Hotel F6, Helsinki
Expert reviews
“Stunningly designed, this 2016 hotel ranges around an internal courtyard (some rooms have direct access and patios); superior rooms come with French balconies. All 66 rooms are spacious (even the smallest are 27 sq metres) and stylishly furnished with cushion-strewn sofas.”
“When Hotel F6 opened, central Helsinki gained a refreshingly informal addition to its boutique hotel scene, featuring stylish décor and peaceful, comfortable rooms. Cheerful greetings on arrival include an introduction to Runar the hotel dog.”

Guests can choose from three rooms at Hotel F6: Standard, Superior, or Deluxe. Standard rooms are functional, yet fun and trendy.

It made our stay in Helsinki more memorable!
Staff was helpful and friendly. Breakfast was superb. Overall vibe of the hotel was fantastic, within walking distance to major attractions, shops and great restaurants. The decor and details of the hotel were well thought of… simply amazing.

A very pleasant stay with a perfect location and great facilities – would gladly return!
The location is excellent, with everything within walking distance. The hotel’s facilities are modern, stylish, and well maintained – it feels welcoming right away.
The breakfast selection could have been a bit more balanced, but this can be easily forgiven since many of the products are regional.

Convenient location in comfortable room
Location, quiet small boutique style hotel
No cooked breakfast. We also found the room to be very cold with little privacy due to wall to wall windows that required heavy curtains to provide privacy from bathroom to bedroom. Hotel supplied a room heater that helped.

Breakfast was excellent. The hotel is centrally located in a very walkable area with complimentary umbrellas to handle the summer showers. Comfortable room and very friendly staff.
A sauna would have been nice, but no complaints otherwise.

Will definitely stay here again!
Great location to get to many of the best tourist locations; only a few minutes walk to the port. We loved everything about the room. The breakfast was excellent with a wonderful variety. We enjoyed the hotel bar several nights during our stay.

Comfy, stylish hotel with great breakfast and friendly staff
Loved this hotel! Staff was incredible from check in to check out, including those working at the breakfast buffet. My room was a great size, as most in Europe are small. Very clean, super comfy bed and linens. Loved the large shower! I utilized the basement gym and it was sufficient for a simple workout. LOVED the breakfast buffet! Highly recommend!
Honestly, I can't think of anything.

Best hotel in helsinki
First stay at this hotel. Stayed another night here. This place will meet your expectations and more. Very clean and comfortable. Must book despite the hefty price tag.
Nothing much. Maybe free sip of Finnish brandy upon check in hahaha

My Hotel in Helsinki Every time
The toilets and rooms were amazing. Very clean and spacious. The outdoor area was beautiful. Like a fairy tale scene. The hotel breakfast had fresh croissants baking! Does not get Finnish fresher than that. Location is good. Away from the buzz but close enough to be walkable from the station
There is a red light lamp with a Chinese doll..kinda creepy but it's more of a aesthetic peeve than anything else. Not bad vibes and very good sleep

Great stat in central Helsinki
The property is really high quality, from the decor, to the shower with colored lights, to the rich breakfast buffet. It’s also very central and practical (15 minutes walk from the train station).
They have a decent gym with two separate rooms, but one room is almost empty and could host some more equipment!

Wonderful boutique hotel. Look no further for your stay in Helsinki
The pictures do not do it justice. It was a family run hotel and you were greeted with a smile from the minute you entered. Our room was spacious with the most comfortable bed and pillows and spotlessly clean. The breakfasts had a huge variety and were delicious. It was close to everything so we could explore Helsinki on foot.
Nothing at all. I would highly recommend the hotel to anyone coming to Helsinki.

Excellent stay in a comfortable hotel near city’s attractions.
Hotel setup, location and room size was great. Hotel was clean and tidy. Breakfast was also great.
Bed was a little harsh and AC was difficult to use

Overall excellent but would like sheet on bed.
Design, cleanliness, location, and staff
Wish you had sheets on the bed and not just a covered quilt. The quilt was too hot and having a sheet would make the sleeping more comfortable on warm summer days,

We had been torn between choosing a heritage building or a modern hotel… We settled on F6, and would do so again. Ideal
Stylish, comfortable, helpful, friendly, good location, excellent breakfast.
The automatic lighting in the bathroom took a bit of getting used to, but we worked it out!

We had a good stay as the first timer in Helsinki.
Location and decor. It was very quiet despite the closeness of tourist area. Friendly and helpful front staff.
Our room door was very hard to open. Glass door close to the elevator was very close to the edge of a staircase, and it was a bit scary to handle the large glass door.

We had a fabulous stay at Hotel F6, would return and would highly recommend as a place to stay in Helsinki
Great location, near the harbour, easy to walk to other landmarks, near a boulevard/park. The breakfast was outstanding, lots of fresh food and variety. Pleasant and helpful staff. We had a lovely overlooking the internal courtyard (my request for this was accommodated), it was quiet.

There were issues with the air condition. The staff made all the efforts to solve including moving to other rooms so we understand the situation and don't complain but reccomend to solve it before next summer

Great location, breakfast good variety changes daily. Very helpful staff. A little bit too warm and air conditioning struggled but it was unseasonable warm. The maintenance sorted it out

One our best hotel stays anywhere in the world this year
This hotel was a rare find, brilliantly located for a first time visitor to Helsinki like us and full of charm and style, with a breakfast included that was a wonderful combination of local foods to try and traditional items, all backed up by a friendly staff. Plus it was fantastic value for money - as I said, a rare find!

An excellent, good value hotel in a superb location
The choice for breakfast was outstanding. The design of this boutique hotel was very good, and the standard of the rooms generally very high. We were impressed with the staff - personable, helpful, and generally excellent. We will certainly be back.
The airconditioning was hard to turn down (we heard this from another guest). It is our only criticism of what is a superb boutique hotel.

If you want a hotel in the heart of Helsinki, then Hotel F6 is the place to be!
The location of this hotel was great. It was close to all the major attractions in Helsinki. The breakfast was delicious and all items were marked for allergens. The rooms were clean and spacious.

Often hotels are either too modern or too old style... F6 has the right balance. We feel the Finnish traditional style in a modern environment. Well done!
