    minor inconvenience

    The charming lobby with its stylish decor felt like stepping into an art gallery, making it a cozy retreat. The accessible layout ensured I could comfortably navigate, enhancing my stay immensely.

    A coat rack near the entrance would be helpful.

    relaxing sauna
    room cleanliness
    mattress discomfort

    I loved the cozy atmosphere at Hotel Helka. The stylish decor throughout made me feel right at home. Breakfast options amazed me daily, with a variety catering to different diets. Friendly staff greeted me with a smile, always ready to help. I enjoyed the sauna several times. it was a great way to unwind. However, the cleanliness of my room could have been better. I noticed some dust and a bit of mold in the shower area, which wasn't pleasant. The mattress felt quite firm for my liking, making it hard to get a good night's sleep. Overall, I had a fantastic stay but would appreciate better room maintenance.

    cozy atmosphere
    small room
    missing coat rack

    Had a cozy stay in the Standard Single Room. The bed was super comfy, which made for a great night's sleep. I liked the stylish decor, and the ceiling painting added a nice touch. However, a coat rack near the entrance would have been helpful. The room felt inviting, but it was a bit small for my liking. Overall, a pleasant space, though it's on the smaller side.

    private sauna
    dietary-friendly breakfast

    I’d recommend it for solo travelers

    What struck me most was the sauna—super private, with separate rooms for men and women. Also, the breakfast was top-notch. they had dietary-friendly options like gluten-free breads and vegan cheese, really impressed me!

    Wasn't exactly budget-friendly, but honestly, worth it.

    Nice stay with friendly vibes

    We had a cozy time here! The staff was super nice, always ready to help. Loved the room decor, it had a nice vibe. The breakfast was pretty solid, some tasty options but wish there were more meats. My only issue was that the room needed a better clean. the coffee mugs weren’t spotless, yikes! Overall, a good place to kick back.
