Hotel Haven

Sad to say that Hotel Haven didn’t live up to its 5-​stars. Let’s take the positive things first:
* Very good location, near harbor and the market
* Fairly large rooms with large big bed. Though you can also find too small rooms.
* Great sound from B&O television.
* Electric water cooker
* Waterbottles delivered each day.
And the bad:
* No sauna in the hotel!
* Small B&O television with poor aspect ratio. Also the menu is constantly and annoyingly starting on menu items for extra payed products.
* No coffee or tea.
* Most rooms have bad window views (not the harbor!)
* Breakfast has limited selection compared to other and cheaper hotels.

Fresh contemporary understated family-​run operation in middle of everything. Opt for spacious Lux rooms which you can also interconnect with Comfort rooms — good for families.
Great staff. Huge covered atrium for cigar smokers. Traditional room service plus as added bonus multiple offerings from venerable Hanko sushi.
This is modern Helsinki at best!

An outstanding hotel with excellent service.
This is one of those special hotels that really makes you feel at home. A very relaxing bar, bicycles available for use, and an excellent staff.
I had an early flight so they prepared a special breakfast for me at 4 AM.
It is not inexpensive but very much worth the price!

Haven is true to its name. Great location, amazing, detailed décor, shadowy bar with tempting snacks, sophisticated and discreet atmosphere. The rooms are absolute elegance with great views. The cosy bar area has soft couches and a fireplace. In the summer you can relax at the champagne terrace on downstairs patio. The breakfast is served at Havis. Restaurants Sundmans Krog and G. W. Sundmans are in the same block. Restaurant is a little traditional for my taste, but recognized as one of the best in the city. The bar has served as a location for discreet business meetings and not-​so-​discreet after parties. Great champagne selection.
Haven is on the expensive side but still well within reach. It is great quality so your money is not wasted. Finland’s first member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World.
