    personalized service
    extra costs
    small food portions

    The hotel staff provided really good personalized service.

    The amenities came with unexpected extra costs. Using the spa was limited to just 1 hour and 30 minutes. I was disappointed by the small portion sizes of the food for the high prices. It was annoying to spend so much and not feel satisfied with the dining experience.

    I loved that the hotel was a short walk from the beautiful helsinki cathedral and just a few steps to the bustling market square. It really enhanced my weekend getaway experience.

    genuine hospitality
    luxurious room

    Highly recommend it for couples!

    I must say the experience was Amazing! The room was not just spacious but had a sauna right in the shower, such a unique touch, you know? Plus, they treated us like we were royalty when we walked into the Garden Terrace restaurant. I mean, it's rare to find such genuine hospitality, Bryan and team really made it special.

    It was pricey, but worth every penny.

    luxurious room
    great spa
    extra charge

    The room was massive with an awesome iPad system to play music and control the lights. They left us chocolates to celebrate my partner's birthday! We enjoyed the spa's relaxing treatments and spent some time in the sauna, which was just heavenly. The only downside was that using the spa came with an extra charge, so be prepared for that. 😊

    unique aesthetics
    technological innovations
    high prices
    spa limitations
    dining disappointments

    The Maria Hotel features fine decor with beautiful sculptures and calming aesthetics throughout its modern spaces. The staff treated me like I was royalty from the very first moment. I left for my room and couldn't help but notice the luxurious touches, especially the iPad system to control music and lights. The chocolates left for my partner's birthday added a special touch. The spa experience was heavenly, but I was frustrated that spa access came at an additional charge and had time restrictions, limiting us to just 1 hour and 30 minutes. This felt too restricting for such a luxurious setting. I found the restaurant's food portions quite small considering the prices, made dining there a bit disappointing. I expected a little more from the breakfast options as well. The atmosphere was lovely, and the staff in the Garden Terrace Restaurant provided great service. The kind words and assistance from Bryan really stood out . The silence in the upscale neighborhood was good, but navigating the hotel's layout took some getting used to, given it comprises several buildings connected by courtyards. This hotel ranks high on my list for luxury accommodations in Helsinki, but keeping the extra costs in mind is essential to ensure everything aligns with expectations.

    junior spa suite
    luxurious sauna

    Luxurious, Luxurious, Luxurious

    I reminded me of royalty in my Junior Spa Suite with a sauna in the shower, an very nice touch of relaxation 🌟 The iPad controls for music and lighting made everything so modern and convenient, transforming it into a tech-savvy paradise. Plus, the staff goes above and beyond, like a thoughtful birthday surprise of chocolates waiting for us. Talk about attention to detail!

    Strongly recommend ❤️❤️
