No vehicular access! Stay away!

The property is surrounded by a years-long major road construction project. Thus it is utterly inaccessible by car or taxi. This is not in any way communicated by the management. And there are no signs near the temporary "gangplank" to the hotel to indicate that one is going in the right direction. This complete lack of necessary communication is unacceptable! In my case, it resulted in two hours of wandering and an added taxi expense. Once inside, the hotel clerk was outstandingly helpful and friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. But the irresponsible behavior of the management cannot be forgiven or ignored. I must recommend not staying at this property!

A wonderful stay!

I love the CityBox brand and stay here whenever I am in Scandinavia. The room was excellent - without frills (minimalist in design) , and very comfortable. Location was ideal with the subway access in the building, and teams stopping almost across the street. Lots of dining options in the area as well as a lovely cafe that had breakfast. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends. My only suggestion would be to clearly identify when cleaning is scheduled. My stay was 10 days long, and cleaning happened twice.

A very new, great hotel, ideal for what we needed, great rooms, comfy bed and pillows, plenty of space even in the 'small' rooms. Clean, tidy, friendly and helpful staff/hosts. No TV in rooms which is no issues, good WiFi, communal area comfy seats a table tennis table, and a large kitchen, with coffee machines (pay to use, €2.50) for a variety of coffee, kettles, toaster and microwaves for guests to use to make their own breakfast, fridges for people to store their fresh food/drinks - just label 🏷 it as instructed. There's a lidl not far from the Hotel to get what you need for breakfast or suggtions to eat. About 20-30minutes walking from city centre or about 5 minutes on the Metro. 100% recommended and would stay again if in Helsinki, and will use the chain again if visiting other locations with CityBox in it. Hotel does recommend places to eat, and many you get discount with your room card, between 5-20% depending on the place, juttutupa was one place which is also highly recommended.
Kitchen area. Includes coffee machines and vending units (buying required), but also kettles, toaster, and fridges for guest to use.

New concept in hotels

The concept is interesting - no front desk, common areas where you can cook or visit, small rooms, etc. Even though the room was tiny, it had everything we needed, and we loved the big windows looking out on the city. It was new and spotlessly clean and the bed was heavenly comfortable. It was within walking distance of the Helsinki Cathedral and harbor area. There were some great little restaurants in the neighborhood. We'd highly recommend it.

Super clean and convenient location. Close to shops and many food options. Loved the small market located attached to hotel building for meal options when you don’t want to eat out or do fast food. Public transportation just steps away. Would not hesitate to come back!
