Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“Independent design hotel Klaus K has a theme of Finnish national epic Kalevala quotes throughout, and space-conscious architecture. Contemporary ‘Sky Loft’ rooms offer access to the roof terrace; some also come with balconies.”

Fodors review:

“Short-stay business travelers love the aesthetics and attention to detail at Klaus K, one of Helsinki’s chicest hotels. Reception, up a few steps past the bar-lounge-club and the Italian restaurant, is set in white amid funky chairs. Of the 137 rooms, there are 118 different configurations.”

Telegraph review:

“Klaus K is popular for its central location and imaginative style. The design theme, combined with references to The Kalevala, Finland’s national epic poem, adds to the character, as does the individuality of the rooms. Retail and cultural attractions of the Finnish capital are close by.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

Helsinki, a city known for its significant modern design legacy, surprisingly lacks a substantial number of ultramodern hotels. However, this unfortunate circumstance is gradually being rectified with the reopening of the Klaus K.

Situated in the design district at the Esplanade’s peak, an area also renowned for numerous modern Finnish furniture showrooms, it used to be the conventional Klaus Kurki. Now, it has been transformed into a boutique hotel oozing with unique high-concept and high-design credentials.

It draws inspiration from a range of sources, both old and new — from the latest trends in Nordic modernism to the Kalevala, Finland’s national epic and creation myth.

Just a stone’s throw away from the Esplanadi retail area lies this architecturally designed hotel with complimentary access to a gym. Each room is equipped with state-of-the-art LCD TVs, luxurious bedding, and free WiFi.

The aesthetics of Hotel Klaus K’s noise-cancelling rooms draw inspiration from the legendary Finnish narrative, Kalevala. A selection of rooms boast bathtubs and captivating vistas of Helsinki’s vibrant city center.

Restaurant Toscanini provides a taste of Italy with its exquisite cuisine and selection of wines from Tuscany.

Great hotel with great location. Superb breakfast.

Nice and cozy room. Superb location. Very friendly staff. Massively super breakfast!

Disappointed on Booking.com: we were sold a room for two but with bed of 120 cm. Luckily friendly hotel person upgraded us with a fee a room for two people with good bed. According to the person this was not the first time with Booking.com. Additionally, we were not able to use the TV due to non-existing wifi.

Pleasant stay in a convenient location.

Comfortable room, good breakfast

We weren’t keen on the “homeoerotic” photographs on display in public areas. Could have been more discrete.

Nice stay. An elevator was broken during breakfast and check-out time, even not very long time.

Good breakfast, notably porridge. Lacking an automat coffee machine. Air condition a bit too cold.

Idea location.

Only public/commercial parking - some small discount - parking location was not bad.

Very recommendable

Good location; size of the room; welcoming staff; great breakfast (a real buffet); many complementary treats

Netflix didn't work; complementaries could have been directly available in the room instead of the lobby (just a minor improvement)

Very good

I had a room facing the back yard, and it was silent! No street noise and I could not hear anything from neighboring rooms. Either excellent sound proofing, or quiet neighbors. There is a free public motorcycle parking across the street that the staff seemed unaware of. It should be used for advertising the hotel.

The wifi was terrible at best, and non-existent at worst. 25€ for breakfast is too expensive.

A nice stay in Helsinki.

The room was comfortable and clean. WiFi worked really well, housekeeping was on top of it, and the location was close to everything.

The shower seems to get the whole bathroom wet but it dries quickly. The breakfast was a little confusing.

OK for a short stay.

Good central location near the sights plus an easy strolling distance of railway & bus stations and ferry ports; also adjacent to a tram stop. Plenty of choice at the buffet breakfast.

Hardly any storage for clothing and a drab view from the window.

Location was the highlight of this hotel. It felt extremely central. I thought Helsinki was bigger than expected and this hotel met my expectations in that regard. Although the room was facing a busy street (two tram lines and a teenagers nightclub around the corner), I still enjoyed the room. There were minor issues that were looked into and resolved by the staff promptly. Restaurants and bars are walking distance.

Can't get over the fact that there was no full control of A/C full in the room. Staff managed to provide me with a fan.

Wonderful, modern and comfortabel hotel.

It almost doesn't get more central than this. Roll out of a (very comfortable) bed and you're almost at the Esplanadi. My room was not big but well-furnished, with a great shower and clothes-hanging facilities. I used the gym once, which was well-furnished too. Breakfast was abundant, diverse and tasty. The staff was friendly, prompt and helpful. I personally really appreciated that this hotel did not just talk the talk on LGBTQ+ friendliness, but also seemed to walk the walk. Finally, the views from the rooftop bar were spectacular.

There was no sauna! More of a surprise than a true downside for me. Other than that, no negatives from me -- my room did not have a view, but that really did not bother me, and it made it extra quiet.

An OK option close to the city center…

Excellent location and very comfortable rooms. Very well-maintained property overall.

The quality of breakfast items did not satisfy me such as cheese, pastry, and lunch meat… Perhaps, you may consider using a different vendor. The gentleman (with colorful hair) at the front desk was unable to provide me with any info about the city. Please make sure to train all your front desk people.

Stylish, central location

Stylish interior design, extra amenities, fantastic central location, quiet & dark curtains (indispensable in Helsinki in June!)

Room is really cute, but quite small. No desk inside my room, so working had to be done from common areas (plenty of space to do it though). Had an unpleasant incident during the breakfast with a drunk “intruder”, which spoilt my overall impression
