Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 3 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Hotel St. George Helsinki is a city hotel for travellers who want design, art and a proper spa within a few minutes of the Central Station. The 1840s building sits beside the Old Church Park, and guests praise rooms that are bright and stylish, with very comfortable beds and marble bathrooms. Breakfast and the on-site bakery win many fans, Boon Nam adds Thai cooking, and the spa, with its pool, saunas and cold plunge pool, is often described as the most relaxing part of the stay. Reception staff are remembered for going out of their way. The weaker points are practical. The pool is small and the spa can feel busy at peak times, some rooms lack storage, a kettle or a desk, and courtyard rooms on the lower floors have little view. Couples and city breakers who value style and wellness will be well looked after; business travellers who need a workspace may want to ask before booking.
Guests score it 8.8 out of 10 — the average across the 12 hotels we list in Helsinki is 9.1.
What Guests Loved
- Guests rate the location as one of the best things about the stay: the Central Station, the waterfront and the main shopping streets are all within walking distance, and rooms facing the park have a green outlook.
- Reviewers describe the rooms as bright, very clean and stylish, with very comfortable beds and excellent marble bathrooms; suites with a balcony over the park are singled out.
Things to Consider
- The pool is fairly small, and several guests found the pool, sauna and hammam busy at times despite the booking system, with the reception also crowded at peak hours.
- Some guests missed storage space, a kettle or a desk to work at, and a few ran into small technical glitches with the TV or the room safe.
Should you book it?
Hotel St. George Helsinki is worth booking for couples who want design, art and a spa in central Helsinki — but pick somewhere else if you need a desk and lots of storage for a work trip.
