We stayed over Christmas and loved the hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel was immaculate, quiet and cosy. We slept so well, the beds are very comfortable. We could walk to anywhere in Helsinki from this central location. There are many modern artworks in the hotel which are stunning.

The breakfast buffet suited our family of two adults and two teenagers (including one vegetarian ) perfectly – we could each have exactly what we wanted. This hotel is expensive, but worth it.

Hotel St. George is still newish hotel that perfectly combines boutique and luxury in a perfect way. Hotel is built to an old building yet honoring many classic features of the old building and at the same time bringing stylish & modern twist. The location is ideal: literally a stone throw from city center and by a relaxing park. The staff at the reception was friendly and professional.

Our rooms was an Atelier room with balcony overlooking the park & old church. The room was very not only spacious, but also cozy, stylishly decorated and yet functional. As we stayed in the early August, we ordered room service breakfast (which was sumptuous and delivered by a lovely lady), and enjoyed that outside in our private balcony.

What a perfect start of a sunny day! All in all, truly high class hotel offering high price value. Everything worked out very well and we really enjoyed our stay. Strongly recommended.

his hotel was in the perfect location to explore the city centre of Helsinki. 5 minutes to the Christmas Market, train station, Ice Skating Rink, Shopping Centre, and Harbour. You couldn’t ask for a better spot.

The hotel itself had quite modern rooms. We were a family of 4, the first time the children shared a single bed, the second visit there was a single bed and rollaway assembled for them. The room can get quite hot. Great breakfast downstairs, a good mix of sweet and savoury – just a help yourself buffet.

The IPAD Drink dispenser, certainly a novelty for the children. Polite, helpful staff, that stored our luggage for us as we went on a journey for 5 days before returning. Plenty of storage in the rooms for your luggage and coats all out of the way.

The toilet is separate from the main bathroom which always handy. A great spot to explore the beautifully lit city for Christmas.

This is a really cute hotel in downtown Helsinki.

There was a fabulous Christmas market just 200 meters away.

 

Great central location with a couple of the well known Christmas markets (including in Senate Square) only 5-10 minutes walk away.

Very well situated to walk around Helsinki, even during the cold wintery months.
The breakfast spread had a great variety, however if you wanted a good coffee (not instant / out of an urn) you did have to pay extra.

The still water in the rooms is also not complimentary, so keep that in mind as I’m very used to water being free in hotel rooms but this is not the case at GLO (I’m not sure if that’s common throughout Finland or not).

Breakfast was beautifully served out and very gourmet.
Room was cozy.
There is a nice bar on the ground floor with street view.

You cannot beat this hotel for location. It is within walking distance to the Esplanade, the Helsinki Museum, the Christmas markets, the main train station, the ice skating rink and countless shops and restaurants.
