Excellent boutique hotel with all the amenities

The Hobo Helsinki was an amazing boutique hotel. It had beautifully appointed, clean, and comfortable rooms with a lovely en suite bathroom, incredible staff, terrific environmental sustainability efforts in house, a truly expansive and delicious breakfast buffet, strong in hotel security access that was also easy to deal with, and the best location - right downtown, simply a five minute walk from the central train station and near to buses, light rail, and metro. I simply cannot recommend it enough.

Perfect spot in the middle of Helsinki

Top notch location, couldn’t be beat. So much around, right in the center of things. All the staff I interacted with were friendly and helpful. Great breakfast buffet! Bathroom wonderful, loved the extra touches like slippers and umbrellas. Luggage storage helped too. Hip and trendy decor was fun.

Amazing place. So clean and perfect location. The gym was fantastic. Probably the best I have seen in any hotel. Breakfast was delicious and with so much variety. The front desk receptionist was not great. ( I arrived at 11 and my room wasn’t ready yet) He could have been more friendly but otherwise I would stay here again and recommend it to everyone

Enjoyed my stay

Hobo Helsinki was great for a short stay but if I was to do a longer stay, I’d expect some more amenities and improvements to take the experience from great to excellent. Good: Good location Fantastic breakfast with lots of options including vegan and gluten free, as well as local specialities Lovely design of the hotel common areas and is it design-forward Had a lovely negroni and pizza from the restaurant Friendly team Luggage storage downstairs is self service which is appreciated Quiet hotel Could be improved: Bins - there is only one tiny bin in the bathroom which is not enough - there should be one in the main room or in the corridor to help guests recycle or get rid of rubbish daily (without having to request a clean) Having a safe in the room to store valuables Having smart TVs for screen sharing, streaming services or more English language channels. The only English language channel that worked for my room was National Geographic and I was unable to screen mirror from my phone to the TV to watch Netflix. More information on arrival / check in (telling me check out times etc) would have been helpful - or this information could be in the room Having a small fridge in-room would have been appreciated if it had been a longer stay for water etc
