About this place Hilton Helsinki Strand

Hilton Helsinki Strand is a mainstream waterfront hotel on John Stenbergin ranta, four minutes on foot from Hakaniemi metro station and around a 13-minute walk to the Ateneum and the central station. It's listed as gay-friendly; it is not a gay hotel. Rooms are standard upscale Hilton with a desk, minibar and kettle. Executive rooms include lounge access with breakfast, and some suites have balconies over the bay. Breakfast otherwise costs extra. Helsinki's small gay scene is a short tram or metro ride away in the centre.

The hotel is very centrally located, has a good standard, and is only a 10-minute walk from the city center. There you'll find lots of shops, restaurants, and cafes. I enjoy staying there.

Decent location. The hotel was built in 1988 and it shows. It is in a terrible state of disrepair. The hotel is dirty, the elevators are gross, the wood furnishing are cracked and gross looking in terrible need of refurbishing. The shower water pressure is miserably pathetic, making it nearly impossible to feel clean, the rooms are not clean and the entire property needs substantial cleaning. I stay at Hilton properties across the world. The fact that this is allowed to be called a Hilton and not the lesser brand “Spark” is a disservice to Hilton members. Hilton should strike the name off this property. The pool is also ice cold with no hot tub. Definitely not worthy of the Hilton brand name.
