I stayed here for two nights with my wife and daughter. I booked through AMEX Fine Hotels and Resorts, and booked into an Executive King with an extra bed for my daughter. When we checked in, were were given the AMEX benefits and told that we had been upgraded from the Executive Room to a Park View Executive Room. Big deal right? Actually, with that one little upgrade to a room with a view we also got access to the Upper Lounge. The Upper Lounge is open from 2:00 - 6:00 each day and offers wine, champagne and light snacks. It isn't like most hotel lounges with loud noises and TV's; it is refined and nice. We took advantage of it on both nights of our stay. The room was a recently renovated room and it was very nice, though admittedly I should have booked a larger room for the three of us. For two nights, it worked just fine. The room was nicely appointed and very comfortable. The bathroom was huge! A very large walk in shower, two sinks, bathtub, and a crapper. We stayed in May, which means there is like 20 minutes of night time; the blackout curtains worked great for us. The location of the hotel was good for us. My wife and daughter did some (not much, but some) shopping on the fancy street where the hotel is located. In the mornings I walked out to the park and down to the bay / port / whatever. When we went to Suomenlinna, it was an easy walk and we got some fresh, amazing strawberries for my daughter along the way. We ate breakfast both mornings in the breakfast restaurant. The staff was very attentive and the food was good. We had out choice of the buffet plus eggs prepared as ordered. I think there were some other items we could have ordered off the menu as well. My wife and I loved the things that were called Traditional Finnish Pancakes on the buffet. They seemed like a mix of a pancake, crepe and French toast; very good. We ate both our dinners in the hotel bar. The service was good and the food was good, though I ordered a beer before dinner one evening to take to the room and got the "...you can leave a tip if you want..." line that I noticed none of the locals got. Anyway. I had salmon soup both nights and it was very good; like great. The girls got chicken Caesar salads and fries both nights and those were good as well. The staff at the check in desk was great; incredibly professional and friendly. This was a real good stay in a nice hotel. We're thrilled with the experience and would definitely visit again (though I don't see us back in Helsinki). It is a well run hotel with good bones and nice on-site amenities.

This was a long awaited and wonderful weekend in Helsinki. Hotel Kamp is at the heart of Helsinki - walking distance to all the places we wanted to visit (Cathedrals, harbour, library, parliament, Sibelius Music School and the Sibelius Monument). Depite their being some upograding works during our visit - they didnt interupt our visit at all and were indeed largely invisible. We were really luck to have an upgrade and the room was roomy, gorgeous, bright and with the perfect bathroom! And always spotless thanks to the housekeeping team. Each and every staff member was warm, friendly, professioanl and so proud of the heritage of the hotel - making our experience even better. Teriffic bar tenders - make a great old fashioned! The excutive lounge provided a delightful and calm afternoon respite from the miles and miles of walking around the city.

“Lovely hotel”

Hotel Kamp is a beautifully restored historic hotel in an excellent location within walking distance of the main sights. The rooms was clean and spacious and the bar and restaurant were excellent, highly recommended. The staff were very helpful and charming. A wonderful place to stay.
