For the time being we are open from Thursday noon to Sunday noon
due to the current corona situation, we are closing the doors of our hotel until further notice on March 27, 2020. We want to further prevent the spread of infections and take even better care of each other. In addition, the demand in the tourism industry has fallen radically and has temporarily deprived us of the operating conditions.
We hope we can open our doors again soon – we'll keep you posted on our channels, so stay tuned!
Reservations to the future can be made normally here on our website www.hotelhelka.com.
We can't wait to see you again! Let's take care of each other! 💕

"By looking from outside you couldn't imagine what we are hiding for you here inside..."
..Life is good at Hotel Helka
“Imagine sitting at the moment on a cozy chair in a tranquil atmosphere and enjoying special Finnish drinks. And when leaving this place you are friend for life with the locals hanging in the street bar.”
“Whether you’ll need a smaller intimate place for your team or larger space for training – we got it!”
The hotel was founded by one of the oldest women’s organizations in Finland (YWCA of Finland). And the building, which the YWCA’s women build in the late 1920’s, offered safe place for women to live or visit. There was also YWCA’s central office, bakery, bakery shop, coffee shop and laundry and day-care centre. However, the world changed and the YWCA decided to change along with it. Hotel Helka got to conquer the building.
