Hotel Fabian

What a lovely place to stay. Hotel Fabian was our base to explore Helsinki for 3 days and we could not have wished for a better place to be. The team at the hotel are really welcoming and so helpful. They have loads of suggestions for places to eat during an public holiday when we struggled to find places open. They helped us to find shops to replace items that the airline lost when they lost our luggage and were generally just brilliant. The hotel itself is in the middle of everything so we were able to walk most places and even took on our first scooter experience to head further out. The rooms are beautiful, spacious and really comfortable. We would definitely stop again when we return to Helsinki.

I stayed for three nights over the Easter weekend. Check in was very smooth, and the receptionist was extremely helpful. The room was compact but very clean and comfortable, with a good sized safe which came with a built-in socket for charging devices. The courtyard - facing room was extremely quiet and well - insulated, and allowed in a lot of light even on an early spring day. Buffet breakfast was excellent, with a good spread of continental breakfast items as well as Finnish specialities such as Karelian pasties. The hotel was an excellent base for exploring Helsinki on foot, due to its central location. It certainly deserves another visit!

We had a Lux room and it was beautiful! Just perfect for us, there was a lot of room. The bed was HUGE! And we had our own Nespresso at the room. The breakfast was excellent and the staff was friendly. The only thing what could have been better was the shower. To have that luxurious room but still only a shower head with poor water pressure was a shame. I was longing for a rain shower that would have been perfect!

My wife and I stayed at the Fabian (March 2022) for a long weekend. The hotel staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. The room was spotless and cleaned thoroughly every day. Beds comfortable and a good breakfast with a wide selection of food and drinks. It was our first visit since the Covid pandemic. The hotel is well situated for easy pedestrian access to the city and shops. So much so we could return during the day to drop our shopping off in our room. Highly recommended.

This 58-room boutique hotel with stylish decor is centrally located near Market Square. This was our third stay at this hotel. Now we booked the least expensive Comfort room from the Black Friday sale for 100 euros. The rate was flexible until one week before arrival and included breakfast. I am a Nordic Choice Platinum member and this hotel belongs to that hotel chain as part of Kämp Collection Hotels. Until one week before our arrival, we had got a two-category upgrade to the best Lux room but on the arrival week, we were downgraded to the Style category which is the middle category between Comfort and Lux. During check-in, I asked why the downgrade was made. The friendly receptionist told us that the Style room we have been assigned is better and bigger than the available Lux rooms. Style rooms are 22-39 sqm and Lux rooms 22-45 sqm. The biggest difference in Lux rooms is the kitchenette that Styles rooms don't have. Now we got room #606 which was much better than the Style room #604 that we had last time. The biggest problem in these top-floor rooms is the vaulted ceiling. My partner had only one hit to his head while rising up from the chair. On our first stay, we probably got the best Lux room #412. This Style room was quite far from that. This time I am giving 5 stars because our stay had excellent value for money. The normal price for the Style room would have been 209 euros. I also got a 13-euros Platinum voucher that could be used for the minibar except for alcohol.
