked them up before hopping on the bus. Would definitely stay at a Scandic again. Good location to explore the city of foot or by public transport. Close to the Botanical Gardens and easy walk to the Cathedral.
