VALO Hotel & Work Helsinki

I'm a regular guest and truly love this place — the bright, airy spaces, the signature granola at breakfast, the calm vibe, and the perfect location: close to both the city and the airport, and just a short walk from the beautiful seaside trail for morning or evening strolls. That said, during this stay I was frequently woken up by loud door slams and unusual furniture movement from the neighboring room. The sounds were so strong they made the wall-mounted, transformer-style bed shake — especially during the night, which felt like a mini earthquake every time a door closed hard. While the staff responded kindly and professionally, the disturbances continued. It was a reminder that good hospitality is a shared experience — comfort depends not only on the service, but also on how respectfully guests treat the space and one another. (A respectful note for those managing this lovely hotel.) Perhaps adjusting the heavy door mechanisms for quieter closing, and sharing a gentle reminder about mindful noise during quiet hours, could make stays even more peaceful. Thank you again for everything you do to make this hotel feel good I always look forward to coming back.

Lovely hotel - comfortable room, great facilities. Bathroom and shower great and very clean. Rooftop terrace an added bonus, great for watching the sunset. 24h reception meant that check in and check out processes were efficient. Breakfast was excellent (I made the mistake of not including in the booking, but went along 3 times - they have a card machine to pay as you enter) - fantastic choice, all very tasty, and great selection of local produce. Easy to get to the city centre with a range of buses that leave from across the road to either Kamppi (regional and national coaches) or the train station. Never had to wait more than 2/3 minutes for a bus. Great base for exploring Helsinki and the wider region.

The hotel is extremely clean. The staff was very helpful with everything we needed. The breakfast has a huge selection of foods and drinks. Hotel has a online check in and a self service check in terminal which is in my opinion much better then waiting in line at the reception (although there is a 24h reception- I arrived at 02:00 am and had no problem checking in). A single bed was huge and comfortable. Absolutely would recommend.

Second time here. Really nice hotel, beautiful design and very comfortable. Yes it is not close tot the city centre but there’s lots of busses that only take 20 mins to take you there. Wellness area is very nice, good saunas and also really good to enjoy when it rains. Good beds and rooms are very silent! Next time in Helsinki I’m coming back again.

I only used the room, it was my first time at this hotel. I did not use any other facilities this time. I rested very well, the bed was very comfortable, the blackout curtains very good quality. Bus stop right in front of the hotel to go south to Helsinki center or to head north to one of the train stops from where the train took me to Vantaa Airport.
