More about this place
Hotel Helka offers a Finnish-design stay with sauna facilities and a history connected to the YWCA. Room sizes vary from compact singles to larger categories. A rebrand to ibis Styles is announced for autumn 2027, so recheck future-date identity.
Finnish design furniture, breakfast service and a guest sauna give this central hotel a clear local character. Compact single rooms differ substantially from larger doubles and selected rooms with a private sauna. Choose the exact category for the space and facilities you need, and reserve paid monitored parking separately if you are bringing a car.
