Marski by Scandic

I’m the kind of person that likes to do proper research before booking any stay and I never heard of Scandic before so I was skeptical but it exceeded wayyy beyond my expectations! Of all the hotels this was the closest to the city centre and the shops. I would also like to thank Svetlana for being SO helpful, she contacted other hotels we booked in Finland for our upcoming stays regarding some questions we had. Excellent customer service, the staff did everything they possibly could to make sure things went smooth for us. They even put a sweet treat in our room as we were celebrating our anniversary. Also, the room was huge compared to other hotels we were staying in. Will never consider staying anywhere else in Helsinki.

Loved everything.

Very professional staff. Excellent breakfast, served until noon.

Modern and very nice rooms. Good breakfast that was also not too noisy. Dinner was better than I would expect from an Scandic hotel. That said it was still slightly over pretentious. The food looked a lot better than it tasted.

Had to switch rooms since there was absolutely zero cell reception in the -1 floor room I had booked. (Reception handled it nicely and there was only a small fee to upgrade to a better room above ground.) Slightly confusing lighting system in the room. Never figure out how to turn off the light in the bathroom. (Did not really matter but anyway :-))

Fantastic location very close to the train station. The rooms are fantastic, we were upgraded to a bigger room and it was fabulous. The bathroom is immaculate, beds are comfortable and the decor is very nice. Breakfast is nice also, good variety of things, i suggest the reindeer meatballs! The fitness room is also very well equipped but there is no mirror. Staff is fantastic, everyone is so friendly. Only small negative is that you dont get any bathroom amenities like toothbrush or shaving kit....unless you pay for it. We dined here 1 night and the salmon was good! Overall great experience and we will be back!!

No bathroom amenities
