Clarion Hotel Aviapolis

Excellent breakfast buffet with lots of food options! Comfortable beds, nice shower. Good size of room. If you're looking for a hotel with easy airport access, you can't really beat this. It's just one stop away from the airport on the train (which is easy to use), and the hotel itself is a stone's throw from the train station. We chose this spot for convenience because we were only in Helsinki for one night (flying in one day, then flying north to Lapland the next day), and we weren't sure if we'd be too tired to go into town. But we ended up having energy and it was very easy to hop on the train and go into old town Helsinki for the evening! I wouldn't recommend it for an extended stay in Helsinki since it's a 30-min train ride into Helsinki city center, but it's great for an airport hotel if that meets your travel needs.

Staff were friendly and professional but when asked why I MUST provide an email address I wasn't given a satisfactory answer.

An overnight stay before my flight that left me well rested, nourished and delighted! I received a very warm welcome at the desk and my request about a bathtub was fulfilled, even got a pouch of bath salts to take with me to the room! The room was bigger than expected and very clean with lots of comfortable and convenient elements. I ordered food from the restaurant and went to pick it up so I could eat in my room. The atmosphere was really nice there too and the staff was helpful and smiling. There was a slight misunderstanding with my order and I informed them, giving some feedback but telling I was probably not clear enough so I had my part in the mistake. Anyhow I received a message later that evening where the restaurant staff invited me for a free drink as an apology. I didn't notice it in time but I thought the gesture was nice. In the morning I was surprised when a staff member at the desk recognised me and told me there was a letter for me. The restaurant staff had left me two coupons for a glass of cava (also non alc.) to use whenever I wished in here or Clarion Helsinki. The message was really sweet and I think this went beyond good customer service. Breakfast was really good with a wide range of different foods and drinks, nothing was missing. Trip to the airport was easy and fast. I will definitely return to this hotel whenever I'm flying and honestly would consider coming for other types of stays too.

Very easy to get to from the airport either by train (station is right outside if you take the correct exit) or by taxi if you’re very tired with a lot of luggage (recommend Taksi Helsinki approx. 15eur). Room was lovely, large, and provides a great relaxation either before or after your flight. Kettle with cute mugs available and lovely breakfast as well yum!

The hotel is relatively new, nicely designed and clean. The best part about its location is that it sits right on top of an entrance to a metro station, from which it is possible to go both ways: to Helsinki or to the airport. The bed was comfortable, there was a choice of pillows and the blanket was light and warm. My bathroom had a bathtub and all of toiletries by Rituals of Sakura (including hair conditioner and body lotion). I had to leave for my flight by 5:30 and with the breakfast starting at 6 a.m., it was still possible to have the early breakfast served in the hall from 4 a.m.
