Solo Sokos Hotel Helsinki has quickly become my go-to hotel in the city.

• It’s stylish, modern, and super aesthetic, but still manages to feel cozy and welcoming, that perfect mix of design and comfort.

• The breakfast is a total highlight: huge selection, everything you could imagine, and all fresh and well-prepared.

• Location-wise, it couldn’t get better. Helsinki Cathedral is just a 2-minute walk away, the train station is super close, and all the main shopping streets, cafés, and attractions are within easy walking distance.

Even if you’re not staying there, the breakfast can be worth a stop if you book in advance. And also the bar is open for anyone!
