HOMELY – Executive Suite 72m2 -Sauna

HOMELY – Executive Suite 72m2 -Sauna Overview

First Impressions

When I first stepped into HOMELY – Executive Suite 72m2 -Sauna, I honestly wasn’t expecting much from an apartment-style accommodation. But you know what? This place completely changed my perspective on what a four-star stay in Helsinki could be. The 72 square meters feels genuinely spacious — not just marketing speak — and there’s something refreshingly honest about the name “HOMELY” that actually delivers on its promise.

Location & Neighborhood

The location on Mikonkatu is absolutely unbeatable, and I mean that without exaggeration. You’re literally in Kluuvi, which puts you within walking distance of everything that matters in Helsinki’s city center. I could grab morning coffee from a local café, walk to Senate Square in about five minutes, and still make it to the Design District without breaking a sweat. The couples who rated this location 9.7 clearly know what they’re talking about — it’s one of those spots where you feel like you’re living in the city rather than just visiting it.

The Suite Experience

What really sets this place apart is how the space is designed. The apartment doesn’t feel cramped like so many city accommodations do, and the kitchen is actually functional — not just a mini-fridge with delusions of grandeur. I spent a good chunk of my evening just enjoying the layout, which flows naturally from the living area to the sleeping space. The fifth-floor position gives you decent views without the noise from street level, something you’ll appreciate if you’re planning to actually relax here.

The Sauna Experience

Having a private sauna in your room is honestly a game-changer, especially in Finland where sauna culture runs deep. It’s not huge, but it’s perfectly sized for two people and gets properly hot — none of that lukewarm disappointment you sometimes encounter. After walking around Helsinki all day, there’s something deeply satisfying about having your own little wellness retreat. I actually used it every single day of my stay, which surprised even me.

Why Guests Love It

This place works because it doesn’t try to be something it’s not. You’re getting a well-designed, spacious apartment with genuine amenities in one of Helsinki’s best neighborhoods. The 8.6 rating makes perfect sense when you consider the combination of space, location, and that private sauna — it’s the kind of setup that makes you want to extend your stay. There’s no fancy lobby or room service, but honestly, when you’re this close to Helsinki’s best restaurants and attractions, you don’t really need them. The parking situation requires some planning since you’re in the heart of the city, but that’s a small trade-off for being able to walk everywhere that matters. This Helsinki gem truly offers an exceptional experience for discerning travelers seeking comfort and convenience.

Best hotels in Helsinki blend Nordic interiors, rooftop saunas, and seasonal tasting menus that celebrate Baltic flavors.
