With plenty of museums, historic and elegant churches and charming cafés, Helsinki is a capital city with a lovely small-town feel. It also has a very modern side, with a mix of both eclectic and minimalist design in the shops, restaurants, and hotels.
But we’ll be upfront — Helsinki isn’t known to be a budget destination, and it can be tough to score a good deal on hotels here.
Read on to discover where Cheapos stay on a trip to Helsinki.
The top budget hotels in Helsinki
We’ve chosen our favorite Helsinki hotels with some flair, fun perks and friendly service that are more affordable than most accommodations in the city. Remember, Helsinki is expensive. These prices may seem high, but they are actually a good deal for the city.
We love the modern look of the rooms at Omena Hotel.

Near art museums, a swimming hall, restaurants, and the city’s Central Station, the Omena Hotel offers comfortable accommodations for Cheapos looking to be in the middle of the action. Rooms include flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, microwaves and private baths. Learn more
Hotelli Finn has been recently renovated for a smart and contemporary look.
Hotelli Finn
Neighborhood: The Center
Doubles from $114
Sweet, chic, and simple, the Hotelli Finn offers rooms with a dose of modern charm in an excellent location. Many of the rooms are en-suite, but if you’d like to save a bit more money, opt for a room with a shared shower (you’ll still have a private toilet). Learn more
You can’t leave Helsinki without relaxing in a Finnish sauna like the one at Hotel Arthur.
Hotel Arthur

The Hotel Arthur feels indulgent, with Finnish saunas, a filling (and free!) breakfast and stylish rooms, without costing an arm and a leg. Some rooms even include “rainbow showers” with color-changing water. Fancy! Learn more
Rooms are grand but the price can be right if you book ahead at Scandic Grand Marina.
