Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“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.”

Telegraph review:

“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.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

As a family-owned and operated hotel comprising 66 guest rooms, Hotel F6 is particularly friendly and inviting. Boasting a central location, this hotel is only a short walk from Esplanadi Park and the central business district. While staying here, you might run into 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. With 25 square meters of space, this room offers air-conditioning, WiFi, and an optional French balcony. The Superior Room is slightly larger, at 27 square meters, and includes a large and stylish bathroom, along with all the other amenities of the Standard room. With 45 square meters of space, an espresso machine, and a sitting area, the Deluxe room is by far the most luxurious.

The hotel has an onsite cocktail and wine bar, Runar, named after the dog. Breakfast is included in your stay, where you can enjoy organic eggs, homemade Karelian pies, pastries, yogurt, cold cuts, coffee, and herbs grown in the hotel’s greenhouse. As a bonus, Hotel F6 is committed to environmental sustainability by recycling and saving water whenever possible.

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!

Terrific hotel with amazing food and rooms in a wonderful location.

Great location close to shops, restaurants, bookstores, coffeehouses, museums. Staff lovely. Room spacious, clean, and attractively decorated. All the stuff you need. Awesome shower! The breakfast bar, included, is incredible. Fresh fruit, meat, cheeses, fish, bakery goods, yogurt, hot cereal. You won’t have to eat again til dinner, trust me!

Would recommend F6 to anyone. We will definitely come back

Rooms were nice and spacious. Beds were comfortable and the style of the room was nice. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Location is great and literally 1 min walk to the super terrace where there are loads of food and drink options

Not much to criticise, if I have to think of something it would be that the hotel can add a shoehorn in the room to help with putting your shoes on. The breakfast could have some more warm items since everything is mostly cold foods

Great hotel, very cheap breakfast…why?

Wonderful location, stylish hotel, great staff, very reasonably priced

Breakfast was a bust and I’ve seen other similar comments but hotel has yet to do something about it. Food choices are very limited. I think breakfast at hotels like Avenida Palace in Lisbon or Bank Hotel in Stockholm are extraordinary and most hotels should look to emulate. F6 offered only 2 types of juices, 1 type of smoothie, usually 1 type of croisssnt and 1 type of danish. Worst of all, the only hot food is oat meal and your choice of hard or soft boiled eggs. No pancakes or waffles, no bacon or sausages or sautéed vegetables/mushrooms. NO scrambled eggs much less omelettes to order. The equivalent of flying first class on a plane with great seats and service then being presented with a choice of salad or hot dog for meals.

Clean, Contemporary, great location and room. Helpful staff!

Centrally located, very clean and contemporary lobby, room was of good size and well appointed and the breakfast did the job. Staff was exceptionally pleased and quite helpful.

Breakfast area was a little crazy a couple of days but we came down during ‘prime’ time so that is to be expected.

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.

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!
