"Cheap" single room in a centrally located hotel?

by Stroller

Hi,

I'm not sure if a relatively cheap single room in a centrally located hotel exist in Helsinki. I checked booking.com and it looks the Helsinki is quita an expensive place. I'll very much appreciate it if someone could recommend an inexpensive hotel not far from downtown Helsinki or the port.

Many thanks in advance.

Also check out the Cumulus chain. Reasonable rates.

Many thanks for the advice. That's very help. Within 80 euro is ok, but I'd rarely seen that on the web. Thanks again.

Travel Tips for Helsinki

History I

by Kuznetsov_Sergey

The first mention of a parish of Helsinki (Helsinge) concerns to 1351 when monks of an Estonian monastery received rights on fishing salmon in this district.

The central part of this settlement with a church was in the territory of the modern city of Vantaa.

The city of Helsingfors (the Finnish capital is named so in Swedish) was founded in 1550 by the Swedish king Gustav Vaza on a place of a small fishing port. Gustav Vaza wanted it compete to Revel (nowadays Tallinn, the capital of Estonia).

Raw Salmon in Coarse Salt

by sinequanon

One of the must taste things in Helsinki is raw salmon wrapped in coarse salt and dill and left for a day in the frigde. Absolutely delicious on buttered bread provided someone knows how to slice it in paper thin slices. you can buy it at the open market on the port. the vendor will prepare it for you. you just have to eat it. :-)))

The sights

by K1W1

While wandering the city it is easy to see the foreign influences on the architecture. While the new city buildings are modern steel and glass structures, there are several historical buildings, especially around the Senaatintori, which have been well preserved.

Helsinki shows it´s beautiful...

by anniina

Helsinki shows it´s beautiful side in summertime.Of course you can and must come here also when it snows and everything is white, but there is more to see at summertime..You have to go to Suomenlinna(an island 10minutes trip from the center of Helsinki), to Lappi restaurant to eat traditional food from Lapland or have a cup of coffee or a huge sweet roll in Café Esplanad...or go for a walk to Seurasaari (outdoor museum).There are so many good museums and art gallerys and of course pure nature near Helsinki!And so many things to do and see! my fondest memory of Helsinki is... it´s the middle of the summer and I´m sitting at the Tuomiokirkko's stairs eating ice-cream and listening to a consert taking place in Kauppatori...nice

by nikolka

send email home:) Access to Internet is unbelievable ... Finland is the real virtual country:) You can find free Internet inside World Trade Center near the main railway station. There are two touch-screens there. Other free accesses are in Latsi-palace between Sokos (a department store) and the main bus station on Mannerheimittie. There is a library on second floor of this building and there you can either reserve computer when you have a library card (see my tip on libraries) or go to these touch-screen and use them (they are usually qeues for them though). Another place in the center is directly in the main railway station - in one of magazine shops.

Q: Do busses run to the airport 24/7? If not, what time do they start? "I need to get to the airport by 6 AM on Sunday (so I probably need to get on the bus around 5:30 AM), will the 615 or the Finnair..."

A: "I walked down to where the 615 departs from but I didn't see any type of time-schedule listed anywhere. :/"
