Klaus K Hotel, Helsinki

Bulevardi 2-4, Kamppi, 00120 Helsinki, Finland. (show on map)

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.

Original and pleasant accommodation in the city centre

Perfect location in the city center, room equipped with everything needed for a short stay, wide selection of amenities at the reception (tea, coffee, cosmetic items, slippers), free slush ice at the reception, possibility to store luggage even after check-out, very friendly and helpful staff, excellent breakfast made from local ingredients – truly a wide variety, it was impossible to try everything, option to borrow an electric kettle for the room.

Small room and narrow bed for two people, but we were aware of the room size when making the reservation.

Very good

Decor was very nice, staff were really nice, breakfast was quite good, we received a free upgrade as the hotel was busy.

Room was a little bit noisy due to local nightlife, but nothing major.

Book it!

The breakfast buffet had an exceptional variety and quality of food. The staff were always pleasant and helpful. It was my first trip ever to Finland but I would stay here again for sure if I ever return.

Not enough surfaces to put things on in the room.

Beautiful hotel with very friendly staff- they couldn't have done more for us! Great location, perfect for people who have visited Helsinki before and those who are first timers, really easy to navigate the city from the hotel. Breakfast was stunning with so much choice, including more traditional Finnish options, very vegetarian friendly. The restaurant Monsieur K which is on site was lovely, great vibes and decor, not to mention delicious and aesthetically pleasing food, very fresh and well thought out plating. We really appreciated the LGBTQ+ friendly atmosphere, and all of the information available for us to have a great time as a queer couple in the city. 🏳️‍🌈

Clean and modern room

The hotel's location is very convenient, train station and most major attractions are by walking distance, and there's a tram station right in front of the hotel. The room is clean and modern, spacious for a single room. The breakfast was decent, and there's some minor changes everyday.

There was some issue with my room door, and had to take extra cautious to make sure it is shut when leaving the room. My room was not locked properly on the second day after the staff cleaned my room, I told the reception staff, who was nice but didn't seem to be very concerned about the security issue, luckily that didn't happen again. Apart from hotel guest, other guest without hotel key card using the event space on level B3 seem to also have access to the same floor at all time. The shower area is open, and the surroundings may be wet after taking a shower.

Very impressed, I’d happily go back any time.

The location cannot be beat. The room was exceptionally well appointed and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was huge with shower and a two person bath, and I very much enjoyed the balcony. I also felt the sound proofing was really good. The restrooms on the ground floor seemed very popular although I didn’t try it.

Can’t think of anything except there was no folding suitcase rack in the room.

Overall our stay was excellent

The range and quality of food at breakfast and the service by reception staff were excellent. The location was also perfect for our plans in Helsinki.

It was difficult to adjust the temperature of the room to a more comfortable level for sleeping.

Very good stay in Helsinki

The location is great within short walking distance to city centre and main landmarks. Breakfast is exceptionally good.

The rooms are rather small and access to the bed on one side was very narrow. The bathroom was tricky as the shower screen was so close to the toilet that it needed to be pushed inwards to use the toilet. After shower, the floor around the toilet was wet. However, it was managable once we worked it out.

A little gem of a hotel.

I absolutely adore the complete absence of any hypocritical notices about putting the towels on the rack and 'saving the Earth'. Breakfast is exceptional quality. Love your hotel and will come back.

All was good.

Great location and friendly staff

Lovely welcoming staff. Great location with tram stop outside and a short walk to Kauppatori, Cathedral etc. Good size room. Good variety at breakfast.

Very small bathroom, workable but small. Small step into room and bathroom - not really a problem as long as you remember they’re there, otherwise you might stub your toe like I did.

Great stay at a fantastic location.

Fantastic location. Great value.Friendly staff.Clean rooms, quality coffee machine in the room a nice plus. Room was very small,but had everything needed.

Showering leaves the whole bathroom floor wet, as there is no shower base. Hallways gloomy and color choices make them feel and look dirty. - Both minor inconveniences.

Friendly and fun hotel in an ideal central location.

The amenities offered at the hotel (breakfast, wifi, bars, and restaurants) were all clean, efficient, and high quality. They offered fun scheduled nights including comedy nights and drag brunches while we were there. We felt welcome and in a safe space during our stay. The property being LGBT+ friendly was a big incentive for choosing this hotel, as well as its central location. The bus stops right in front of the property which allows for easy commuting.

The bed and pillows were not very comfortable. The pillows were thin and lumpy. There was poor air circulation in the room which would get fairly hot in the middle of the night.
