Great Stay at the Helsinki Airport Hilton

The hotel is a short walk from the airport - 5 mins max and easy to find and pull a roller bag too!  My check in was quick and all the facilities explained to me.  I had been upgraded to an Executive King room which I had selected prior to arrival.  The foyer is really funky - with fireplaces and faux silver birch tree - all very ‘Finnish’ and entirely appropriate!

My first impression of the room was cozy - not in a small way but welcoming way!  The view was sort of airport view -more car park than airport but I was only there to sleep!  The bed was really comfy for a Hilton and had plug sockets by the bed.  The bathroom was large and had a separate shower and bath - and in the morning I found the floor was heated which was a nice surprise!  The shower is not the strongest and there was the usual Peter Thomas Roth amenities.  

Over all I thought the room was very nice, it was certainly quiet!

The service thoroughout was great - although to be honest I only dealt with 1 lady thoroughout!  The smae lady who checked me in was the lounge lady too!! 

I only ate evening snacks in the lounge and thought there were of good quality but slightly limited - luckily I was not too hungry.  The lounge hours were breakfast 7am-10am, afternoon coffee & tea 11am-6pm and then evening apitizers 6pm-8pm with drinks carrying on until 10pm.

The white wine served was of great quality, and there was also red plus spirits.  The 2 hot options on the night I stayed were meatballs (which were really nice) and some puff pasty things.  There was also some salad and a cheese plate.  Not enough to make an evening meal out of but enough to stave off hunger if required.

The view from the lounge is an airport view although there was not much going on when I was there - I think it may be on the wrong side to see much but it is nice.  The lounge also was quite quiet when I stayed - very unusual for a Hilton airport Executive Lounge and I was pleasantly surprised.

The hotel is right next to the airport - literally 5 mins walk via an under covered walk walk.  That said it is not heated so if doing it in the winter make sure you are dressed appripriately.  It is well signposted too so easy to find.

Overall I was really impressed with this airport - it can be quite pricey but I definitely think it is worth considering if looking for an airport hotel.  The staff were friendly - the lounge was nice and quiet, with great wines and the bed was pretty comfy for a Hilton!  With a quick walk to the airport, I think this ticks all the boxes for an airport hotel, in fact I think it is one of the better ones that I have stayed at!
