Hotel F6, Helsinki

Fabianinkatu 6, Kaartinkaupunki, 00130 Helsinki, Finland. (show on map)

Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“Stunningly designed, this 2016 hotel ranges around an internal courtyard (some rooms have direct access and patios); superior rooms come with French balconies. All 66 rooms are spacious (even the smallest are 27 sq metres) and stylishly furnished with cushion-strewn sofas.”

Telegraph review:

“When Hotel F6 opened, central Helsinki gained a refreshingly informal addition to its boutique hotel scene, featuring stylish décor and peaceful, comfortable rooms. Cheerful greetings on arrival include an introduction to Runar the hotel dog.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

As a family-owned and operated hotel comprising 66 guest rooms, Hotel F6 is particularly friendly and inviting. Boasting a central location, this hotel is only a short walk from Esplanadi Park and the central business district. While staying here, you might run into Runar, the hotel dog.

Guests can choose from three rooms at Hotel F6: Standard, Superior, or Deluxe. Standard rooms are functional, yet fun and trendy. With 25 square meters of space, this room offers air-conditioning, WiFi, and an optional French balcony. The Superior Room is slightly larger, at 27 square meters, and includes a large and stylish bathroom, along with all the other amenities of the Standard room. With 45 square meters of space, an espresso machine, and a sitting area, the Deluxe room is by far the most luxurious.

The hotel has an onsite cocktail and wine bar, Runar, named after the dog. Breakfast is included in your stay, where you can enjoy organic eggs, homemade Karelian pies, pastries, yogurt, cold cuts, coffee, and herbs grown in the hotel’s greenhouse. As a bonus, Hotel F6 is committed to environmental sustainability by recycling and saving water whenever possible.

Wonderful boutique hotel. Look no further for your stay in Helsinki

The pictures do not do it justice. It was a family run hotel and you were greeted with a smile from the minute you entered. Our room was spacious with the most comfortable bed and pillows and spotlessly clean. The breakfasts had a huge variety and were delicious. It was close to everything so we could explore Helsinki on foot.

Nothing at all. I would highly recommend the hotel to anyone coming to Helsinki.

Overall excellent but would like sheet on bed.

Design, cleanliness, location, and staff

Wish you had sheets on the bed and not just a covered quilt. The quilt was too hot and having a sheet would make the sleeping more comfortable on warm summer days,

We had been torn between choosing a heritage building or a modern hotel… We settled on F6, and would do so again. Ideal

Stylish, comfortable, helpful, friendly, good location, excellent breakfast.

The automatic lighting in the bathroom took a bit of getting used to, but we worked it out!

We had a good stay as the first timer in Helsinki.

Location and decor. It was very quiet despite the closeness of tourist area. Friendly and helpful front staff.

Our room door was very hard to open. Glass door close to the elevator was very close to the edge of a staircase, and it was a bit scary to handle the large glass door.

We had a fabulous stay at Hotel F6, would return and would highly recommend as a place to stay in Helsinki

Great location, near the harbour, easy to walk to other landmarks, near a boulevard/park. The breakfast was outstanding, lots of fresh food and variety. Pleasant and helpful staff. We had a lovely overlooking the internal courtyard (my request for this was accommodated), it was quiet.

One our best hotel stays anywhere in the world this year

This hotel was a rare find, brilliantly located for a first time visitor to Helsinki like us and full of charm and style, with a breakfast included that was a wonderful combination of local foods to try and traditional items, all backed up by a friendly staff. Plus it was fantastic value for money - as I said, a rare find!

An excellent, good value hotel in a superb location

The choice for breakfast was outstanding. The design of this boutique hotel was very good, and the standard of the rooms generally very high. We were impressed with the staff - personable, helpful, and generally excellent. We will certainly be back.

The airconditioning was hard to turn down (we heard this from another guest). It is our only criticism of what is a superb boutique hotel.

If you want a hotel in the heart of Helsinki, then Hotel F6 is the place to be!

The location of this hotel was great. It was close to all the major attractions in Helsinki. The breakfast was delicious and all items were marked for allergens. The rooms were clean and spacious.

Often hotels are either too modern or too old style... F6 has the right balance. We feel the Finnish traditional style in a modern environment. Well done!

The breakfast bar, included, is incredible. Fresh fruit, meat, cheeses, fish, bakery goods, yogurt, hot cereal. You won’t have to eat again til dinner, trust me!

Would recommend F6 to anyone. We will definitely come back

Rooms were nice and spacious. Beds were comfortable and the style of the room was nice. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Location is great and literally 1 min walk to the super terrace where there are loads of food and drink options

Not much to criticise, if I have to think of something it would be that the hotel can add a shoehorn in the room to help with putting your shoes on. The breakfast could have some more warm items since everything is mostly cold foods

Great hotel, very cheap breakfast…why?

Wonderful location, stylish hotel, great staff, very reasonably priced

Breakfast was a bust and I’ve seen other similar comments but hotel has yet to do something about it. Food choices are very limited. I think breakfast at hotels like Avenida Palace in Lisbon or Bank Hotel in Stockholm are extraordinary and most hotels should look to emulate. F6 offered only 2 types of juices, 1 type of smoothie, usually 1 type of croisssnt and 1 type of danish. Worst of all, the only hot food is oat meal and your choice of hard or soft boiled eggs. No pancakes or waffles, no bacon or sausages or sautéed vegetables/mushrooms. NO scrambled eggs much less omelettes to order. The equivalent of flying first class on a plane with great seats and service then being presented with a choice of salad or hot dog for meals.

Centrally located, very clean and contemporary lobby, room was of good size and well appointed and the breakfast did the job. Staff was exceptionally pleased and quite helpful.

Breakfast area was a little crazy a couple of days but we came down during ‘prime’ time so that is to be expected.
