No problem! Forgot to mention another favorite in Helsinki, http://chefetsommelier.fi/ . This is a cozy small restaurant with big aspirations, also by tram route 3B/3T. Otherwise a 20 minute walk from Kämp.
You should stay for a bit longer in Helsinki to try all these restaurants ;) Unfortunately my travel plans only allow me one day in Helsinki. I have a flight to FRA early the next day. However it looks like I can have a very nice lunch and dinner! |
The hotel is nice, but every time I stay there the staff is not friendly at all. And this is true for all areas (check-in, restaurant, service desk for conferences, etc.).

I'm guessing a complimentary breakfast for Plats is not offered at this hotel?
I know it's not a stated Plat benefit, but there are many hotels that do offer it - therefore I at least wanted to ask the question (though I believe I know the answer...) Thanks, Bostonbali |

Thanks, Bostonbali Options are to book a rate which includes breakfast, or pay the supplement (which is normally ~30 EUR in any decent hotel in Europe). |
But with the location of this hotel, I'd just go and explore the city. I recall a yummy cake shop / cafe just a few shop windows down from the hotel.

In Europe, very few hotels offer complimentary breakfast, and certainly not because of a membership with SPG.

For Starwood properties, that's true. However, for most other hotel chains in Scandinavia+Finland that have properties in more than one country, many -- maybe even most -- properties do offer complimentary breakfast.
Sometimes a booking service will include breakfast as an added-value bonus. For example, a while back, a hotel in Stuttgart (not LeMeridien) was offering a room at €227 without breakfast, €245 with breakfast. Leading Hotels had the same two rates. However, HRS.de had the same room at €227 with the breakfast included (not too hard to figure out which one I booked) :) As for the Kämp, maybe a better benchmark would be to consider whether most Luxury Collection properties include breakfast (and to narrow it down even further, consider whether LC properties in Europe include/don't include). |
Most LC properties in Europe that I've stayed at, do not include breakfast.
My stay at the Kämp recently was fantastic. A C&P redemption for 2 nights, was upgraded to a Junior Park View Suite. Spent more money at the bar (fantastic selection and bartenders) than the cash portion of the room rate :) It was snowing. I was lazy. |
Hello. Looks like I will be in HEL very soon. From HEL to the Kamp? Finnair bus to central station then taxi? Any other info appreciated. Thanks.
|
Take a shared taxi, costs about 25 Euros. Booths are on the right hand side of the exit if you are arriving on Blue1/SAS..
Regular taxis should cost between 40 - 50 euro. |
Thank you. I arrive on LH. Which way would I break then? Thanks.
|
I haven't been there for a while, but there used to be a shuttle bus/van. It was costing around the same as the 'shared taxi'. Maybe leo-chan was referring to the same thing.
|
Here now - executive room upgrade - no non smoking suites. We are fine as it's a short stay. Fantastic cafe Fazer across the way for breakfast and very close to big food market. Would stay here again - maybe next month.
