Hotel is kept really well, very clean rooms. Really good breakfast with a huge variety of food. Staff at check in were very polite and helpful. Great pool and saunas (although male and female saunas are separate!) Great location, making it very easy to explore Helsinki.

After a bad experience having to check out early at another hotel, we found Hotel Presidentii, which was great. Big hotel but the rooms are quiet and clean. The bathroom has a heated floor which is a nice feature. BreaBreakfast

This hotel was really great. The location was central and the pool and sauna were great. Hotel is slightly dated but that sort of gave it charm. The hotel doesn't really have a bar open past 9pm so that was a bit of a bummer when looking for a night cap post dinner. Overall, we were very happy and it was a great hotel to end our trip with.

I had a medical emergency and had a non refundable room and asked if I can swap my stay with a date in April 4 days before my arrival and they refused which is their legal right. I do not think it is fair and will never stay there with this sort of experience.
