Great hotel in the center of Helsinki
Even the small room was surprisingly spacious. Bed was excellent and overall liked the aesthetic. Great breakfast was a added bonus. Overall better than many of the more on expensive hotels around.

Hobo Helsinki......great location and comfortable!
Our family of 4 found Hobo Helsinki to be in a great location near train central station and major shopping area and tourist spots. The hotel is vibrant and has a good young vibe. We enjoyed the bountiful breakfast though we wished it would open up earlier possibly on week days from 8am to 7:30am or sooner. Room relatively clean and comfortable, though our room for 4 had a open bathroom concept for the shower so just be aware. A box of kleenex would be helpful as well. Overall, we would stay here again.

I think personally I preferred the GLO aesthetic more than all this brickwork and glass, but the hotel is clean and excellently located opposite Fazer and near the esplanade and station.

The breakfast buffet was well prepared and included a wide variety of dishes. The location is close to the shopping/dining area and only a few minutes walk from the cathedral.
