Looking for a place to stay in Helsinki that leaves you with money to spare for everything else?<\/p>\n
We Finns often say that travelling in our own country is expensive \u2013 some even claim it\u2019s cheaper to go abroad. But here\u2019s some good news: Helsinki has some of the most affordable hotel stays in Finland, offering the best value for money. A wide selection keeps prices low, and there\u2019s always a good deal somewhere \u2013 you just have to find it.<\/p>\n
Over the past five years, several new budget hotels have opened in the city, without compromising on quality. Lower prices are largely thanks to the growing popularity of self-service models. In some hotels, reception staff are only available for limited hours \u2013 or not at all. Daily cleaning and breakfast are usually not included in the price.<\/p>\n
Sometimes the best deals appear when you book well in advance; other times, prices drop at the last minute. You can compare rates on booking sites, but always check what offers are available directly through the hotel.<\/p>\n
Where to find affordable accommodation in Helsinki<\/p>\n
Budget hotels in Helsinki tend to be located just outside the very centre, but still well connected by public transport. The inner city and metro line areas offer plenty of reasonably priced stays. Hakaniemi and Katajanokka, for instance, are great neighbourhoods for affordable hotels just a short distance from downtown.<\/p>\n
How we made this list<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve rounded up ten hotels that we can confidently recommend to budget travellers \u2013 all personally checked and approved by us.<\/p>\n
So what exactly counts as a budget hotel? Everyone has their own view, but in Helsinki, we\u2019d say it\u2019s anywhere you can find a room for under \u20ac100. Prices vary depending on the season, major events and the day of the week.<\/p>\n
