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.

Outstanding service, awesome room and amenities, very clean, safe, and great breakfast! Will be staying there again!

The property was clean and trendy with a great vibe as well as secure and safe! The room was impeccably clean, comfortable, and the bathroom was amazing with the mood lights! The room was on first floor between courtyard and lobby and it was impressive how quiet it was! The breakfast was delicious and had a great selection! To note the front staff were so kind and helpful and made a short stay outstanding!

Additional floor mat to wipe feet when wet or muddy in main entry or in front of elevators is the only addition I would I would have liked!

Enjoyed our stay, staff were lovely, room light, airy and very comfortable plus they provide a wonderful buffet breakfas

Location very convenient, comfortable good sized room, excellent breakfast.

A little tricky adjusting the a/c in the room but we got there in the end. I’m sure it’s a common problem in winter and not specifically a criticism of this hotel - but getting into the room with muddy boots without leaving wet gritty patches all over the floor might be minimised with a stool at the door to sit and remove boots - and hooks for wet coats.

Perfect choice to explore Helsinki in style

Breakfast buffet was extensive and a bit "out of the ordinary" (i.e. Finish specialties, healthy options - not just the usual stuff one gets in most 4* hotels), and staff was super friendly and helpful; besides, the location is perfect to explore Helsinki by foot and public transport)!

A sauna would have been nice ;-)

Excellent service! We arrived 7am in the morning and didn't expect the room to be available. So we dropped off our luggage and walked around town first. It was freezing cold so we went back to the hotel to get more clothes. To our surprise, the room was ready and our luggage was aready placed in our room. It was only around 10am! They also helped us book a nice restaurant on new year's eve where most places are either full or closed. Breakfast is also very nice.

Brilliant!

Well located, friendly staff, very atmospheric and in line with the ‘nordic luxury’ theme. Close to the centre, we did not need the car in 2 days. A bonus was the available Rituals product line in the bathroom :-) … I felt really pampered. The kitchen in the breakfast area made it very cozy, you felt like you were in somebody’s house having breakfast - brilliant.

Expanding the common areas would be an improvement - perhaps into the inner patio? Although I am sure that it is done in summer - we were there in December and it would have been a bit cold to sit there.

Best Breakfast Experience! High quality rooms! Great location

Absolutely outstanding stay at Hotel F6, Helsinki Hands down the best breakfast experience of my life. Two wonderful ladies were preparing and presenting the food as if they were feeding a king. Every detail was thoughtful, beautifully designed, and made with so much care. And all of it came with the warmest, most genuine smiles. OMG! The quality, presentation, and atmosphere were next level. Hotel F6 truly understands hospitality. I will never forget this experience and cannot recommend it highly enough.

Excellent location and fairly easy to find on arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Room and Bathroom were a decent size. We had a courtyard room and loved it. The breakfast had a good choice and was delicious. Most of the staff were friendly and welcoming, especially on reception and the Friday night bar staff.

We thought one member of the bar staff on the Saturday evening was a little abrupt, but not enough to warrant a complaint or to put us off from staying again.

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.

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!

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.
