surrounded by sea and beautiful nature plus art. retro without being shabby or musty.

sauna was not hot enough.

I came to hotel Hanaholmen for some much needed rest, escape and also for a little personal work. I had an amazing time and the place was PERFECT for ME. My needs; (comfort, seclusion), wants ; (nature, accessibility) and interests; (art, fitness) I grew to love it and enjoyed my stay very much. The staff were super helpful and accommodating, and the food was just superb. A wonderful place to stay.

Luckily I'm not adverse to walking or finding my way around (without a car), but you need to be open to having the nearest metro into the city centre, an 18 min walk away. Or, alternatively if you have the cash to taxi to places, it's not a bad location from Key points.

Hotel Hanasaari is not far from Helsinki, yet it feels nice and secluded. We were there in winter and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. The room was warm and comfortable. We were only there for one night and did not have time to use all of the facilities.

room, lokation

The island itself as well the hotel, nice staff, good breakfast

The mattress in french bed, every move, makes also the rest of the bed moving. Better to book 2 single beds.

Yes, a stay in Hanasaari/Hanaholmen is not that cheap but it is 100% worth it. We are so glad we chose this hotel. It is located on a small island that feels just enough remote to enjoy the nature but can be reached by metro in 10 min + 10 min walking. You wake up with the most beautiful views of the see, great and stylish art and 70ies design. The rooms are individually designed with an eye for design details and very comfortable to stay in. But the best thing by far is the so pretty pool. This might have been the nicest pool I have ever swam in, really beautiful interior design and a great view into the snow, the sea and nature. Also the staff was very friendly and helpful at all times. Breakfast is good, we especially enjoyed the freshly baked brownie bits and smoothies. I am so so glad we treated ourselves to three nights in this hotel. And no, I am not a hotel employee, just really into Hanasaari now :-) I have attached some pics of the pool and the nature on the island in winter.

You should be aware that the walk to the next metro station is 10-15 minutes long, but you path a nice marina.

Very nice place in 80-s style, but well renovated. There is a decent art exhibition around, as well as a spa. Breakfast is great. There is ample parking space, and lovely trail to walk around.

The pool could be a tad bit warmer, as it is a bit too cold for kids.

Lovely location, in harmony with nature
