If the hotel is suitable as accommodation for the Swedish Crown Princess, it is ideal for anyone. I have stayed at Hotel Haven with a child, and for that purpose, too, the hotel felt like home. Hotel Haven is located in the heart of Helsinki, close to everything. Large parks, the old Art Nouveau Center, the South Harbor, and the commercial center are within walking distance. Even though Hotel Haven is a luxury hotel, the atmosphere is warm and inviting.
What makes Valo Hotel & Work Helsinki unique is the possibility to change the purpose of use of all rooms. Valo is not just a hotel and a co-working space glued together; the rooms and their furniture are designed so that the staff can easily and quickly change their use. Furniture elements that can be turned to the wall are designed for the rooms, with a full-size double bed on one side and a desk or sofa on the other side. Valo Hotel's large wellness complex is located on the seventh floor, partly inside and partly on the hotel's roof in the open air. Outside on the roof are two small log saunas, a jacuzzi, and a cold pool. Inside is a steam sauna, a wading pool, a lounge area, a bar, and changing rooms. The facility is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful spa areas connected to hotels I have ever visited, and I can recommend it without reservation to adults. If you use Valo as a workspace and need a hotel room, I can't think of any reason you shouldn't stay the night.
