Book a hotel in Helsinki

Finding the right place to stay can shape your entire visit to Helsinki. From chic design hotels to cosy guesthouses, you will discover options dotted around the city, each offering a unique glimpse into local life. To help you plan your perfect Finnish getaway, eDreams has rounded up everything you need to know about hotels in Helsinki.

Discover Helsinki, where modern design meets serene nature. This northern capital offers a fascinating blend of architectural marvels, innovative cuisine, and a deep connection to the Baltic Sea. You'll find a city renowned for its design district, home to countless galleries and boutiques showcasing Finnish creativity, alongside a thriving sauna culture, deeply embedded in local life.

Explore Helsinki's striking architecture, from the distinctive Temppeliaukio Church (Rock Church) carved directly into solid rock, to the impressive Suomenlinna sea fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage site just a short ferry ride away. Wander through the bustling Market Square (Kauppatori) by the harbour, or admire the grandeur of Helsinki Cathedral in Senate Square. With a wide range of accommodation options available, from stylish boutique hotels to comfortable guesthouses, you'll easily find the perfect base for your visit.

When booking a hotel in Helsinki, the city centre, particularly the Kluuvi district, is a popular choice for its convenient location and wide range of accommodation options.

The Kluuvi area sits at the heart of Helsinki, offering easy access to major shopping streets, department stores, and cultural institutions. You will find many hotels here, ranging from luxury to mid-range. Key landmarks include the Ateneum Art Museum, the Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Finnish National Theatre. Adjacent to Kluuvi is Kamppi, a bustling district known for its large bus terminal and shopping complex. This area also offers numerous hotels and is within walking distance of the Temppeliaukio Church (Rock Church).

For a different atmosphere, consider Kallio, located north-east of the city centre. This bohemian district is known for its Art Nouveau architecture and vibrant local life. Accommodation here often includes more boutique hotels and apartments. Kallio offers easy access to the Linnanmäki amusement park and the Helsinki Zoo on the nearby island of Korkeasaari. South of the centre, the Punavuori district, part of the wider Design District, provides a stylish alternative with design-focused hotels and a charming neighbourhood feel.

Choosing a hotel in Helsinki means excellent transport links are always nearby. The city centre areas of Kluuvi and Kamppi are well-served by trams, buses, and the metro, making it easy to reach all parts of the city. For arrivals, Helsinki-Vantaa Airport (HEL) is approximately 12 miles north of the city centre. You can reach it efficiently by train from Helsinki Central Station or by bus, connecting seamlessly with your chosen hotel location.

To find cheaper hotel stays in Helsinki, consider booking during the shoulder seasons of spring (April-May) or autumn (September-October). You'll avoid the peak summer prices and the extreme cold of winter, often finding better deals on accommodation. Another way to save is to look for hotels outside the immediate city centre but with good public transport links. Helsinki's excellent tram system makes it easy to get around from neighbourhoods like Kallio or Punavuori, which often offer more budget-friendly options and a chance to experience local life, including traditional Finnish saunas that are a cornerstone of Helsinki culture.

Booking a hotel with a self-catering option, even just a kitchenette, can also cut costs by allowing you to prepare some meals yourself. Explore our wide selection of Helsinki hotels to find the perfect stay for your budget. Book your next hotel with eDreams today and secure a great deal.
