Comfort Hotel Helsinki Airport
Not a bad place for just a night stay when you have an early flight the next morning. Would be a better stay if there were more pillows on the bed versus just one per person.

VALO Hotel & Work Helsinki
was a bit disappointed. Good WiFi. Small room. Got overcharged multiple times by the staff at the bar. Ordered the same thing and it was charged multiple dollars higher everytime. $12 for a shot of vodka is legit robbery ! Next day. I got a drink at the bar around 1:45pm as well as two other people ...

Scandic Grand Marina
The rooms were extremely quiet. Breakfast was great. Sauna was great. The website still says their restaurant is open (its closed during renovations).
