Hotel Rantapuisto

A great hotel close to the beach and woodland walks. The rooms are clean and spacious. Breakfast was varied and plentiful, and delicious! An hourly bus to Vuossori metro station makes moving around extremely easy.

Great staff, great location in the woods and by the lake, wonderful scenery and sauna plus clean rooms!

I loved everything about staying here, it was a remarkable experience and I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with staff including those at the nearby restaurant that offers amazing breakfasts. Especially those scrambled eggs, I could eat those every morning for the rest of my life. And the beeswax honey, straight from their terrain. If I had any complaints at all it would be: 1. That I would appreciate if the doors could have slow-close hinges as several tourists would slam their doors and I could feel it in my room. 2. Maybe better soundproofing, or a big friendly sign that tells tourists to please respect others and keep their children quiet inside the hotel as others may be trying to enjoy their vacations as well. Worth a try at least? 3. Perhaps a service to dry our clothes for those who stay longer than a night. I am quite used to hand-washing my clothing but it was a bit weird ironing the moisture out of them before hang-drying overnight to have dry clothes. It could maybe bring more revenue to the hotel, even.

But date but lovely and peaceful

Everything was in order

The room was not cleaned every day

Great location. Property is a little tired, but pleasant. I liked how the building’s architecture fits with surrounding nature. That said, some abandoned construction on site spoils the view a bit. The room was pretty hot probably due to poor insulation and lack of proper ventilation. We had to run a/c all night in order to stay cool. I would’ve preferred to open the window. We tried to open small vents on the sides of the window, but it didn’t help much. The view however was magnificent. Breakfast was very nice with some traditional dishes along with typical breakfast buffet.

Location next to water. Food was excellent!!!

Nice Nordic architure in a beautiful setting.If you want a quiet stay this is the place.

I love it the reception staff is very helpful and clean hotel

Beautiful location, excellent service!

We would liken this establishment to a lady wearing a big fancy hat but no underwear ! Yes the "hotel" is surrounded by trees, yes the "hotel" is on the seafront ! When we did eventually get to our room , it was fine, however not particularly clean ! The "hotel" does not have a bar! but serves a low grade pump beer, craft beers and glasses of wine over the reception desk at hugely inflated prices. Upon checking in the the "hotel" guests are expected to wait in the queue behind those ordering drinks! Our room was sold to us on the basis that it has a restaurant. Yes we will concede it does have one but was closed on the night of out stay due to it being booked for a function without even the slightest hint of an apology. A limited menu of 4 main courses was offered to us unfortunate ones, again at very high prices which we were expected to eat in the lounge area at a coffee table! We refused on principle even though we had driven all day without eating more than a snack and were to tired to make another car journey to eat. In an attempt to be fair, we must say that breakfast was fine and that during out travels through Finland we found the attitude towards food to be that of functionality not pleasure. It is a belief that the Finish people are amongst the happiest in Europe, if so, we do ask ourselves is that because they have rather low life expectations.

The hotel was excellent. Breakfast buffet had an assortment of delicious hot and cold selections. The hotel has bicycles for guests, and guests can also use a gym that is steps away from the front door. There’s a room with a small refrigerator, microwave, and iron for guest use. We booked a standard room, which was small, but it was functional and had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay (for example, coffee and tea in the room, large screen tv.) There are spacious areas for lounging near the reception desk, indoor and outside, with walking trails around the hotel. A public bus stops right at the hotel and can take guests to the metro stop. With all of these amenities, we would stay here again.

Hotel in forested area. Convenient to transport.

Lived the apartment style room. Beautiful location and great restaurant! The spa and sauna were not what I expected but they share with an outside company.

We loved staying at Hotel Rantapuisto! Only a short trip from central Helsinki the hotel is surrounded with beautiful nature and it was quite special to spend some time here. Getting to the hotel without a car seemed a little bit tricky but it was not bad even with luggage and it is definitely worth the trip. We rode around the area with bikes on the recommended seaside route and it was amazing. The only disappointment was that the sauna was under construction but that was just our bad luck.

Unique location. Like out of the city. Wood and lake. And they have parking.

Lovely place and staff are very friendly. Would be nice to come back in the summer

Love the location and surrounding area. Hotel rooms and facilities great and good value. Spot on choice!

I was in an apartment. There was no Wi-Fi access there, so I had to go to the main building for it. Great breakfast, free parking. Lovely views from the restaurant.
