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.”

Great location, warm atmosphere
Hotel F6 is a lovely base for exploring Helsinki. It’s tucked away in a quiet side street but just a 5-minute walk from the harbour, where ferries leave for the archipelago and various boat tours depart. The central station is about 15 minutes away on foot, and tram and bus stops are just a short stroll. Most major sights in Helsinki’s city centre are within easy walking distance, making it simple to explore the city on foot. And if needed, tram lines 2 and 3 offer convenient access to many destinations. The hotel itself is set in a building that has been beautifully renovated with a modern, stylish touch. My room on the fourth floor was spacious and cozy, with a large, comfortable bed and a generous walk-in shower. A bathrobe and refillable Rituals toiletries added a nice touch of comfort. The staff were consistently friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast was excellent – fresh, varied, and clearly made with care. There’s also a bar integrated into the hotel (though independently run), serving great cocktails in a relaxed atmosphere. Again, friendly service all around.
The hotel is amazing - if I could wish for one small improvement, it would be a coffee machine in the room. There was a kettle, which is helpful, but a machine would have been a bit more convenient.

Without doubt one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in.
The breakfast was absolutely amazing- the food was delicious. The staff were so helpful. The bed was the most comfortable bed of any hotel I have ever stayed in. Everything was spotlessly clean. The location is so central to everything.
Two ceiling lights were not working and we were not sure if there was a dedicated space to plug in the kettle

Wonderful people providing an exceptional hotel stay.
Best service I've ever encountered at a hotel. All personnel were friendly, helpful and reached out to provide more than I asked for. One of the staff wrote a detailed itinerary for a rainy day, to see as much inside as possible. Location is great - to many activities, restaurants, parks and transportation. Hotel is beautiful and provides bikes to use and has a nice center atrium. Breakfast is wonderful.
I didn't have a complaint - everything was excellent.

A great hotel that feels effortlessly personal, polished, discreet and refreshingly unpretentious.
If you're looking for a place that doesn't feel like a typical city hotel, this is it. From the moment you arrive, there's a quiet, understated calm—no fuss, just smooth, effortless service. The staff strike the perfect balance: warm, attentive, and present in just the right measure. The rooms are thoughtfully designed with a lived-in comfort that feels genuine, not staged—equipped with just what you need. This hotel doesn’t try too hard, and that’s exactly what makes it exceptional.

A warm Finnish welcome awaits
From start to finish, the staff were great. The hotel provides an extensive breakfast and the cocktail bar is a fantastic experience too. It is located close to the esplanade and within easy reach of the many sights of Helsinki.

Helsinki is wonderful and F6 is a very central and comfortable hotel to stay at.
Great central location. Awesome breakfast included. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Free bikes to use. Adequate gym. Bed was super comfortable. Paid for an upgrade and superior room size was very spacious
Window was opaque so no view at all. Room felt a bit stuffy at times but could adjust air con no problems.

Excellent!Although I still have fond memories of F6 over the past three months, its location is excellent, right in the city center. The service is top-notch, couldn't be better! The breakfast is very sumptuous, and the hygiene is extremely clean. The hotel facilities are of high taste and very beautiful! When we were going to the airport, because we had a lot of suitcases, they kindly helped us contact the most cost-effective taxi that could fit all our luggage. It was very touching!

Very friendly staff, good breakfast, stylish design, good recommendations for food and restaurants, close to all sightseeing points, beautiful rooms
on our way back to the airport, I have asked if I need to order a taxi in advance and was convinced, that this would be not neccessary because they will arrive two minutes after the order. But then we waited for more than 15 minutes after ordering and at the end we need to take a much more expensive company- that was not very satisfying :-(

Pleasant place to stay while in Helsinki
We all enjoyed breakfast. There are varieties. We love location:: so convenient to reach market square and shopping streets, and meeting points for tours. Front Desk staffs paid attention to our requests and concerns. We all felt at ease while staying at Hotel F 6. This was our second time staying at this hotel. If we have opportunity to come to Helsinki again, we will definitely be with Hotel F 6.

Great hotel, bad breakfast
The hotel itself is very nice with great location, spacious rooms and very comfortable beds. The hotel bar is worth a visit as well!
The breakfast was a huge disappointment. This is one of the better (and pricier) hotels in Helsinki, yet I've had a better breakfast in most Scandic chain hotels.

Truly a gem in Helsinki.
Room was beautifully decorated, and spacious. Breakfast was excellent, even catered for vegan and coffee was made from freshly ground beans. Location was in the heart of the city.
Room floor felt a bit cold, had to adjust the temperature. Woolen socks could have been nice.

Breakfast was lacking hot items! Eggs were available but I don’t eat them. No sauna in the hotel! That was disappointing.
