We stayed at the Scandic Helsinki Aviacongress after a long transatlantic flight, hoping for a comfortable place to relax and recover from our jetlag. The hotel itself was clean, the room was comfortable, and the staff were polite. However, we were really disappointed to find that the restaurant and bar were closed on Sunday — something we hadn’t been made aware of before booking.
After such a long journey, it would have been great to have somewhere on-site to eat and unwind without having to go back out. If you’re planning to stay here, especially on a Sunday, just be aware that the hotel is pretty much closed up.
