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.

What guests liked

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.

Loved Helsinki and would stay at the GLO again

Slightly quirky, decent sized rooms, good range of breakfast options (altho can’t recommend the rock hard bread rolls!) and super helpful staff. Location is easy walking distance to main city shops and cafes, but still quiet. Many thanks to Nataly who gave us great tips on visiting Tallinn for the day.

The few steps at the front are a challenge for heavy bags plus the heavy front door made it difficult in the snow

Pleasant

The facility and staff are nice.

The first room I was assigned was barely large enough to hold the bed. I couldn't comfortably navigate the room. The 2nd room was slightly larger however the bathroom set up was awkward..

Very good

A good hotel in a good location. The breakfast was totally worth it!

Our double room had a bathroom zero privacy. You could easily see through the bathroom ceiling, and the toilet door didn't block the noise at all.

Very well priced, well located hotel with lovely staff.

The staff were lovely and the room was high quality with an excellent bed which was very comfortable. The shower was very good too with lots of hot water. The breakfast is well worth the small fee.

The room was smaller than expected, although very nice and it did feel weird that there was no chair. We always had to sit on the bed when relaxing.

Enjoyable within walking distance of the city center

Location was great u can reach everywhere by walkingThe employees were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very goodThe employees were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good.

The bathroom windows were transparent. Since I was staying with my daughter, it was impossible for me to take a shower because we couldn't take a shower with my daughterThere were no chairs, tables, etc. in the room and it was very narrow.

I didn’t think that I got a deal. I could stay in any other hotel but closer to Kamppi.

Breakfast was good

I thought my room was bigger. I was asked if I want to upgrade which I did. But I thought I had that type of room from the beginning. Vat also caught me off guard.

Very good

Very clean hotel. Very good and friendly service when check in. Nice choices at breakfast buffet.

Rooms are quite small. Hotel is a labyrinth of corridors and buildings, there is only a very small bar without atmosphere (in the entrance hall). Price of rooms qutte high for overall experience..

Legendary breakfast and cozy rooms.

Absolutely amazing breakfast! Also very comfy living conditions with a lot of little upsides. The room was small but super cozy. The building itself is quite remarkable.

The room was not so warm, but then again, what else would you expect from Helsinki in November? The price was a bit high, but again, everything is pricey in this city.

Nice location

Breakfast was good . Pretty simple but fresh food and fruits. Was a little surprised to know about any cooked eggs are not included on free breakfast

I didn’t like their no refund policy. By some circumstances I arrived day later than planned and I informed hotel 3 days in advance. I asked not to refund my money for lost night but just for credit ( I’m planning to be in Finland in May). But they said No. Of course i will cchoose another hotel for May staying .

Good place to stay to visit Helsinki

The property itself is like a castle, very curious. Breakfast was superb, with plenty choice of hot food (scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, porridge…) and cold food (fruit, juices, smoothies, toast…), and the location is very good to visit Helsinki’s center.

As a suggestion I will say that will be good to have in the room something to put on the luggage.

Nice room, nice lighting design, nice breadfast

The interior design was nice. Wanna emphasize the lighting design, the night light only comes from lower part: the bottom part of the bed and night stand, which was a good idea to avoid lighting from above and have dim, subtle lighting. The lighting in the bathroom can also be dimmed. The smart bed was an interesting setup to try. It was good for reading in bed or watching TV maybe.
