Hotel Klaus K

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. 🏳️‍🌈

The location is good, with restaurants nearby and walking distance to the station and main sights. We'd booked a double room but were allocated a 'suite' which meant we had plenty of space to chill as well as sleep. The bed was comfortable and king sized, and the room was very quiet. The buffet breakfast was more than adequate and the coffee pretty good considering it was out of a machine. The onsite Italian restaurant, Toscanini, is excellent, with great food and friendly service.

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.

To be fair, pretty much everything - can't really fault this property. I requested a "quiet spot" in my pre-arrival communication and they certainly supplied that for me. Room was comfortable, reasonable enough size, nice bed, nice pillows, good shower, a small window that opened for fresh air, spare toilet roll [always an indicator of the property approach to guests and expenses] and plentiful bottles of bathroom liquids if you happen to not BYO. Room came with a 'mini bar' which is fine if you like that sort of thing - a space in a mini fridge would be a better addition so chocolate or snacks can be placed. There are adequate lounge and seating areas if you happen to like chillin in your location and its a comfortable space behind reception. For me, i just need a small quiet, central base from which to start and end the day - for that it was a very good choice to make - right on Tram #6 literally on the doorstep. Taxi rank just up the road and a coffee / pastry shop on the corner. This is a good spot, a good property and I very much appreciated a 6th floor, high up, out of the way room that was definitely quiet - which is really all I do ask for. No hesitation recommending this property to visitors to Helsinki.

It almost doesn't get more central than this. Roll out of a (very comfortable) bed and you're almost at the Esplanadi. My room was not big but well-furnished, with a great shower and clothes-hanging facilities. I used the gym once, which was well-furnished too. Breakfast was abundant, diverse and tasty. The staff was friendly, prompt and helpful. I personally really appreciated that this hotel did not just talk the talk on LGBTQ+ friendliness, but also seemed to walk the walk. Finally, the views from the rooftop bar were spectacular.
