Pros:

Design, ilmapiiri

Cons:

Pyysin siivoamaan huoneen, ja tyhjä viini lämmenneessä coolerissa seisoi pöydällä edelleen samoin likaiset lautaset. Toki ne oli meidän extrana pyytämät mutta ihan finito (olisi voinut siivota). Meillä siis hääviikonloppu ja meikkausta oli ollut huoneessa..

Beautiful hotel - amazing staff
Pros:

We loved our stay at the St. George. Prior to coming, I emailed with questions. They were answered immediately by an amazing hotel staff member. She was the same person who checked us in and she remembered us! Our room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was absolutely amazing. We are still talking about the sourdough bread. The hotel itself is in a great location. We would absolutely stay here again.

Peak luxury at a prime Esplanade location!
Pros:

Amazing amenities, amazing location, top tier luxury, delicious on site bakery, great breakfast, classy bar!

Cons:

Not enough trash cans in room, loud construction started around 7am one morning, and staff didn’t distinguish the 20% off parking garage with the same name from another one that wasn’t 20% off that was also nearby.

Matalin kerros ja sisäpihan näkymä. Ehkä kalliimpi huone olisi ollut paremmalla puolella.

Super comfy stay in a chic, sophisticated hotel right in the middle of everything!
Pros:

I stayed at the Hotel St George for a five day vacation in Helsinki, and couldn't be more pleased with my choice! I stayed in a Serenity Studio room type, and while it was definitely on the smaller side, it was well designed and comfortable, and the perfect place to land after a long day out exploring the city.

First, the location of this hotel is excellent. It is on a beautiful, quiet park, a couple blocks from the Esplanadi, and walking distance to almost everything in central Helsinki. Nothing seemed to be more than a 15 - 20 minute walk away (tops), and many things were a 5 minute walk. There is also a great cafe on the ground floor which is perfect for breakfast or lunch, and seems to have lots of locals dining there as well.

The room we stayed in, the Serenity Studio, was good as an entry room-type. This room type comes with spa access (sauna, pool, steam room). The room was comfortable, though small, with thoughtful design touches and functionality features - there was a decent sized built in wardrobe, slim night stands with charging next to the bed, a modern and new bathroom, and a relaxing decor style.

The spa at the hotel was ok, but I wasn't too impressed with it. We went daily for a sauna and a steam room sit. You have to make a reservation via the front desk to prevent overcrowding, and even then, it felt like there were sometimes a lot of people there. The locker room wasn't always super tidy, and generally it didn't feel as special as it could have. But maybe I was expecting something a bit more magical in Finland, the world capital of sauna!

The staff was friendly and helpful, and housekeeping was very kind and attentive! No one hesitated when we asked for help, and were always professional and polite.

Overall, I think this is a great choice for a stay in Helsinki; and still felt a bit undiscovered, with a boutique feel - like a very chic address to stay at for your visit. I'd much rather stay here than at a chain hotel; and it feels like it's in a more perfectly peaceful area with more modern sophistication than Hotel Kamp which we were also debating staying at.

Beautiful stay
Pros:

This was one of the best hotels I have stayed in- everyone I encountered was professional and kind and helpful. I ate one dinner here, had some laundry done and booked a massage everything was perfect. The location is fabulous for walking the city. Highly recommend.

A pleasant stay
Pros:

I had a very comfortable stay. I stayed for three nights, and my room was kept clean and tidy every day.
I really liked the shampoo and hand soap; they had a lovely, refreshing scent.
The breakfast lived up to its reputation and was delicious. I especially enjoyed the cinnamon roll rusks, the dark sourdough bread, and the pumpkin salad. I was so full that I regret never ordering the homemade juice or egg dishes, even though they were offered every morning.
And I felt that the restaurant staff were professional.

Cons:

Although I had reserved a breakfast time in advance via a Booking.com message, the information hadn't been passed on, and I had to confirm it again at check-in. Since I’m not very confident in English, I got a bit confused and felt bad about causing trouble for the reception staff.

Sadly disappointing experience
Pros:

We stayed at St George last year in the Atelier Studio with balcony and thought this was absolutely the best hotel in Helsinki. This year we booked the same room expecting the same quality but got one facing the back with basically views of walls. The balcony was a miserable little one. Not once did we step onto it. When we asked to change at reception it was obviously not possible because every room was full. The woman at reception said ”if the balcony is important to you make sure you request one with a view”. Well, given that we paid quite a lot of extra to have the balcony, that would be evident! So yes, this hotel is very nice, just be careful with your room choice! We felt ripped off and probably won’t return.
