Hilton Hotel Kalastajatorppa, Helsinki
Expert reviews
“From a location in the plush western Munkkiniemi neighborhood, a 15- to 25-minute taxi ride from the city center, this hotel routinely hosts statesmen and celebrities. The best rooms are in the seaside annex, but all are large and airy, with clear pine and birch-wood paneling.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Helsinki.
“Kalastajatorppa – the ‘fisherman’s cottage’ – was founded as a beachside café in 1915 and describes itself as a ‘Resort in the City’. It’s in a restful, leafy, seaside suburb about three miles (3 km) from the city centre. There are plenty of facilities, including a pool, saunas, tennis courts and frisbee golf.”

Situated in a green district, about a ten-minute drive from the city center, this hotel is surrounded by a leafy and serene neighborhood. Nearby attractions include Munkinuisto and Seurasaari Open-Air Museum, and Cafe Torpanranta is only a short walk. With a private beach, seaside terrace, large garden, and bike rentals, this hotel makes for an ideal getaway for those who love nature.

Good hotel, good location! Nice staff
The hotel is pretty old, and that's why it looks tired!

It was a good one night stay. Nothing to write home about.
Located in a nice area where we could take a long walk along the lake.
Pillows so-so Bathroom cleanliness was so-so

Very good
Spacious and comfortable room with an incredible view at the bay. Amazing sunsets straight from the bed! Pleasant and green surroundings, helpful and friendly staff, great little beach for swimming and really close to tram 4 taking you straight into the heart of the city!
The hotel is extremely dated and still leans on the concept of luxury in the eighties (or maybe even 70's?) I kind of enjoyed it since I felt like visiting my youth (or being part of a Wes Anderson movie) but it's not intentional and that makes it the vibe in the hotel somewhat heavy and sad. The breakfast area was way too small at the time of our stay; it all felt packed, busy and uncomfortable.

A real gem
The location of the hotel overlooking the sea is wonderful. We took a room with sea view which was really nice. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent, one of the best I have had at a hotel. We are very happy to recommend this hotel.
Nothing, this hotel is excellent.

The location of the hotel is in a nice area, in the nature. The room was clean and nice.
The breakfast was poor, not so many options. The room service closed early also..

A tranquil stay with beautiful views
The hotel markets itself as a conference hotel, so expect a "generic" style of room. However, everything was clean and comfortable, and especially the bathroom was recently renovated. The location of the hotel is beautiful: it's surrounded by parks, right next to the sea, and in one of the fanciest areas of Helsinki. Keep in mind that it's not downtown - you can easily take the tram downtown, but the location is better for a tranquil vacation surrounded by nature than a city stay. The staff were very friendly. The price point is also great for the surroundings and the quality of the room.
I was very excited for the "private beach" and sauna/pool area, but these reminded me of the 1980s: the strip of beach is tiny and (amusingly) there is a much nicer stretch of public beach literally next to it. The sauna and pool were in the basement and while they were clean, there was nothing particularly pleasant about them.

Great place, awesome staff.
When I asked if we can use parking in basement and how we must paid for it , we was told that it's OK we can use it and easily get out. But when we was signing out, we was asked to pay for it . It was bit confusing and awkward situation between us.

Highly recommendable for a nice stay in Helsinki.
The hotel is beautifully situated on the coast in a quiet part of Helsinki. The restaurant has a wonderful view on the sea. It is really worth a visit, not only for the excellent food and wine, but also for the staff. Our room was very spacious, quiet and had everything one can think of. City centre is easy ascessable with tramline 4, but don't forget to buy a dayticket at the R'kioski before you make use of public transport.
Like so many other hotels there is little space at the hotel entrance to park your car while you register at the reception.
