Expert reviews

Telegraph review:

“Fabian Hotel, tucked into a courtyard in the heart of Helsinki, is a little place with a big heart which is all about service and details. What it lacks in views, it makes up for in snug, elegant interiors.”

Lonely Planet review:

“In a central but quiet location, Fabian has elegant ‘Comfort’ (ie standard) rooms with a restrained modern design, higher-grade ‘Style’ rooms (some with French balconies) and top-range ‘Lux’ rooms equipped with kitchenettes. Staff are super-helpful.”

We enjoyed our stay in this hotel as location was good and the room was really nice.

Breakfast variety was lacking. Eggs were the same everyday as well as the other breads and cold meats. Would be good if they offer freshly cooked eggs like sunny side up or omelette.

Good place for an overnight stay in Helsinki

The location is great just near the Esplanade but in the inner silent square. Lots of dining places nearby (The Cock is recommended), also Stockmann and other shops are close to the hotel. Importantly, it’s in walking distance to/from railway station and bus station (Kampi). The hotel itself is splendid, has a brand-new designer fit-out, very well-equipped rooms, comfortable beds. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. Though we missed breakfast, we have seen it looks very nice.

The entrance to the building can be somewhat inconvenient if you have massive luggage. I would expect a Finnish hotel to provide a kettle and tea/coffee in the room. Also, our room for some reason missed any slippers (but we did not bother to ask for them).

Fantastic hotel, staff were brilliant and couldn't do enough!

Break, location and room were perfect for a quick city break! I actually worked from the hotel on the Friday and the hotel were able to arrange early check in which helped immensely. Wifi is also very good.

Nothing, If I had to say something, there wasn't a restaurant to get lunch, a snack or dinner, but you're in the centre of town so no more than a 3 mins walk to somewhere.

A perfect spot to enjoy a short break in Helsinki.

Breakfast offered variety of options, all that we tried were excellent. Beds were firm and comfortable. Room spacious and clean. Reception staff available and very helpful.

As a coffee-in-bed person I would have appreciated coffee facilities in the room.

Very good

The hotel is quite compact and small, located in walking distances to most attractions. The room was comfortable.

For the price I feel the hotel could have provided a kettle and tea/coffee service in the room. After such long travels and being Helsinki being a cold city having a warm drink facility in your room should definitely be there. It usually is a standard practice to provide this. Tea was an additional charge /service.

Great little hotel for a Helsinki trip

Hotel Fabian is always excellent and a great location near to the esplanade and markets. Rooms are a good size, even with an extra single bed in it, and each has modern facilities and en suite bathrooms. Nice quiet courtyard facing windows for a restful night.

We were travelling with our 4 yo daughter so the typical breakfast options were not quite her taste but luckily she does love a croissant

Lovely and Charming

Breakfast was delightful and cozy. I loved the little Travellers journal/log in the room. And the decor was very clean and stylish.

Breakfast was a bit on the pricier side.

Room was perfect aswell as the staff.

Location was perfect for why I was there and needing access to the ferry to reach the island

I don't like staying at hotels were I have to pay for water. Paying for everything else is of course acceptable. I just feel water should be available to everyone free of charge.

Very clean & comfortable. Quiet, despite all of the construction noise. Had read previous reviews that suggested asking for a courtyard view for the noise issue (not related to the construction) & glad we did. Good breakfast & simple check in & check out.

Wasn’t made aware of all of the construction surrounding the hotel - this made getting to and from it VERY expensive

Boutique hotel stone's throw away from everything.

The location is great as it's tucked away in a semi residential area that is quiet but still walkable to the city centre and the harbour. Also the Kaivopuisto area (large park) is just a short stroll away and the sea views are extremely pleasant and calming.

Hotel isn't big thus the breakfast area is also quite small. When the weather permits it is great to have a morning coffee outside but otherwise it could become quite busy and crowded if you happen to come down at the wrong time.

Breakfast was good and plentiful. We stayed in room 504 quiet even across from the elevator. Staff was outstanding, ordering us a taxi for the airport and providing us with the Helsinki Card at the front desk.

Big comfortable room. Good spacious bathroom. Quiet location but still convenient for tram and waterfront. Small hotel so felt more personal.

Nothing really. Possibly a larger hot breakfast choice would have been nice.
