Hilton Hotel Kalastajatorppa, Helsinki

The location was nice. The staff were also farely good.

There was a bad smell in bathroom. Each time I washed my hand in the bathroom or used the shower, I saw foams coming out of waste-hole beside the toilet. It impacted my opinion about the room hygiene. In some hotels, usually you receive 1 or 2 bottles of water free of charge, but the cost was 6 Euro for each 0.5L water bottle, which was in deed expensive. I used 2 bottles of water upon my arrival because it was midnight and I was too thirsty, but I paid 12 Euro for it. I think better hotels could be found with this price.

Great location

The hotel receptionist was a bit aggressive re information and use of bikes. Bike I wanted was not the n use but she refused my request to use

It was so clean, beautiful area and design

View from the seaside room was wonderful. Everything was clean and functional, and the restaurant exceeded expectations. The sauna was luxurious and private, and my son loved the pool. Several great playgrounds within easy walking distance, and the cafe just a few minutes' walk away from the hotel was absolutely perfect for breakfast with lots of options for everyone. The walking path by the water makes it easy to go for a quick walk or jog.

Only wish the sauna hours were extended on Sunday! Decor in the rooms is a little dated but totally fine. Really didn't have any issues to speak of.

Beautiful location, in a quiet, leafy suburb, right on the waterfront. One of the best hotel breakfasts ever! Amazing selection of hot and hot buffet items, lots of selection for various dietary needs and tastes. The hotel restaurant for evening meals is equally wonderful! Beautiful setting overlooking the water and sunset, with a great menu. Good gym, reasonable size indoor pool and great sauna.

The curtains in the hotel room were terrible! They didn't close fully, they were full of holes, and very little protection from sunlight, so made it difficult to sleep. The room was also too hot, with no option to change the room temperature. The heavy duvet didn't help with the temperature either!

Sauna

The water bottles on the room( that you should pay for it )

Clean, comfortable rooms. Easy access to tram into Helsinki. Surrounded by nature - very relaxing.

Breakfast was too expensive to consider trying.

Location and proximity to tram line.

Everything! This is (one of) the best hotel(s) I’ve ever stayed in. Wonderful location: Green, quiet and peaceful locations, with free parking and easy tram connection to city centre. But there’re also things to see and explore within walking distance. Super comfortable(and soundproof!) room, especially beds. Amazing breakfast. Very good restaurant with sea view. Swimming pool and sauna. Super friendly staff. Outstanding value for money!

Difficult to think of something. Well, the pool is rather small, and whenever we went there, it was pretty full. Only big adult bikes available for rent. And armchairs in the reception lobby make a horrible “creeeeak” sound when moved; this can easily be solved by attaching felt tips to the chairs’ legs.

Nice see view and spa area access to see.

See had algae, but not hotel fault.

Hotel location, close to waterfront and well connected to public transport. Such a quiet place to stay and healing.

Very nice stuff and specially breakfast stuff

Clean room

Excellent and luxurious hotel. Beautiful view. Great area for walking and great public transport to the city centre.

Great hotel

Location at the coast, surrounded by nature. Staff was nice and helpful.

Hotel has been built quite some time ago and rooms desperately need some renovation. Also, no need to charge for the water in the room 6 Eur. In most hotels today at least one bottle of water is complimentary.

The best thing is their info desk two lady staff! So kind and helpful! Thank you very much!

Good breakfast

**Review of Hilton Helsinki Kalastajatorppa** During my recent stay at the Hilton Helsinki Kalastajatorppa, I was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional quality of service and the overall experience. This hotel truly embodies the essence of luxury and comfort, making it a standout in Helsinki. **Location and Surroundings** Situated in a serene and picturesque location, the Hilton Helsinki Kalastajatorppa offers breathtaking views of the Gulf of Finland. The tranquil environment provides a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet it's conveniently close to central Helsinki, making it easy to explore local attractions. **Accommodation** The rooms are spacious, modern, and impeccably clean, with large windows that allow natural light to flood in and offer stunning views. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The amenities provided were top-notch, including high-speed internet, a well-stocked minibar, and a luxurious bathroom with high-quality toiletries. **Dining Experience** The on-site restaurant did not disappoint. The breakfast buffet was a highlight, offering a wide variety of fresh and delicious options. From traditional Finnish dishes to international cuisine, there was something to satisfy every palate. The dinner menu was equally impressive, with beautifully presented dishes that were as delightful to the taste buds as they were to the eyes. **Facilities and Services** The hotel's facilities are extensive and well-maintained. The fitness center is well-equipped, and the indoor swimming pool is a great place to unwind. The sauna experience was a particular highlight, offering a true taste of Finnish culture. The conference facilities are state-of-the-art, making this hotel an excellent choice for business travelers as well. **Staff and Service** The service at Hilton Helsinki Kalastajatorppa is second to none.

Nicely located, quiet and close to beautiful beaches. Easy accessible with public transport. Tram 4 brings you to centre in about 15-20 minutes. Very friendly staff.

Furniture a little bit outdated.

Near nature, sea view from the room, food, comfort, peace and quiet

Perfect location

Pool was small

Facilities. Pool Sauna. Bicycle free of charge. Breakfast was amazing. Staff extremely helpful.

Nothing to complain about.

breakfast fantastic

no ac

The hotel was nice BUT the staff were ama.

We chose this hotel because there was a heat streak going on and the Hilton website said the hotel had AC. After check in I discovered there was in fact no AC in the whole building.. After showing the front desk that it was on the Hilton website they brought us a couple of fans and gave us dinner in the hotel restaurant.

Beautiful place, the view and nature. I saw the fox early in the morning from my window. Overall a great experience, and the breakfast was excellent!

Nothing. The hotel and the staff are great!

We were very lucky with the room we got - it had a fabulous view directly to the sea. Also, the room was large and very comfortable, probably recently renovated; it exceeded our expectations. The location of the hotel is fabulous, in the beautiful nature. It is very quiet and relaxing to be there, and one can also take wonderful walks around.

The corridors leading towards the room are desperately in need of renovation and they have a foul smell. Also, the pool and sauna area is in need of renovation.

Very good breakfast, everything was fresh and a lot of different options. Also very friendly staff!

The main restaurant was very busy and the food was good but maybe they were a bit understaffed.

Beautiful location by the sea, yet just a few tram stops away from the centre. My room was spacious and impeccably clean. Also, I appreciated the good soundproofing of the rooms. Excellent breakfast with attentive personnel, the tables were cleaned quickly. I will definitely return!

Although the breakfast was excellent as a whole, I would have appreciated a wider selection of breads.

Lovely quiet location, stylish buildings in a wonderful, scenic environment. Great breakfast buffet and bar(s), we regularly used facilities including the sauna & swimming pool which were clean, well-maintained and quiet. Fantastic views and sunsets over the Baltic, sea-view room was well worth the extra investment!

Expensive, but on a par with other accommodation in Finland. Otherwise we have no real criticisms, was a fantastic stay.

Beds were big and super confortable and rooms were quiet so for relaxing sleeping all worked fine.

Room was renovated but the place is a little bit in need of updating.

Nice and very clean rooms with a lovely view. The facilities including the indoor pool, sauna and access to the beach are top notch. The receptionists are very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Nothing

A truly nostalgic place with beautiful surroundings. We loved the sauna and the indoor swimming pool area. And private beach!

The rooms have seen better days but they were clean, beds were comfy. And we had a bath tub!

Magnificent view, spacious room, friendly and attentive staff, great location.

A bit aged and in need of window cleansing. Breakfast rather average for a Hilton.

Near the water

Good breakfast.

Room a bit small for 3 people

Very good

Wonderful clean and so many great things

I love the property how nice beautiful is

Sauna, pool, great location, good breakfasts

The reception staff were brilliant. The view from the room in the original building was beautiful, Breakfast was excellent. Kalastajatorppa is my favourite hotel in Helsinki.

This was a nostalgia visit because I stayed here in the seventies and eighties (although I have also stayed here a few times later than that). I miss the White Room and the Red Room. Room 322 in the original building is showing its age (a piece of wooden flooring kept dislodging and there were some quite deep scratches on furniture).

Location, views, room was lovely and breakfast was superb, lots of choices

Nothing all good

The hotel is in a great location on a high cliff by the sea. The surroundings have parks, nature and a tennis court. The area is also the safest in Helsinki. The President of the Republic of Finland lives nearby, i.e. only about 500 meters away. I recommend the hotel and the area to people who also value safety. And on the street you can see and talk to the President of the Republic of Finland.

The sea view was great. And seeing fireworks from far all around at the edges of the frozen lake on new yrs eve/new yrs. Bed was extremely comfortable and the 4 body pillows. Room was great. Breakfast was good with enough variety, but the service for breakfast was top notch!

The swimming pool was plain. Maybe it's better in summer and during the day when you have a better view. The saunas are in the changerooms, so not great for a couple experience. Pretty bad for a top hotel like Hilton. There's not much to do in this area either. Pretty isolated. The mini bar was there but the drinks were not free. They were also very overpriced, so we walked to supermarkets instead to get the same drinks for 1/4th of Hilton prices.

Rooms are modern and plenty of space. Swimming pool and sauna was great with towels provided. Breakfast buffet has plenty of options although abit expensive. Location is perfect for visiting Senete square cathedral and christmas market.

We stayed there for christmas and unfortunatly we did not eat any of the food that was offered in the restaurant on christmas day as it was a buffet of local Finnish foods. There was a great choice of food but not good for what my family and I would eat being Irish.

Staff response

Breakfast was abundant, all kind of food have been found. The staff was very polite but the morning shift was very charged by different demands of guests and one person had to solve all of them.

Sauna and welness were deception, small sauna for such a huge hotel and the pool was also very small, a dozen people in the swimming pool and there was no space to swim. Maybe we have other imagination about finnish sauna, that wasnt. The location is rather beautiful but far from the center.

man working at reception around 10 pm on the 24th when we arrive was very friendly accomidating and approachable

toilet wasnt cleaned well in the morning of the saturday, bedding had a musky smell to it no lounge chairs near the pool

The building, breatfast.

Very nice breakfast

A lot of noise during the day because of work on a roof nearby so no way to enjoy the balcony.

We stayed over the weekend and enjoyed the IGLUX right on the water. If was magical and very relaxing - we even spent the night in the igloo! The combined room and igloo experience meant that we did not have to give up any creature comfort, and could enjoy a bath and hot shower during our stay. Dinner at Meritorppa was delicious as was the hotel breakfast, which has a great selection of both hot and cold items.

Nice place, nice people.

My room did not have balcony although I filtered from Booking.com hotels with balcony. Later came out that I had to ask room with balcony specially. Pets were welcome but there there was extra fee 30 euros for my 2,2 kg pet. There was only 20 TV channels and picture quality was not the best. Coffee from lobby machine was 3 euros and room service fee was 15 euros.
