Exceptional hotel
Pros:

Beautiful hotel with newly renovated large bathroom. Exceptional customer service. The front desk go out of their way to help with organizing activities, restaurant reservations and transportation. They even put a bag together of items we would need for sauna and delivered it to our room. It’s in a fantastic location.

Charming hotel in a very central location with a wonderful breakfast
Pros:

Very central location to see the old town & cathedrals. Breakfast was very good - choice and quality of the ingredients was outstanding. Room was comfortable and the washroom was modern.

Cons:

Certain preparations of eggs ( like eggs benedict etc) was charged separately which i thought was uncalled for should have been part of the breakfast buffet cost.

Bath salts should have been replenished since i had used it the first night

A Helsinki Icon
Pros:

From the moment you step through the doors of Hotel Kamp, you feel like you're in their perfectly curated world.

My husband and I stayed here over the winter period, and going from the snow-filled streets outside to the grand, heritage interior made the Christmas-feeling even cosier.

The newly renovated Bar was an experience we would recommend to everyone. Each cocktail has its own story and one that speaks back to the history of the hotel.

I celebrated a birthday during our stay, and with no requests from my husband or I, they offered a special in-house celebration. It may not seem like a lot but when you get to the level of service that Hotel Kamp operates in, its the small details that have the lasting impacts. In my opinion.

The interior, as you would expect, is incredible and every corner designed and maintained perfectly. The dining room for their buffet breakfast felt like you were in a private home (...a very large private home!).

The concierge knew the local areas and information/events ect. to the T. And not just generically to anyone who asked, but specifically to each guest's age, interests, and desired experiences.

An Old Modern Hotel
Pros:

The Hotel Kamp in Helsinki

Our trip to Finland started in Helsinki, with a stay of two nights in the Hotel Kamp. Situated in the Esplanade, the hotel is especially useful because of its prime and tempting location. I use the word tempting advised because it is smack, dab, bang in the middle of a high end shopping area. This was evident even as we approached the hotel on our way from the airport.

Check in was smooth and the cheerfulness of the Finns was evident even as we were checked in. By the time we had completed our formalities, our bags had already been transported to the room.

The hotel boasts of a long and storied history and the lobby and architecture reflected the antiquity of the Hotel. However, the room and the amenities in the bathroom were quite modern. The room was very spacious and the bathroom spic and span and brightly lit. The amenities however, covered just the basic necessities.

Our room overlooked a central courtyard, which housed the Kamp Galleria and the central glass dome of the Galleria enabled a peek into the furnishings carried by that store.

An especial mention must be made about the wide and comfortable beds - neither too hard nor too soft. A turn down service was available in the evenings. There is a locker in the room and the selection of Nespresso Pods was more than just basic. There is a well stocked mini bar, which we did not use.

The hotel is in the centre of the city, close enough to the waterfront and just a couple of minutes away from the larger departmental stores like Stockmann, Forum and the like. Public transportation if required is also close by. There are a couple of Michelin starred restaurants in the vicinity.

Breakfast was served on the second floor. There is ample seating and essentially a buffet service. The spread was decidedly balanced in favour of the non vegetarians. there were a few items, that could be ordered a la carte, for which there was an additional charge. The Finnish pancakes, with the homemade marmalade and jams was especially tasty. My wife had an egg white omelette, that she was all in praise of.

The staff were extremely polite and quite friendly and go the extra mile to make the guests feel at home. all in all we had an enjoyable stay in the hotel and would definitely like to stay here, if we come back to Helsinki.
