GLO Hotel Art, Helsinki

I loved the combination of old and new. The building, reception, and dinner area were more traditional but the rooms were modern and stylish. This was 5/5. The staff went above and beyond to help.

Perfect breakfast, quite and comfortable room, excellent location

- Clean and comfortable room - Ideally located hotel, just a short walk from the city center, train station, Rock Church, library, and museums. - Convenient surroundings with numerous cafés and grocery stores nearby. - Exceptional breakfast offering a wide variety of high-quality options. - Dinner included in the price, adding even more value to your stay.

Friendly staff

The hotel is located in the design district, about 1 km from the railway station. Included in the price was breakfast (as expected) which featured a selection of hot and cold options as well as tea and coffee. My wife particularly liked the bread choices. But wait, there's more: also included in the price is 'Fika' (tea/coffee and cake in the afternoon) and dinner (hot entree, salads, soup). There was also a still and sparkling water fountain available to use. Wine/beer was offered for a reasonable fee as was dessert. The hotel also has a gym (but we were lazy and didn't use it) and a lovely courtyard where you could have a picnic. Parking is available (for a fee) but we used Bolt and git about just fine.

The breakfast bread was excellent but we couldn't find a way to make it better by toasting it!

Friendly Staff Free dinner was a nice bonus

Everything was absolutely incredible.

Nothing. One of the best hotels we have ever stayed at.

The room was cozy, quiet and big enough, we enjoyed very much the breakfast and the dinner.

Everything was lovely.

Central location. Lovely room. Great facilities. Fantastic to have half board and a Fika.

The breakfast offered an amazing variety of food, whereas dinner consisted of a single main course. The room was exceptionally clean, and I especially appreciated having an iron available in room.

The windows are unable to be opened.

A good place to stay in Helsinki. 10 minutes walk from the city centre.

Not enough choice at dinner.

Breakfast had many options. Staff was friendly. Very complete and well-kept gym. The food was good as well.

For breakfast I missed the option of a cappuccino. Fresh orange juice would also be nice. I missed some weights in the gym (the 6 and 8 kilos) and some resistance bands or Pilates ball would have been great but the gym was already very good. Too bad that the sauna is only available privately and not publicly available but overall a great stay.

The food was really great!

Lack of fresh air in rooms.

Everything

It was very clean and the staff were very helpful.

N/A

The location was excellent, staff professional and happy and the breakfast and dinner included were great.

History with modern amenities, thoughtful meals and solution-minded staff.

Wonderful hotel with great staff, amazing architectural interest and delicious meals. We’ve already rebooked for our return visit to Helsinki next month.

Super convenient location. Fantastic exterior and interior! Tasty food!

Location, style, food and staff.

Air conditioning was stuck.

The breakfast! The atmosphere.

Could be cleaner...

Position, cleanliness, positive personnel

Friendly helpful staff, one of the best breakfasts we have found anywhere, spotlessly clean and comfotable bed. And the fika and dinner were an unxpected bonus in an unusual building with a story.

Not a thing.

Hotel is located near the harbour, as well to the city centre. You could walk everywhere. Price included breakfast and dinner, but also fika! Rooms were clean and spaceous enough for playing with the kid. All the staff members we met were happy, open to help. They were fast with fixing things and supporting with all the questions we had. We have been discussing the experience for days now and we are more than happy that we choosed this hotel.

Windows could not been opened. However as our room was towards inner garden, where other quests could smoke, it was good that this smell did not come to our room. So i am not sure how bad thing it is. :D

Food was really tasty

Can not open the room window

Staff and location

bracfast fika and dinner every day

The building is interesting and the staff are really friendly and helpful

Limited choices at dinner (no veggie option) and no dessert but quality of food was good especially the soups.

Nice breakfast, spacious room, good shower, beautiful building.

No fridge in the room but that I knew so no problem. A small make up mirror in the bathroom would be nice.

The hotel breakfast and dinners were excellent - please keep them as inclusive to the room. Room was very comfortable and the hotel well located. Staff were helpful (especially Mikka) I will certainly come back and also recommend to anyone travelling to Helsinki

Staff was super friendly, atmosphere and design was super cozy. The food was great and convenient.

Nothing much. The room was a bit small.

Location, room size and breakfast

There is no daily cleaning

The food

Nothing

The location is great, and the atmosphere is truly special, with a historical flair. The room was compact but very comfortable. The meals that were included (breakfast, afternoon snack - which we didn’t get to enjoy unfortunately, and dinner) make this accommodation a very good value for the price

You could see inside the shower cabin from the bedroom, which was a bit odd from an intimacy perspective.

It’s great that breakfast and dinner is included in the price. Breakfast was really good. For dinner, there is one main course for each night + salads and sides in a buffet. Location was rather close to the centre and train station (20 minutes walk).

Friendly and helpful staff; nice room and great building. Breakfast, fika and dinner were really tasty.

Room was nice and brekfast

It was difficult to understand the information as regards the sauna - opening times and booking

The breakfast was great; the bedding and the mattress were very high quality and fit for the 5* hotel; we got checked in 30 mins before the official time easily; the shower/WC space albeit small was very well-organized and had nice smelling shampoo, shower gel and body lotion.

The food at dinner was rather plain, on the menu the Sunday's meal was described as "Chef's special" and TBH the said choice was kind of disappointing: the main was school canteen style potatoes with cut sausages. The salads were not impressive too, there was no dessert (on an Easter Day), and the highlight of the dinner was knäckerbrod with cottage cheese.

Great hotel in a good location. The double bed was so comfortable and I loved the bathroom, especially the heated floor. The breakfast was also good.

Everything was great. Breakfast, fika and dinner generous and tasty. The building is an extraordinary example of Finnish architecture of early 20 century.

I would prefer to have bathroom and toilet separated a bit more from the room; at this point it cannot guarantee 100% privacy, but it’s ok in general.

I liked everything, especially the reception staff! Very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was a 10/10 didn't need to eat again for the rest of the day. Thank you all so much!

It’s an old historical building that has been renovated to a great standard without losing the charm.

Location, beautiful hotel interior. Great stay

The evening meal was hard to navigate if a vegetarian

Included breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner were great. The room was excellent. We really liked the hotel. No complaints.

All good actually

Location, room cleanliness, easy check in and check out , meals included

I didn’t love the dinner option but might have just been the day. Food options and service were overall great.

Beautiful hotel with a great location. Amazing value for money with breakfast and dinner included and all meals fantastic. Very helpful staff especially Peter in the restaurant. One of the best stays we have ever had. Sustainable focus excellent also.

Nothing

The included meals were really good, especially breakfast.

The beds were comfortable but was actually two beds pushed together as a single.

The location is excelent and the food was delicious. (I’m a picky eater) the staff was very welcoming, there is a gym and relaxation room which has a massage bed (similar to a massage chair).

There are virtually no closets except a 40 cm wide one with 4 hangers. No place to store your clothes and considering how small are the rooms it can make the stay very uncomfortable if you’re there for more than 2-3 nights. Everything was clean except the bathroom where there was a layer of dust you could pick up with a finger. As we only stayed there for 2 nights and it was contained in one place, we didn’t ask for cleaning, although I’m sure if we had, this would have been solved immediately.

Gorgeous hotel, one of the most beautiful hotels we've been to. Both breakfasts and included dinners were delicious (in particular, the soup of the day and bread selection). The room was comfortable and nice.
