Great location, close to ferry wharf and across the road from a tram stop. Staff were so lovely, went above and beyond. Room was spacious and bed super comfy (blockout blinds were great). Artwork was a nice touch, made everything feel lively. Will stay again for sure.

No sauna on site; but there is uusi sauna two blocks away. Rooms were just right. Breakfast was delicious. Parking is off site. 25min walk to city centre, but there is a tram that takes you right there easily. Really enjoyed my stay here, the art is so fun to look at!

A really good hotel away from the busy streets. Easy access to the city centre and close to the sea. The breakfast is not huge since they moved it upstairs, but there's about everything you could need. I was happy with it.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

A very unique art-themed hotel. Rooms are individually designed but lacking a chair and table. The hotel is located in modern, up and coming (in a nice way) area. I would definitely stay again.

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed at Hotel AX July 23 2026 and checked out on July 29th! I thought from the moment this American checked in until the time we checked out the hotel staff was unbelievably helpful and kind! The room was so incredibly clean! The breakfast was top notch! It was nothing like we serve as a breakfast in the US! The only warning i will give is, if you're accustomed to AC or a cold hotel room, bring a fan (we're from Arizona so we need AC :)~ ). The front desk ladies found a fan for us and sleep was a much better. There's so much to see in this hotel that we were never bored. I legitimately have nothing negative to say about the cooking staff, cleaning staff, maintenance staff,front desk staff or anything. Transportation is directly in front of the hotel! The bar/restaurant is downstairs! I could go on and on but I think this hotel was the best option for my family!!! Oh, from the pictures the beds and pillows almost made me reconsider our stay but they were sooooo comfy! Side note... we didn't notice until the last 2 days but there's luggage storage under the beds! ;)

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
