Hestia Hotel Europa

You can park just under the hotel. There are 2 spots for charging. Capacity is however limited. We had room with great view to the port. Breakfast area was very busy, but you have view outside. Location is great for ferry travelors, or just for city explorers like us.

It is busy hotel. The reconstruction of the street to the hotel was confusing if you are coming for the first time.

Staffs are helpful and courteous. Our sea view twin room is very roomy. Breakfast exceptional!!

I really liked the hotel's location. It is very close to the port, within walking distance of the Old Town, and near tram and bus stops. There is also a large shopping center with a hypermarket directly across the street. Both the room and the bathroom were very spacious. The interior was simple and pleasant, everything was very clean, and I appreciated that the windows could be opened. The room also had a fridge, kettle, tea, and coffee. The breakfasts were good enough as well (thank you for the ice cream!). The lobby was cozy, and the terrace was a comfortable place to sit and relax.

As for the things I did not like, I was confused about the air conditioning. It seemed to be centrally switched off because it did not work and could not be adjusted in the room. While this was not a problem at night, since I could open the window, the room became very hot and uncomfortable in the morning and during the day. Keeping the window open did not help much, and it was also quite noisy due to construction work next to the hotel. For future guests, please note that a building is currently under construction nearby. My second disappointment was the sauna opening hours. It was available only until 10/11 a.m. on weekdays/weekends. As someone who specifically chose this hotel partly because of the sauna, I was unhappy with this arrangement, as I usually use a sauna in the evening. I would suggest considering adding evening opening hours for the sauna or at least mentioning the opening hours on your website/booking page. And last but not least - not secured WiFi network in the hotel.

Big and clean room. If you go to Helsinki, it is 5 minutes to harbor, to terminal A and D. Beautiful view from seaside room. Train number 2 stays near to hotel and goes directly to airport. We will came back again.

Breakfast can be better (more fresh fruits).
