The room was clean, warm, large enough and with all what you need. The breakfast was also very good and varied and served in a nicely decorated room. The staff was extremely kind and helpful. The location is perfect to visit the city being close to the center and very well served by the public transport. There are also several restaurants at walking distance, both luxury and cheap ones, for all tastes. We also appreciated the sauna.
We would have appreciated to have an electric socket on both sides of the double bed, not only on the right side. Also, we would have appreciated to have a switch for the main light on both sides of the bed, not only on the left. But it is of course minor failures.

Very soft mattress in both beds (we had a twin room).

The only great thing about this hotel is the location, the city centre is only a short walk away or a few stops with the tram.
The pillows were very uncomfortable and the duvet was dirty with spots all over, seems like only the covers were washed.
The walls of the hotel room sounded like they were paper thin, whenever people were going in and out of their rooms it was so loud it almost sounded like they were going into mine. Not fun as a solo traveller.
The air con wasn’t too great, you could only turn down the temperature a few degrees, so I’m glad I wasn’t there during the summer!
The included breakfast was very disappointing, so I ended up buying breakfast at the grocery store instead, thankfully the room comes with an empty minibar, although it wasn’t very cold.

The staff is very friendly and the location is very good. You can reach all attractions in a short time. The breakfast is phenomenal and the staff there are incredibly professional too. I was surprised at how great the breakfast is. There was even gluten-free and regular korvapuusti and karjalanpiirakkaa and many, many other Finnish specialties. Also many types of eggs, quark, vegetables, fruit... Very, very great. If you want to have a Finnish breakfast, book this hotel. There was even an extra section with gluten-free products. My room was very quiet and clean. The facilities were better than in the photos. I felt very comfortable here and would recommend Hotel Albert.
There was a sauna, but it had very poor opening hours for women. If you want to see something of the city and don't come until the late afternoon, it's already too late. In the evening the sauna was open to men. So unfortunately I couldn't go to the sauna and was a bit disappointed.

Great location and comfortable bedroom .
It is only about ten-minute walk to the city centre and a fifteen-minute walk to the central station.
The bed was really comfortable and the temperature of the bedroom could be modified to one's own preferences. And you get a mini fridge to keep beverages and/or food.
The shower was a bit old and small but nevertheless clean

The staff was nice. And location was ok- walking distance to main attractions and west harbour.
I was expecting higher standard from 4-star hotel. Room was pure, with old furniture like in 80s, very small, with only one hard chair to sit. And it wasn’t very clean ( dust everywhere). Hotel stinks like a very old place which is not refresh with any fresh air, well our windows were blocked from opening so our room for sure didn’t experience any fresh air for a long time.

Was in town for a couple of days for the dream theater concert over in Espoo visiting from Scotland. This hotel was the best value I could find in Downtown Helsinki. Great transport links and free breakfast too. Bed comfortable. No complaints.
Room was a bit hot for my tastes on Initial entry for me as I'm used to an old badly insulated flat in Scotland set to 19 degrees c but after adjusting the thermostat it was fine lol.

The breakfast is very nice, has a lot of variety and quality is very good. The floor of the bathroom is heated, which makes it very confortable. The hotel is located in downtown Helsinki, next to many restaurants. The employees were very nice and available for everything that we needed.
You have to request for cleaning or else they don’t do it, which is unusual. I also personally felt that the room was a bit cold, and the temperature can’t be regulated. This is probably mandatory for them, but the bathroom (due to the heated floor) ended up being warmer than the room.

Good location, close to the city, docks and public transport. Good restaurants nearby. Amazing breakfast and very pleasant stuff. The sauna was also nice and very often not that busy when we went. The only issue was that beds were not too comfortable, which for a couple of days stay was fine but might not be great for a longer duration.

Excellent location. Walkable to metro and trams. I love the breakfasts selections and all the staff are polite always ready to assist especially to Marianna at the reception. She explained everything that I need to know with transportation. She have the smile and laugh that can make your day better. And the guy who checked us in I forgot the name but he's definitely helpful until our check out time where he lend us the weighing scale for our luggage a life saver??? Kudos to everyone! I would definitely recommend Original Sokos Hotel Albert! Will comeback for our summer vacation ?
I think gym would be nice for a four star hotel. But nonetheless everything is perfect. Thank youuuuu.
