GLO Hotel Art, Helsinki

The breakfast at the hotel was very good. And I dined at the Armenian House next door, lovely place.

The main hotel building is attractive and well-maintained in its national romantic style; the bedrooms such as mine modern and well-fitted, with a comfortable bed and a good shower. Breakfast was excellent, with a huge choice and good information labels about the food provided.

No serious criticism, but my bathroom was small.

Good location, walking distance to train station. Fabulous appearance of the building and common areas. Modern rooms with good facilities. Very helpful friendly staff. Wonderful breakfast with a great selection of foods and drinks.

As always price is a factor a package deal for a longer stay would be appreciated but having said that the hotel is good value and by far the best hotel out of the five we stayed at on our travels in Finland, Estonia and Latvia

excellent breakfast quiet room when the bar below isn't open

room is really small, no desk or even a chair loud sounds from the bar below on friday and saturday evenings

The host were fantastic..Very beautiful hotel with lots of charm and history..beds were very comfortable.

Internet was weak in my room. Shower is small.

The breakfast was good, and the staff at breakfast were good!

The service attitude was very disappointing! The first day.. I was going in with a big suitcase and lined up in the wrong place, but the staff didn’t bother to tell me where to line up. When I was checking the luggage, the staff also didn’t have good attitude (didn’t look at people in the eyes). Another night when I was asking for the direction to the airport, the staff told me to google. I already looked up.. I just wasn’t sure which way is the best given my mom is not good with walking. I have never encountered such bad attitudes at the hotel counter from different staff (three in total). It was a very unpleasant experience interacting with the staff. The only one with the good attitude was when I was checking out.

The breakfast was very good quality food, fresh berries, good bread, organic eggs. I was impressed by the choice and quality. Also front desk staff very helpful

Refrigerator in room would be convenient as I have medicine that needs to be cooled we left items at front desk staff, who put in their fridge, they were very obliging.

The breakfast is really amazing. The stuff is super nice, kind and helpful. The bed is very comfortable. The shower is great. I was impressed overall.

The only thing missing here is the mini fridge in the room. Maybe some other rooms had it, don't know. Just to keep some little food.

Very comfortable bed Cracking breakfast Clean room

The current renovations made it tricky to find a way in

The room was so relaxing. The gym/wellness are perfect and the breakfast!! Soo good!! We have stayed here before and we will for sure stay here again! Thank you for the service!

Manic breakfast on day one! second day all good ..

no coffee making facilty in room

Good variety Very tasty Nice room Very clean

Distance to room from reception Small room No bedside tables

Breakfast and location.

Room temperature was not controllable with thermostat. Would like to open a window

Breakfast, location and staff was very good! Easy to comminucate with staff. Clean and comfortable rooms.

Mabey room was little small but we were just to sleep so it was ok.

Nice location, very clean room and exceptional breakfast buffet. I would definitely stay again.

The only inconvenience we experienced was that the room was located on the ground floor and the windows opened at the hotel's parking lot. Hence, we had the blinds closed constantly so as to have some privacy. Maybe, for these rooms there could be a more transparent type of curtain (aside from the blinds) that lets the light come in but simultaneously offers some privacy.

Clean rooms. Helpful reception staff Good breakfast choices

Breakfast time was chaotic, tables not cleared, dirty plates piled up so unable to use. Not enough room, had to clean own table.

Good location, yummy breakfast

no slippers in the room, last time I was in this hotel they were in the room

I had a fantastic stay. The room was small, but very functional. Staff very welcoming. Breakfast great. Will stay once again-

nothing

The location was very central. The room was nice and clean, the shower super nice as well as the bed.

There was some construction going on, it was a bit loud in the morning.

Hotel bedroom was quite small and sparse, but the cool vibe, friendly staff, location, and breakfast all were excellent. I would definitely recommend the hotel. The masseuse who works there was great too!

Perfect hotel, very different shape, nice experience, hotel is created on the basis of the building other purpose, like church, theatre, or so... Lobby, breakfast room, corridors, stairs... Nice! Perfect breakfast, many different choices, I enjoyed it.

Maybe room was a bit dark, on the ground level, but in general, never mind...

Very quiet room. Comfortable bed

Breakfast area was crowded

Great location, nice building and modern rooms.

Breakfast was good value for money but way too busy and not enough seats and tables for everyone.

It was so central and easy to walk to dinner and the market Square

I was so disappointed in arriving to the whole hotel being covered in scaffolding. The building looked great in the brochure but awful in reality. But to be fair the hotel had warned us before hand - still a major job!

A fabulously characterful place to stay - castle meets hotel - within 10 mins walk of all the city centre attractions. The dining room upstairs is amazing

Good location and really friendly helpful staff. Liked the adjustable bed. Nice buffet breakfast in the stunning old hall.

Room a little smaller than expected. Building was under scaffolding so hard to find the entrance and to appreciate its beauty as per the photos.

room just a fraction small but comfortable and well appointed. breakfast superb selection served in a super historic hall. location good for walk to centre whilst not being in busy area. good Italian restaurant just along the road. staff very helpful booking transport to the Tallinn ferry and arranging early take away breakfast.

Perfect location, great staff, delicious breakfast

Lobi toilet is having weird signs I couldnt find mens toilet.

fantastic breakfast

no issues

Breakfast was great, rooms clean and comfy.

A sauna would be nice!

Great room. Comfy bed. Excellent breakfast, early check in and terrific staff.

The scaffolding was a bit distracting but not really that important

Good for two people. Breakfast was exceptional good!

Parking area is very tight for bigger cars.

The staff at the breakfast room was amazing my son is autistic and has a little bit of drama she offered to bring breakfast to our room with the permission of the hotel manager she is such an amazing soul .

Nothing

Location, nice breakfast, friendly staff

The pillows were not very comfortable hence did not have good sleep. Also one of the duvet cover has lipstick marks on it but I can’t be bothered to ask them to change, just did not use that duvet (there were two).

They offer a good breakfast. The location is good, with Helsinki centre within easy walking distance.

The room was rather small. Also, they kind of pushed for an upgrade when I checked in, which I found to be unnecessary.

Character and position. Great breakfast and lovely staff

Room very small. Not enough room to walk round the bed, no wardrobe as such

Everything was great

Maybe a price was too high.

Room was comfortable, sheets were clean and breakfast was excellent.

There was no table or any kind of chair in the room to put things on. There was only very small closet so I haven't had a place to put my backpack or handbag.

Friendly staff quiet room

Mattress topper not secured to bed so moving around should be covered by sheet attached to bed More facilities in room...eg. shower cap, free biscuits, more milk

Room was clean, location very central and breakfast is delicious. During Easter time they had chocolate eggs hidden in the room which was a nice addition 🐥

Renovations outside which took a little away from the coziness of the place. Otherwise no complaints.

Shower was great! Room was clean and modern Breakfast was wonderful. They also had generous selection for drinks and snacks in the room for additional purchase which was perfect for someone like myself who just did not care to leave the room after settling in.

Really helpful friendly staff. Comfortable rooms and good spot to walk all over Helsinki

Very pleasant helpful staff, room was clean a good size. Nice breakfast available for a fee. Quiet and easy walk to most places in the city centre. Lots of restaurants close by.

No fridge, only enough tea/coffee and milk for one day.

Extremely comfortable stay at the Glo Hotel Art. Is a little outside the city centre - 15 min to central station even with baggage but there isn't public transport on the doorstep. Personally I found being a little outside an advantage because the bars and restaurants in the neighbourhood were less touristy but do be aware of that when booking. Good staff allowing early check in. Room was very clean and I slept like a log! Good breakfast.

Luggage storage is unsecured - which isn't a problem in itself but there is *no* security. Anyone could wander in off the street, pick up some bags, and possibly leave unchallenged. It wouldn't take much effort to put a lock on the door as a minimum; even to issue a token system would be a big step forward.

Great historic building

The room was so nice and cosy, the outside of the building was beautiful and it was close to the centre - we could get everywhere easily! The breakfast was also amazing!

+ Unique buliding for Helsinki. It reminded me a Moorish castle in the lobby, with more gothic elements on the second and third floors of the main building. + Breakfast which was included in the room price was amazing. Varied and with plenty of choice + Our child (of 8 years old) apparently stayed for free, as price for 2 or 3 people was the same + Location, location, location. With such a centric location you don't need a car. Everything can be explored by foot or reached by public transport, if going further from centre + We had a problem with aircon in our room (it was too hot) in the middle of the night and we were given another room. The problem was resolved very swiftly and politely + Our child enjoyed putting a 3rd puzzle in the hotel lobby - we thought it was a very thoughtful gesture from hotel management to arrange puzzle activities in that way and also offer some unique puzzles + And my favourites - GLO Hotel slippers! I absolutely love their design and they are very comfortable in comparison to traditional hotel slippers. I always take them home with me :)

Lobby bar drink list could be better. There was no red Martini and overall poor choice of beverages.

Excellent choices for breakfast.

Very small room.

The room was spacious and thoughtfully designed. There was room for belongings when staying more than 1 day, The reading lamps actually worked for reading and there was a comfortable armchair in the room.

The bed was way too soft. In the middle of the last night I had an idea to throw aside the cover mattress and things improved greatly. Also the room was a bit hot to my taste. Although the thermostat showed it to be at 21 degrees it was definitely higher and the room got stuffy. With a bit or fussing around I could open the window which helped a lot. They should not remove the window handles. Mostly people are not suicidal, they just want fresh air.
