GLO Hotel Kluuvi

Really nice hotel with great rooms, friendly staff and good food in the middle of the city Centre of Helsinki. Really good place to stay. Ingas a quite room facing the courtyard, good size, well equipped. Breakfast is really good and staff super friendly

I have always liked GLO Hotels because of their slightly better quality impression and small nice details. But the new hotel in Kluuvi was a real disappointment. There has been little attempt at Kluuvi to cover up the marks of the previous owner and that something has been forgotten? The chain has landed at this hotel to the same level of quality as other large hotel chains. Really a shame. The best thing is the central location of the place. Sure the bed was good, breakfast normal but nothing else.

Extremely convenient location near restaurants cafes central train station. Walking distance (less than 10 minutes) to market square, ferry terminal to suomenlinna, cathedral, esplanade. Beautifully decorated rooms, especially the marimekko room. Did not manage to visit the gym or spa during this short visit but the facility is part of the Hotel Lamp Breakfast spread was good. Note that you have to book a half hour slot for breakfast. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room service items were also delicious.

The location is great! The rest isn't. Stayed here a few times long time ago when on short business trips. We chose it this time for a long weekend stay primarily due to location, and thinking it would be more hip and nice than a cheaper Scandic or Sokos. Since GLO price themselves a bit above average, it's also rated as such. Breakfast is OK, almost on par with Sokos or Scandic. TV-channels same basic channels as on all the others. Good thing that you can connect your own iPad t the TV if you want. The rooms are small. You have to up-grade two steps to get a reasonably sizeable room, and I'd recommend to ask for a higher floor, since you get rooms facing the inside you have to be on floor five or higher, otherwise you'll have the roof covering the courtyard at your windowsill. You can not open your windows, so you'll be dependent on aircon and termostat. We could live with that corridors and rooms are a bit worn down, but the worst thing during our stay was the extremely poor cleaning. When coming into the room after housekeeping had "cleaned the room" we found that only bedcovers had been straightened, and a towel had been changed. Garbage cans were not emptied, glasses not cleaned etc. The floor was not cleaned and hadn't been cleaned for some time. Same for the wardrobe, where neither a vacuum cleaner nor a brush had been for at least a few week. Cups were dirty, and the desk had staines, and some sticky stuff on front and legs. Hence, this was not the result of one poor cleaning, but a clear sign that basic things like regular cleaning isn't done in an OK way. Since the problems were so grave we talked to the reception. They did a good job in finding us another, cleaner room, which was appreciated, and also was the only solution since house keeping had left for the day at 5pm on a Sunday.

So glad I chose this hotel.... Its connected to the Kamp hotel and they share a Spa, but this was much more my style. Beds were so comfortable, great breakfast and cocktails (not at the same time) Need to do some research as it had the feel of an old bank... Definitely recommend
