Hotel Kamp

Wasn’t informed the hotel is under serious construction for at least another year Gym was a converted room with cables in the ceiling being concealed by wire mesh No spa Most of hotel under construction - almost better that they shut it to be honest A bit naughty for the money Avoid for now

We stayed here for one night on our way up to Lapland. As it was a Saturday night we weren’t disturbed by the renovation works. Our room (830) was very quiet and comfortable. The bathroom was spacious, with a well thought out layout and the bath tub was perfectly designed for me! The only little niggle was that there was no kettle in the room only a coffee maker. Very convenient location to walk to all central Helsinki tourist sights.

Pros Pre-stay communication with the front desk went well, and they replied the following day. The staff did follow my early check-in and late check-out request. The service during the stay was friendly and welcoming, both by the front desk staff and the restaurant personnel. The room and the bathroom felt luxurious, and the ESPA amenities were of high quality. In the room, there was also a welcome card, as well as a welcome gift. Both breakfast and dinner were of high quality, and the ambiance of the Notes by Kämp restaurant was lovely. Despite the ongoing renovations, Hotel Kämp still offers a high quality of accommodation, with all regards to the Leading Hotels of the World brand experience. Cons I didn’t experience any cons during my stay and would be delighted to return to Hotel Kämp this spring based on my experience!

Hotel Kamp is a very plush stay perfectly situated on Esplanadi Park, a short walking distance to everything. It's very attractive inside, the rooms, while fairly standard looking, were very comfortable, and the in-house sauna was very nice. That, as well as their friendly and helpful staff, were the high points and more than enough to get me back. Sadly, their highly acclaimed cocktail bar was closed for renovations -- and the exterior facade was covered in scaffolding -- and that had been a big draw for me over other good-looking hotels nearby. If the bar is open, stay here. If not, you might consider something else.

Be aware that the Hotel is undergoing very significant remodeling/reconstruction and the noise from the work is very, very loud during the day, 8-5pm. While we were there (2nd week of Jan), the drilling and hammering was so loud, we could not stay in the room. The hotel moved us once, but you simply cannot escape the din created by the construction. We were on the sixth floor. Neither the hotel website nor our tour operator gave us any warning of the noise/disruption. You draw your own conclusions about that fact. So now you know.
