Expert reviews

Fodors review:

“On a quiet side street, this small luxury hotel distinguishes itself through a rare combination of character, consistency, and service. The front section is a handsome 1903 stone castle with wood-beam, medieval-style restaurants, lounges, conference rooms, and a cavernous banquet hall.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Helsinki.

All you need to know

Located in a historic Art Nouveau castle, GLO Hotel Art will make you feel as though you have been transported into a fairytale. While the outside of the building looks very traditional, featuring sturdy gray stone and gothic archways, the interior has been updated so that rooms are polished and modern.

Built during 1903, this hotel, a three-minute walk from the nearest bus stop, is located in the Design District and nearby several galleries, boutiques, and restaurants. It is also two kilometers from Market Square and Kiasma, the contemporary art museum. You can walk to Sinebrychoff Art Museum and Old Church Park, only a few minutes away on foot. The central train station is about .6 miles from the hotel, making the rest of the city easily reachable. GLO Hotel Art offers guests seasonal rental bikes, so most of the city’s attractions are only a short ride away.

With 171 guest rooms, accommodations are categorized into four groups: Smart double rooms, Comfort rooms, Luxe double rooms, and Suites. Smart rooms are the smallest option, accommodating two guests. Suites are large enough for three guests and include a separate sitting area. Each room comes with WiFi, a flat-screen TV, and a bathroom with a shower.

This hotel has earned the Green Key Eco Label, which means that it is committed to sustainability through decreasing waste, energy consumption, and water use. The onsite bar, GLO Art Lounge Bar serves breakfast in the morning and drinks in the evening. This underground cellar space showcases wooden furnishings, brick walls, and a cozy atmosphere. You can also relax in the hotel library, traditionally furnished and boasting Gothic-style windows.

Convenient with friendly, helpful staff.

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.

No complaints. Great place to stay.

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

The scaffolding was a bit distracting but not really that important

Fairly good, enjoyed it

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).

A good base to explore Helsinki

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.

Very good

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.

Fabulous

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.

I would stay here again!

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.

Would recommend.

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.

Comfortable, well located.

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 choice for staying in the centre of Helsinki

+ 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.

Good value for money in central location

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.

Pleasant

The staff was very helpful regarding the issue we had during the first night.

Unfortunately we had a terrible first night because of the room ventilation noise (impossible to turn off). Fortunately for the second night we were upgraded to a bigger room where the ventilation noise was a lot better!

A very comfortable stay

It’s a quite big hotel, very comfortable bed and quite nice bathroom. The room was spacious (even if I got the smaller one) and silent. Amazing breakfast.

There was a hair in the bad, but overall the stay was good.

Great spot for a 2 night stay.

The hotel is in a great location - restaurants, grocery stores, local transportation all nearby and within walking distance. The hotel has a charming exterior with very comfortable and clean rooms. The bed was very comfy. Excellent selection for breakfast. Staff were helpful and welcoming. The hotel doesn’t offer room service at night (if your flight arrives late and you’re not wanting to venture out), but you are able to order food for delivery through Wolt.
