Comfort Hotel® Xpress Helsinki Airport Terminal

Excellent place to stay for one night, but although we were aware there was a lack of windows, it did feel a little odd. Sadly due to our late arrival, due to flights, there was only one place open to get a meal outside the hotel, but the supermarket was open. The welcoming staff were excellent both on our arrival, and when we left the following morning for our next flight from the departure halls just round the corner.

The hotel was difficult to find althought it is located inside the airport, located underground and no windows . The room was small and compact, not too much space with big luggages. Good place to stay if you have early morning flight to catch, literally 2min away from check in.

I thought this was a good idea to take a RestPod for the maximum 7 hours for the night before my flight so I wouldn’t have to stress about waking up really early to take into account the half hour taxi ride etc. And I still think it was a good idea but this option needs some improvements for me to choose this option again. The pros: - the maximum time of seven hours was enough and good for an early flight. I was able to drop off my suitcases before 9.30 in the evening (since I was taking a Finnair flight) and then have an evening snack before going to the pod - the location was good (only a few minutes walk from bag drop and right next to the restaurants that were open late) and easy to find - checking in was very easy since you get the number of your room and the PIN code in your email 15 min before your reservation. Everything was smooth in getting in the pod. - the pod looked nice inside and the surroundings were quiet. The glass wall converted to blur out any visuals into the pod. The cons: - my major complaint would be the temperature which was way too hot even for someone who likes a warm room. The pod felt very stuffy from the start and it didn’t really improve even though the fan was set on high. This really needs to be fixed. - another larger complaint is the light that comes in through the glass. It wasn’t super bright but enough to disturb sleep. So luckily I had brought my eye mask. This could easily be fixed by adding some kind of dark curtain to be pulled in front of it. - and even though the provided sheets, blankets and pillow were pretty comfortable, the actual bed/couch was too hard. - the bathrooms were a small walk away which I knew and was basically ok but they weren’t really catered to people sleeping there (somewhat complicated to brush teeth and take care of any other refreshing or putting on or washing off makeup) - the pod had no instructions on how to use the window blurring function or where the bathrooms are or any other info on the services. That could be added to make it easier to know where everything is.

KERT at reception is a Prince and provided a very happy memory of my time in Helsinki by going out of his way to spoil me. Thank you Kert! The hotel is a perfect location, quiet and good value with comfortable bed. It is my second trip and I hope to return.

Extremely convenient for a night at the airport. More silent that one would expect for an airport. I loved the warm floor in the bathroom. No doubt I will book again if I have another night stopover in Helsinki (which is likely in the flights to Asia). No cheap, but save the hazard of having to leave the terminal bulding.
