Comfort Hotel Airport has rooms of different sizes for different needs. A person staying alone can stay in a Compact-sized room, and even a large family can stay in an XXL room. Some of the rooms have a view of the parking garages, while others have a limited view of the runway. The hotel is accessible and some of the rooms are also suitable for wheelchair users. Comfort Hotel Airport Helsinki is more straightforward than the neighboring Hotel Clarion, but its offerings are high-quality. Comfort is very similar to Citybox in Hakaniemi. Comfort sleeps well despite its location in the squeeze of runways and parking garages. There is a bar on the upper floor of Clarion, where you can spot airplanes or eat expensive bistro food. On the ground floor of Comfort, there is a small bar next to the reception, where you can buy food or drinks from a limited selection. Comfort also has a self-service laundry and a gym for overnight guests.

Hotel U14 is a trendy boutique hotel in southern Helsinki. It has been renovated in an old office building. The building was stripped bare to the concrete, and a new seventh floor was built on its roof. I like hotels of this style. I don't miss the services required for a star rating, but I get excited about beauty, peace at night, and a good breakfast. A charming detail in the U14 hotel is the round staircase in the elevator lobby. It's worth taking the elevator up to see it. The hotel has six room categories. The smallest room category is Comfort, which is also big enough for two. I stayed in the Trendy room class, which is so big that it can fit a full-sized extra bed, suitable even for an adult-sized teenager. I was most impressed by the Corner room category. In the Corner room, the elegance and playfulness were clearly taken further. I even felt the vibes of decadence. The bathroom was especially beautiful; the natural light flooding through the window felt magical.

I spent the night at Hostel Suomenlinna as part of my trip to Suomenlinna. It is a renovated old red-brick Russian folk school. There are separate rooms on the upper floor and group accommodation rooms on the lower floor. For groups, the hostel organizes services according to order. A solo traveler can order a buffet breakfast separately. I stayed in an upstairs room with a double bed. In addition to the double bed, the room had a chair and a small chest of drawers. Since the rooms on the upper floor were later built into the school's attic space, they had small windows by punching them in the ceiling. Raising the window to the rather steeply sloping ridge ceiling creates more space in the room. The sky was visible from the windows, or it would have been if the window had not been frozen on the outside. In my room, there was no possibility of covering the window with a curtain, which in summer can cause a surprise, at least for foreigners, due to the lack of darkness.
