Top Otaniemi Hotel Reviews

Lapland Hotels Bulevardi

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly and attentive staff. Beautifully decorated and spotless. Could not recommend more."

Comfort Hotel Helsinki Airport

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed one night at the Comfort Inn due to an early flight the next morning. The room is very comfortable but utilitarian but well thought out with the way it has been planned. Don’t expect a kettle or cups or anything like that but the hotel provides free coffee in the reception area. The breakfast next door in conjunction with the Clarion Hotel is excellent and starts at 4am which caters to those who have early flights out of Helsinki. Would definitely stay again."
