Pros:

The restaurants,
The location,

Cons:

The room way below the expected,
House keeping also not belong to Waldorf Astoria level, the reception staff was very kind but couldn't help in changing room or plan any trip, not what we expected..

I believe the hotel may do better to reach to the standard of Waldorf Astoria..

Hotel und Personal exzellent, beim Frühstück war Geduld angesagt.
Pros:

Extrem freundliches Personal, Frühstück gut, Abendessen ok, aber wenig Auswahl.

Cons:

Bedienung beim Frühstück. Alle sehr freundlich, aber überfordert. Für sehr viele Gäste nur 4 Personen im Service. Besser wäre ein Buffet gewesen. So dauerte alles oft sehr lange, Tea kam schon lauwarm usw.

Sehr schöner Aufenthalt, ich würde das Hotel wieder buchen.
Pros:

Neues sehr schönes Hotel, freundliche Mitarbeiter, sind auf meinen Zimmerwunsch eingegangen.
Habe ein schönes Upgrade bekommen, danke. Schönes SPA, leider extra zu zahlen.

Cons:

SPA extra zu zahlen und kein Pool zum Schwimmen. Frühstück könnte besser sein und länger, ist nur bis 10:00.

Pros:

Pobyt w hotelu Waldorf Astoria w Helsinkach był bardzo udany. Na szczególne wyróżnienie zasługuje niezwykle miły i pomocny personel. Mimo że przybyliśmy przed oficjalną godziną zameldowania, otrzymaliśmy pokój od razu, a dodatkowo zaoferowano nam upgrade, co było bardzo miłym gestem.

Szczególne podziękowania kierujemy do konsjerża Samiego za profesjonalizm i zaangażowanie. Pokój był komfortowy, doskonale wyposażony, a prywatna sauna stanowiła świetne uzupełnienie pobytu.

Śniadania serwowane były w formie donoszenia przez obsługę, co nie do końca odpowiadało naszym preferencjom. Jednak mieliśmy przyjemność poznać Panią Anię, która swoją uprzejmością i profesjonalnym podejściem w pełni to zrekompensowała. Chętnie dzieliła się informacjami i wszystko dokładnie wyjaśniała, co było bardzo miłe i pomocne.

Podsumowując, pobyt oceniamy bardzo pozytywnie i z przyjemnością wrócilibyśmy do tego hotelu.

Cons:

Jedynym minusem była nieco niższa dźwiękoszczelność pokoju, co momentami wpływało na komfort wypoczynku.

Erinomainen elämys, ja loistava tapa viettää merkkipäivää.
Pros:

Majoituspaikassa pidimme siitä, että meidät otettiin hyvin vastaan ja ohjattiin omaan huoneeseemme sekä samalla kerrottiin missä hotellin eri tilat sijaitsevat.

Huone oli erittäin viihtyisä, ylellinen sekä siisti ja huoneen valojen, äänien ja lämpötilan
säätäminen onnistui helposti tabletin avulla.
Huoneen sänky oli todella hyvä ja lakanat erittäin pehmeät.

Aamupala/ asiakaspalvelu oli erinomaista ja henkilökunta oli ystävällistä sekä ammattitaitoista. Pidimme siitä miten majoituspaikka oli huomioinut syntymäpäiväni yllätyksellä, joka piristi päiväämme paljon.

Nautimme olostamme hotellissa ja aiomme tulevaisuudessa tulla uudestaan :)

Cons:

Huoneen sänky narisi todella paljon, kun halusi vaihtaa asentoa, joka häiritsi hieman nukkumista

We will come back
Pros:

beautiful hotel in good location, easy to walk from here to city, restaurants and sightseeing spots

Cons:

the breakfast was missing the indulgence factor, being the only reason I do not award the 10/10.
I dislike not being able to choose the table I wish to enjoy breakfast, table designated for two people helplessly too small and cramped. Otherwise everything was five star

Excellent long weekend stay.
Pros:

Lovely hotel in excellent location, just a 10 minute walk to the centre. The room was great and super clean with cleaners coming twice a day. The staff at reception and peacock bar were amazing, very helpful and friendly. Spa facilities were great, enjoyed the sauna and cold plunge. Breakfast was very good with good quality products.
