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.”

An elegant, well-run property offering reliable comfort and genuinely warm service
I stayed here on two separate occasions, and the experience was consistently excellent. The service quality and comfort were superb, and I truly loved my stay. Staff I regret not catching the name of one of the front desk staff members — a tall gentleman (around 1.8m+), wearing glasses and speaking excellent English. He was an absolute pleasure to interact with and exemplified outstanding service professionalism. A real asset to the team and someone with clear leadership potential. Room As a Singaporean traveller who is quite particular about accommodation standards, I can confidently say the room size and facilities were excellent. One small suggestion would be to add a bit more lighting in certain darker corners of the room — perhaps my ageing eyesight speaking — but overall, the room was very comfortable and well designed. I would gladly return again.
Area for Improvement (Suggestions) In-room power outlets Management may wish to consider adding USB charging ports (USB-C / USB-A) to the wall outlets. Most modern travel devices now charge via USB, and this small enhancement would greatly improve convenience and help future-proof the rooms. Similarly, multi-regional power sockets could be considered to complement the existing European plugs, which would be especially helpful for international guests. Breakfast variety for international guests With the increasing number of Asian visitors to Finland, it may be beneficial to include a small selection of warm Asian-style breakfast items. Simple options such as a light udon noodle soup or a basic Asian fried rice would already go a long way in catering to these guests and enhancing the overall breakfast experience. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would be happy to return again in the future. Thank you to the team for the warm hospitality.

Everything was great from the moment we arrived. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was big, clean, and comfortable. The breakfast each morning was fantastic as well. Most of all we loved the location in Helsinki. Very close to everything!

I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to my friends and family.
The location was great, the staff were super friendly and helpful. The room was very comfortable, and best of all, breakfast was absolutely amazing. The best ever!
The fitness center had a very old elliptical trainer that didn't work very well, but it was useable.

A beautiful modern place in the very center, best choice!
We booked the F6 only last minute and arrived close to midnight, yet we were welcomed so very warm and charming: not only did the night receptionist check us in quickly and efficiently- he gave us a lot of stories and hints on what to see in Helsinki and even sent us an email with a summary of his favorite places and a Google Maps-based walking tour! That was really exceptional - the gentleman deserves an award! But also the other staff was absolutely nice and helpful. The room was super cozy, spacious and well equipped. The kingsize bed was among the largest and best we have ever slept in, just wow. The breakfast was the next highlight: A beautiful design, furniture and lighting along with a great choice of international and local food, homemade bread and cookies and good, strong coffee - plus everything being served until 10am on weekdays and 11:30 pm on weekends... just heaven!

Exceptional few days in a gorgeous hotel, and a top location. Great shipping and restaurants in short walking distance.
Everything about the hotel was stunning. Beautifully put together.
Bed, whilst gorgeous, a little hard for me, but I used the duvet for an extra topper.

Excellent location, good breakfast.
Location and bicycles, breakfast.
First room that was given. It had frosted windows that could not be opened. However, it was solved. The other room was excellent.
20 October 2025
Bottom line: if I visit Helsinki again--and I hope I do--I would definitely stay at Hotel F6 again.
The staff was great; amenities were first rate; I really liked the radiant heat in the floor of the bathroom; the room was cozy; breakfast had great variety; I loved the hot porridge.
That's a difficult question to answer. I found no negative aspects in staying at Hotel F6.

Excellent location, very central and comfortable hotel
Beautiful room and lovely staff, a good range of food for breakfast.
The hotel does not have an on-site kitchen. The breakfast was brought in by contractors and it was very well presented and offered a good choice, however there was only an option to order food on line for dinner from the external partner. Often the bar was closed so options for food and beverage on site is limited.

Stylish downtown hotel on a quiet street with excellent service and gourmet buffet breakfast.
This stylish hotel is downtown, close to everything, but on a quiet street. The staff are excellent/professional and helpful, our room was special/clean/large with a comfortable bed, and the breakfast was vast/gourmet. I want to go back!
Nothing. Slightly pricey, but I think it was worth it.

F6 is without a doubt the best place to stay when visiting Helsinki.
F6 is situated in a perfect spot close to all attractions. The staff are lovely and courteous, rooms are spotless and beds are very comfy. We would definitely recommend F6 and would stay here again if we should return at some stage. 10/10, AAA+ Score!

This is my second stay in the F6 Hotel, and I like it 1. Friendly and Helpful staff. 2. Cosey environment. 3. Nutritious Breakfast I plan to stay at the F6 Hotel again in December.
The room's lights are too dim, especially if you want to write in it. It would be perfect if the lights were brighter.

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.

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.

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!
