Forenom Aparthotel Helsinki Kamppi

Not a hotel, its an apt building...Pic on website have someone at the front desk, no one there.. they send you a code i hour before check in, very misleading, it work for some not my type of place. Ended up at the Holiday Inn.

Everything was good. But there was no sugar for tea.😆 Thankyou

Excellent for the price.

Near helsinki city centre. Convenient location to move around as there is a metro station and a bus station

What a cool neighbourhood!

This hotel is a really good value. House keeping staff and the young men who work on the property are wonderful. This message is for the management team and that is you have such a good hotel but why did you put in the cheapest pillows money can buy? All good hotels offer at least one soft pillow and one hard pillow. Please make this change. Those pillows are the worst and so people have to stack their clothes underneath to get a decent night sleep. Make this change, it’s an inexpensive fix, and your hotel is well on the way to being near the top. Mr. Canada 🇨🇦

An excellent choice for the heart of Helsinki.

No cleaning previous to my arrival. Dirty towels from previous customer. No service

I absolutely love these apartments and this is the second time that I have stayed here. On the day I arrived I received a text telling me which room I was staying in along with a code to access the building. I was in room 906 which is on the top floor. These apartments are so secure that you have to put the code in at the front gate if it is locked, the front door to gain access then the door leading to the corridor that your room is on and finally to get into the room. So no one can keep walk in off the street so to speak. It is on a great location with a K Market across the road and just a 10-15 minutes walk to the city centre. There is plenty of cafes around the apartments and I recommend the Heritage Cafe their hot chocolate is amazing and they also have a good selection of pastries. The trams are also near with the 7T and the number 9 stopping just around the corner. There is weekly cleaning of your room and you get a clean set of towels. I would stay here again the next time I go to Helsinki.

A very average experience, the location is convenient and the condition of the hotel was fine.

Forenom Kamppi is a great location. You can access many areas of central Helsinki from this place. The rooms are functional. Good for a place to rest after your days out. There are many options nearby for eating. Interactions with staff are good.

doesnt feel very secure as people can tailgate

Great view of the sunset and a very clean place to stay. The entrance is a bit sketchy but otherwise it's great.

Had a little bit of trouble receiving keycode to access the building but customer service was very responsive and effective.

Quiet enough, fair enough

This is the first time I have stayed in these apartments. I stayed in the ones in Rovaniemi owned by the same company so I knew what to expect. They are on a quiet street which is only a ten minute walk from the centre of Helsinki. There is a small supermarket across the road and plenty of coffee shops in the area so you can enjoy the great choice of cakes. I would stay here again when I visit Helsinki.

A bed and a shower in the city center for a reasonable price. Nothing fancy but nothing to complain about.

Bad: Really DO NOT stay in here if you want to sleep well. You can not open the windows and get fresh hair because there are no window handles. There is a hole in the ceiling which blows air and it makes the room super dry. In the morning I woke up with red eyes and nose stuffed. Horrible experience and could not sleep because of this. Morning also I woke up many times when people were banging the doors since the soundproof is not good. Very difficult check in process. You need to do the check in by sending ID and face pics or with Finland online proof ways. It is very difficult and takes time. Good: there was free instant coffee in room, wifi was decent, location is great, hot water in shower, toilet works, towel was clean.

First the positives: 1) The location is excellent 2) The kettle was clean 3) Quiet - the sound proofing is excellent Then the negatives: The room was dirty, layers of dust on every surface. Stains on the ceiling and door frames above the eye level. The bathroom door was full of holes hastily patched, looking like someone had discharged a shotgun at it. The armchair looked like it hadn't been cleaned since 1970s, I couldn't take a risk sitting on it. No instructions on what to do prior to vacating the room, e.g. to take out the rubbish or where to take it! In the toilet, the brush bowl was half-filled with water, excrement from previous use floating on the top. The beds are suitable for children only, about 2' wide; turn and you fall off. The pillows were not only tiny squares, but also so thin that you might as well use folded towel for one. Even by piling both on top of each other they barely were thick enough to sleep on. I ended up using the spare blanket underneath to make a bearable "pillow". The cooking facilities are inside a cabinet that felt like it was bought from Ikea sale. Only way to wash any dishes is in the bathroom washbasin. A trolley full of dirty linen was left in the middle of the stairway landing overnight making the whole landing smell rank.

Great location to be able to walk all over Helsinki and close to public transportation. The water is nice and "sanitation hot" for the dishes, and the laundry machines did a nice job too. There were the unescapable city noises outside and the front of the hotel is very "inner city urban", but the inside is well kept, clean, and one feels safe. A good portion of Helsinki has a sort of Blade Runner vibe to it as it loses it "old European architecture charm" to brutalist and boring boxes architecture "to cheer people through the long dark winters". So the "outside look of the hotel is the norm for Helsinki". I think it would assist alleviating the winter depression problems if they went back to making more charming, visually uplifting architecture or at least painting the gray things more bright cheerful colors. "The stoic modern brutalist" stuff affects one soul with the long dark, cold survival months.
