Accommodation - Finland - Helsinki

Currently ranked as the tenth most expensive city in the world, accommodation rates in Helsinki are, as to be expected, correspondingly high. Catering predominantly for the business traveller, service tends more towards efficiency than welcoming hospitality. And whilst the standard average room size may be considerer small for some the level of cleanliness is typically very high. With a surprisingly depressing array of accommodation available, most premium hotels are represented by the major international groups, offering little to add to one's cultural experience of the city.

Most hotels offer discounted rates for the weekend and additional price savings may be obtainable if you are prepared to book well in advance. Whilst demand is at a peak throughout the months of May through August, tourists continue to flock to Helsinki throughout the gloomy and overcast winter months to take advantage of the winter activities and northern lights.
