Vantaa Hotels

The advertising for the Hotel is an example of Bait and Switch. 330 rooms, contemporary dining and restaurant. Normally, I would never stay at an airport Hotel, but due to an early flight the next morning and the presence of a contemporary restaurant I figured why not have a good meal, a nice evening before bed and then wake up at the airport. The restaurant has 200+ seats, but the kitchen is small and can only produce 10 meals an hour. The HVAC equipment is undersized and unbalanced, the smell of burnt oil was evident even at the bar which is almost as far away as one can get from the kitchen. After 90 minutes waiting for our meals, multiple course chef specials, I left the restaurant and went back to my room; my wife stayed since we had been fighting about what to do the entire evening. Close to 10 pm my wife returned to the room and 10 minutes later our food was delivered via room service. I refused the food and sent it back. How can I be expected to enjoy a multiple course meal served all at once at 10:15 pm? My evening was ruined. It was a lose / lose situation. All I got was no dinner, no food, and marital discord. Needless to say the conjugal joy I was expecting after a good meal never materialized. The geniuses who put a tiny kitchen in a big restaurant in a big hotel need to be fired. The people who do the ad work should be jailed. Avoid this Hilton, stay in the city for a good meal and a fun evening.

The perfect location for access to the airport.

Ease of access to Vantaa Airport , internet access , shuttle bus to airport

good location near to the airport, free parking lot

opportunity to use aquapark,nearness of shopping centre,opportunity to stay with 3 children.Very good presonal a the reception

The first advantage of the hotel is its location. Very close to the airport, comfortable for transit passengers.

The connected gym and easy access to the restaurants.

Nothing

The location of the hotel is perfect in terms of connection transport from trains, buses and airport

Nice swimming pool. Nice breakfast. Nice location, large parking place. Clean rooms, Very silent hotel.

The shower gel was over.

Very good beds. I've slept as a child

Cannot find at once in the night.

Very nice hotel, with nicely decorated rooms with tea facilities, free parking (you can get to the garage by lift from the hotel), you can open a part of the window (in many hotel you can open any part of the window), free wi-fi, it takes 20 minutes to reach Helsinki by car. We liked almost everything

The breakfast is good but can be a little bit better

The hotel is located close to the company I was visiting and the location at the mall is perfect.

Good simple accommodation and they also had a sauna available to guests.

clean, very welcoming stuff

Very well in every respect. Ideal for a family trip. Spacious rooms equipped with everything you need.

I liked sauna in the room, free wi-fi, modern big TV, kitchen with all I need and beautiful view out of the windows with playing squirells.

During our 3 days stay nobody cleaned the room.

Sauna and island with museum near hotel

it is possible to have free wi-fi inside the rooms

Beautiful place, good service, excellent view from the window, good car parking, helpful and friendly staff

Internet for additional payment

Very close to the airport with free airport shuttle to and from hotel.

liked everything. Very happy with our stay.

It was very clean and comfortable. The staff was helpful in answering all of our questions. It was a good price and the bus shuttle to the airport was convenient. We would definitely stay again.

Good service from staff ... good, clean facilities

Early closure of restruant for late arrival ...

The rooms for reasonably big and comfortable. The view over the lake was very nice.

They played loud music outside during the night. Being a fan of U2 I enjoyed it, but it might be very disturbing to others.

Receptionist was very friendly.

Good location, convenient means of transport, very clean room, frendly staff, comfort bed, excellent breakfast

All is all right

Convenient location next to the Exhibition Cenre and the railway station. Quiet room with all the basic necessities.

The room temperature was a bit too warm and was not adjustable.

Very functional and practical setting, welcoming atmosphere, spaceous layout, easily reachable and in close enough distance from airport.

As such the hotel was ok. The area the hotel is in is more an office area so for a nice evening out one has to travel to the city centre. This is however acceptable as the hotel is advertised as such.

A 2-week stay proved consistently good service and facilities. Our group of 9 family members were able to easily catch the hotel shuttle bus that runs regularly and promptly (every 30 minutes throughout most of the day) to connect to Helsinki's superb rail system at the airport, only 5 minutes away. The very large breakfast buffet runs 4 - 10 am and is consistently well-stocked and a big hit for everybody. Significant numbers of professional visitors keep an upscale image, while many families also use the hotel. Two well-equipped play rooms for toddlers up to middle-school age children were also a big bonus for our family. The rooms are comfortable but not huge. The 2-twin bed room had a large built-in sitting couch and one desk chair, allowing all 9 of us to sit to make plans, with 2 people sitting on the bed. The bathroom was clean. Hardwood floors (European common) were well-maintained and daily cleaned. Plenty of power outlets are available. Room temperature and humidity were easily adjusted and relatively quiet. The overall noise level was extremely low, room-to-room, as well as from the hallway. While no dresser drawers are provided, the large wardrobe closet with two 2-feet wide hanger spaces and additional column of storage cubbies was sufficient for our multi-week stay. The check-in/out process was quick. A 10-minute walk to the very large Jumbo mall provided a wide array of food and shopping opportunities.

Our top floor room (7th) faced the Ring 3 highway which prevented use of the fresh air window due to traffic noise. However, the room was exceptionally quiet with the window closed. Ask for opposite side room, if available. The mini frig is labeled as a cooler only to +10C, however, it seemed adequate for most chilled drinks and even milk products. With such exceptional breakfast buffet service, it seemed odd to have long waits for afternoon/evening restaurant meal service. Few people used the restaurant. The hotel across the street had faster service and more reasonable menus for our taste. The Hemingway bar was comfortably equipped for small or large group gatherings, but speaker music was a bit loud for any intimate conversation.

Overall good airport hotel, decent breakfast, the airport shuttle is right on time.

I checked in a few hours early, additional fee is 10 Euro per hour. Wish I had known that ahead of the stay - I might have picked a hotel closer to city and taken cabs to airport instead.

Does not provide frequent flyer bonus points for the stay, so nearby Hilton for the same price is a better deal.

Location

Restaurant / food facilities are lacking after 19:00

Location is fine. Staff very friendly, even allowing us to stay after noon since the hotel wasn't too full. Price-quality axle fine. Nice to have a mini-bar. Coffee-tea-making wd also be nice.

The hotel is built on a fairly restricted site so that the restaurant/breakfast room is a little bit small.

In general good. Close to Linnanmaki amusement park. 3B round-bound tram station located few steps from entrance.

Overpriced.

Very large & comfortable room, despite only booking a single. Very helpful & friendly staff.

Lack of ATM & no restaurant facilities for lunch & dinner at weekends - Not ideal when it's -20c outside & you have to walk in to town to find somewhere open.

Free Internet, Sauna

In the middle of nowhere, below average breakfast, need refurbishing

No availability of local Restrauants to deliver food.

really nice hotel,good buffet breakfast,very clean,ideally situated

The view, location, comfort, cleanliness

15€ surcharge for room service

Nothing.

The water was off all day, and they didn't tell us. The building was shaking and loud noises all through the stay because of construction. If they told us, we would have booked elsewhere. Their greed surpassed our comfort. They said they notified us, but they didn't post until after we were booked in.

The hotelroom was nice and spacious, breakfast was good and the lobby area nice, bautiful view to the sea and surrounding buildings.

No complaints.

Staf is friendly. Spacious room, very comfortable bed, clean. The whole impression is quite good.

The building of the hotel needs repairing. Cooking is not good enough.

Fantastic location. Warm and comfortable with great services - sauna, guest laundry and very helpful reception staff. Breakfast was varied and delicious. Good option for families.

Nothing

There is no staff at all. Nobody irritates.

The location was acceptable is about the best and only good thing I can say for it

It may be the worst price:value hotel I've ever encountered. Expensive ($260) but feels like the assembly plant for Ikea. Television was partially blacked out, the toilet was unflushed (you know what I mean) and the whole place cheesey.

Comfortable room, beautiful view from the window, It was not far from railway station

It was too crowdy in the restaurant in morning

Complimentary umbrellas for the rainy season and free wifi. The wifi in our room was very spotty though. The location is great and in the center of the city. It is literally right next to the bus station and finnair provides a shuttle service for €6 to the city center.

Shower had tons of mold and also leaked everywhere. The outlets only charge your phone when the lights are on. Overall the room was very small with dreary outdated decor. Breakfast is pricey at €18.00

Great location, staff spoke excellent English and were all really helpful.

Good and various breakfest, friehdly staff, near to the centre of city

not enough parking spots, used furniture

24 hour reception. Clean and comfortable.

Only breakfast and location

We paid for superior room - but it was nothing like that. Ugly swimming pool, very poor sauna. Service - awful (queues for check in and check out, 2 service girls working instead of 4, the room was not ready even by 16.00 (not cleaned yet and we had to wait). The hotel needs renewal. The price doesnot correspond quality at all

The restaurant was always overcrowded; it was difficult to find a place to sit.

Clean, good location, good wifi, decent sized room.

Breakfast wasn't great, could hear people in adjacent rooms.

Great staff snd spacious rooms. Location is ideal for visiting Helsinki. Good breakfast buffet.

Could use a new paint job

Heating system operates well. Kettle in the room is very good idea in winter. Nice staff.

Need light renovation.

Location, beautiful art-nouveau style, cosy room, good restaurant, friendly staff

Included Breakfast was fantastic. Staff was extremely friendly.

Room air conditioning did not work reliably and Windows were locked. When we inquired about it, the staff was very proactive in trying to remedy the situation. Hotel was dated, kinda looks Like it's stuck in the 1970's.

Breakfast was amazing...relatively close to attractions

Old facilities, dirty furniture, impersonal staff

Best location in town, best access to all transport modes, elegant high grade design of room, facilities and public spaces, great breakfast, Supermarket and Department Store on site, friendly effecient service, flexibility to accomodate special request, overall warm pleasant atmosphere,

Very central not very moderen fornitures but ok. Good relation quality price
