I had a great stay at Hotel AX during my visit to Helsinki. The hotel was clean, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast buffet was delicious with plenty of options to choose from. One thing I really appreciated was the location. There is a tram stop right in front of the hotel, making it easy to get around the city. It was also conveniently located less than 10 minutes from the ferry terminal, which made my trip to Tallinn very easy and stress-free. Overall, I found Hotel AX to be comfortable, convenient, and a great value. Between the friendly service, excellent breakfast, and easy access to both public transportation and the Tallinn ferry terminal, I would definitely consider staying here again on a future trip to Helsinki.

Very nice hotel and super friendly easy-going staff - they helped us handle cake delivery and kindly stored it in the fridge (no fridges in the rooms), even gave us nice cake cutter without demand :) Excellent breakfast with a variety of hot and cold dishes, fruits and pastry. Cool design and internal areas. Convenient location

Great property, lovely bar and hangout area Lacks places to out your stuff, even a small dresser would help. While compact we have stayed here for business twice because of the great art, warm environment and a lobby bar. The location is good depending on what you’re doing in Helsinki, we find it mostly walkable and easy to get around

The hotel is really outstanding and good reachable with the public transport. The staffs are super friendly, everything is clean and you can rest very well. You aren't that far from the main station. It was my second stay, last year I also already stayed at this hotel and if you wanna do a day trip to Tallinn the hotel is nearby by the port.
