The hotel's not right in the centre of the city, but about 10 mins walk from the central station. It's a nice walk though, and you'll see some of the sights already on your way to the hotel, like the museum of contemporary art (Kiasma), the National Museum, Finlandia Hall and the Parliament house. The hotel is next to the beautiful bay Töölönlahti; just cross the road to enter the lovely park in front of the bay. Nice place to relax in the sun in summer, and you can follow the trail around the bay and enjoy the views, great for jogging as well!
Stayed one night at Scandic Continental, and the first impression of my room was that it was a bit dated. But it was cosy and clean and there was enough space for one person, so it was OK for one night stay. The bathroom was clean and very bright with big mirrors and the towels were spotless.
Checking in and out was quick, I had my room ready at 11:30 am when I arrived.
The breakfast was served at the hotel restaurant "Lastu" on the ground floor. It was the typical Scandic breakfast buffet, plentiful with hot dishes, cold cuts, yoghurts, berries, fresh fruit, juice, coffee and tea. There even was a separate little buffet for kids, which was quite convenient I think. The buffet area got very crowded by 9 am and was quite cramped, so be there early!
There's a sauna and a swimming pool up on the 9th floor. I would've liiked a swim after a long day, but it cost 17 €/person so I decided not to go. I was a bit disappointed at that. It would've been free of charge in the morning from 7 till 12.
