Fabulous Hotel

Pros: Pre stay communication was done smoothly both the front desk and the concierge replied to our emails during the same day. The service at the hotel was also very welcoming and friendly. The room was beautiful and luxurious. We especially enjoyed the large bathroom and the Bvlgari amenities. In addition, the bed was of high quality and we got a good night's sleep. The Spa was also really beautiful and they offered a large selection of different massages and treatments. The buffet breakfast was of high quality and the Lilja restaurant was beautifully furnished. Cons: We didn’t experience any cons during our stay and we’d love to stay at Hotel Maria again!
Great facilities, but in a five-star hotel, the service should also reach the same level

The hotel and the room was quiet and clean and the interior was great. But the hotel staff (and the staff at the restaurant) seem to be a bit unsure in every situations and not what I expect from a 5-star hotel. There is not the flexibility, initiative and clarity in communication with me as a guest. It creates for me a lack of clarity in what I can expect.
Don’t go to this hotel!!!! Spare your money, it doesn’t worth it! There are more better hotels in Helsinki

The hotels location is not good at all. Nothing special about hotel. But the worst is the manager of this hotel

We loved our 2 night stay here and only wished we had more nights! We wanted to be close to the Christmas Market and the location was perfect. It was a very easy walk. Weather was pleasant enough for us to actually walk to everything we wanted to see nearby. We stayed in a Premier Deluxe room and it was luxurious and super spacious. Bed was cozy and comfortable. Staff were incredibly kind and helpful. Highly recommend this hotel!

A beautiful hotel in a nice neighborhood that’s off the beaten path but still within walking distance from the cathedral, the ferry dock, the water, and market square. Wonderful, helpful and friendly staff, delicious breakfast, and new, refreshing, elegant rooms and bathrooms. Small touches like a handwritten welcome note, Bulgari toiletries, automated room darkening shades, and luxurious soft beddings made a big sensory impact. The spa/wellness center is the best feature of this hotel and comes complete with a sauna, steam room, plunge pools, relaxation lounge, and separate gender locker rooms. A truly memorable stay. Thumbs up!
