“Marski By Scandic sits right in the heart of Helsinki, and what struck me most was its dedication to wellness, from the daily saunas to the in-room private options. The hotel seems to blend Finnish culinary experiences with modern comforts; I appreciate that they haven't overlooked the need for flexible meeting spaces. That breakfast, served until noon on weekends, sounds like a particularly welcome indulgence after exploring the city.”

rough towels empty minibar

I was a bit annoyed with a couple of things. first, the towels felt rather rough (not what i expect from this kind of hotel). also, the minibar was completely empty upon arrival, and i had to call to request it be stocked. This took several hours, inconvenient (especially after a long day of travel). it would have been better if these things were checked beforehand.

Acceptable Location, Notable Shortcomings

flooded bathroom floor difficult air conditioning

The hotel had a great location in the city center, made getting around easy.

The room I booked was not what I expected. The bathroom floor always flooded after showering because of poor design. the air conditioning was difficult to adjust. I could only change it by two degrees.
