Really comfy beds and great showers. Conveniently located close to parkrun. Would have liked hot drink making facilities in rooms - hot drinks in reception weren’t cheap and the hot chocolate wasn’t the best. Overall, would recommend.

Scandic Paasi exceeded my expectations at every level. From the wonderful reception from Janni at check in to the well-appointed room and fabulous breakfast, this was a first rate stay from beginning to end. I particularly enjoyed the breakfast buffet which was always varied and plentiful, and enhanced even further by the wonderfully friendly staff. Annika even visited each table every morning with freshly baked cinnamon rolls and a cheerful greeting, which was just lovely and that something extra that will linger happily in your memory. The hotel is also perfectly placed with easy access to transit, but is also very walkable to the city centre and its many attractions. I can highly recommend this hotel and would not hesitate to return. Thank you for a wonderful stay Scandic Paasi, you were superb.

I traveled with my daughter and the room was very comfortable. The beds were very nice and so was the bathroom. Breakfast was fantastic. Lots of options for my celiac daughter. Metro, tram and bus stops were just a five minute walk away and there is a 24 hour supermarket also about 5 minutes away with a great salad bar and fresh fruits and delicious baked goods. It is not in the city center but the train and tram get you there in about 10 minutes.

Great hotel, funky decor with spacious rooms

We travelled as family and couldn’t fault the hotel. Rooms are spacious, clean and have all amenities. The staff are super friendly and went out of their way to help. The breakfast selection was huge, great coffee and lots of fresh local food which was lovely. The hotel is cool, with lots of funky features. Our room had a balcony which was great, especially in a city centre hotel in a prime location. There is a play room for kids which was a nice touch Great access to all public transport and about a 15min walk into the centre itself

The breakfast was nice and much appreciated by all. Staff were generally kind and helpful. Location is very convenient and walkable. However, the cleaning was subpar. We travelled as a family and I have to say our room was barely ever cleaned our entire stay. Granted, as a family we make much more of a mess than a regular couple, but simple things like coffee and teas were never replenished, the glasses never changed, the sheets changed maybe once for a long stay. The room was small/cramped, a bit outdated and I feel a bit worn out.

Very good hotel in quiet setting

Excellent hotel away from main roads. Easy walk into the centre of Helsinki. My only complaint is regarding the breakfast - this was fine except that there was no espresso- type coffee and the fruit options were limited. Otherwise, everything was very good.

The Scandic Paasi is a great little hotel. The location in Hakaniemi is excellent, just across the bridge from the centre of the city and an easy 20 minute walk from the central station. The hotel is tucked away on a square behind the main street, and it was extremely quiet during my stay. As other guests have stated, the breakfast selection is huge considering the price band of the hotel with a wide selection of hot and cold options. The only downside for me is the in room ventilation which, in common with many hotels in Finland in my experience, doesn't actually give you full control of the temperature, despite looking like a proper air conditioning control unit. This meant the room was a bit warm for my taste, but it wasn't a major issue.

Time to renovate

The hotel is run down and needs some tlc. Itook good at entrance but rooms are dark and needs to be renovated. Had to change room, as the first room was just too old and smelly. On the upside the staff is really friendly, and the hotel has a focus ln the environment.

Rooms in poor standard.

First time ever that I give 1 “star” but the water from sink was leaking straight down on the floor upon tapping water. There were also some other matters but that could have been accepted. However, despite calling the reception (on my own phone, internal phone did not work…) AND making a note for adjustment, NOTHING was resolved the next evening! Staff tried its best but that does not help when you cannot use your bathroom…

Not as it seems…… !!

Hotel is in a peaceful location about a 15- 20 min walk from the Carhederal and waterfront. It also has the tram stop just across the road which was helpful. There are a few bars and eatery’s near by too and a handy supermarket about 2 min walk away. The hotel itself was ok. Our room was on the sixth floor with no balcony or kitchenette etc even though we booked a superior plus room apparently there are lots of different types of these - not made clear when booking!! Our Air Con did not work and the room was very hot. We had been given one small fan for the large room. Even after reporting the Air Von not working 3 different times it’s was never fixed during our weeks stay and never any follow up with us from the reception staff. We had asked for another fan but never received it!!!!! Beware booking a taxi from the reception too as our taxi cancelled on us at the 12th hour (it was booked for 35 Euro) we had to book one via reception who told us it was 45 Euro but when we came down to check out this went up to 51 Euro… because we had asked to pre book it apparently?!?! Very annoying and stressful TBH. It is VERY expensive in Helsinki and they charge you for everything it seems so be on your guard!!
