Holiday Inn Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, an IHG Hotel

On this trip being able to arrive in the middle of the night was essential - got the last bus on the airport shuttle. Soon settled in knowing that the breakfast buffet finished at 9:30 on a weekday. Easy to sleep although there was some work going on next to the building after 8am. Good bathroom facilities - shower not bath, but that wouldnt have been expected at the price. Plenty of choice on the breakfast buffet - hot and cold. The easiest way to the City Centre is to use the shuttle bus which is free and then catch the train from the Airport, and back at the end of the day. Tea and coffee in room and extra treats such as hot chocolate and sweets. Early wake up call on the second day worked great. Had a mini workout on the last day as checkout was noon - gym onsite, was only person in it at the time.

Shuttle bus service was brilliant from the airport to the hotel door taking approximately 10 mins. Pickup was from platform 42 as advised by hotel receptionist when we called for advise. All staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful and the room was ver clean. Took the bus back to airport in the evening then the train into Helsinki for food at the Zetor Restaurant. Early departure from the hotel the next morning - breakfast started at 5am which was perfect and delicious. Bus back to the airport at 5.20. Would definately recommend hotel and location.

This is a great hotel if you want to stay close to Helsinki airport. The rooms were pretty basic but were clean and comfortable which is very important. The bistro in the restaurant was also nice (but the food portions felt a bit small compared to the prices). The big plus of the hotel is the free shuttle bus to the airport that runs every around 20mins. The bus literally stops outside the hotel’s entry, goes to 2-3 other hotels and then to the airport (takes about 10 minutes in total). Very convenient.

Close to the airport and very convenient as we were able to sleep a little longer before catching the shuttle for our early morning flight. We liked having a free shuttle to and from the airport, always punctual. There is a train at the airport to downtown Helsinki we were able to do some siteseeing for a couple of hours. We stayed for one night so we didn't use any of the other hotel facilities offered.

I commend Ramina from reception, she was very pleasant, accomodating and very chatty. She even went to deliver the bucket of ice and kettle herself to our room.She gave us info where to go to eat as well. The hotel is fine except it didnt have a.mini fridge and also the mattress is thin. Good location as it is a walking distance to the mall and also theres a shuttle service going to the airport.
