Original Sokos Hotel Tripla Helsinki

Location, location, location! The hotel is just off the lobby of Pasila rail terminal, where all intercity and local trains out of Helsinki stop, so it's very convenient for travelling to/from other parts of Finland, or to airport, and locally. FAO summer visitors, it's also about 10 minute walk from Linnanmaki theme park and you can see the theme park from 'city view' rooms, which look towards Helsinki, and the sea beyond. These rooms are also great for trainspotters, it's kind of fun to observe the double deckers and other trains going back and forth. But it's very quiet - you don't hear traffic noise at all. The style of rooms is modern and we loved the window wall :D We loved the location 'at the mall' as it was fun to shop and visit the food court, and many cafes. There's also 24h Alepa store with salad bar, snacks, drinks, etc. We tend to come here on every Helsinki trip with family as it's cheaper than central Hki but the mall means there's something to do - even cinema - until late, which is great with teenagers :D There's also amazing breakfast with Finnish delicacies - try rahka (creamy berry/yoghurt mix) and Karelia rice pies with egg butter and a bit of crispy bacon on top :D And there's luggage storage if you head out to exploring on your arrival / departure day.

Breakfast offered a generous variety, with plenty of options to suit different tastes. There was a good selection of breads and spreads, alongside various cereals. One particularly notable feature was the impressive assortment of cakes, which added a delightful touch to the morning meal. However, the warm food left something to be desired—it could certainly benefit from some improvements in both quality and variety. Overall, I would rate the breakfast experience a solid 8 out of 10. The room itself was a pleasant surprise—modern in design, tastefully decorated, and most importantly, very clean. It provided a comfortable and relaxing space to unwind, contributing positively to the overall stay.

We were very satisfied with our choice. Excellent connections to city and airport. Part of the tripla mall so lots of opportunities to eat out or go to shops. Comfortable beds and nice shower. They do charge for extra towels or robes so this might annoy some people but it was fine for our length of stay. Lots of choice and space in the breakfast room and cosy bar. I would recommend overall and stay here again if I was going to the convention center around the corner. Reception staff were lovely too. It was also nicer looking design-wise I real life than in pictures.

The hotel overall was great. Breakfast was served every morning. It was clean and quiet. The location was convenient with access to the mall and to public transportation as well.

Comfortable and clean hotel at a great location! I really enjoyed the breakfast too, so many options. We asked for extra pillows and they were brought to us in minutes. Also when we had a noise complaint about a neighbour room, the reception dealt with it immediately.
