Comfort Hotel Helsinki Airport
"Stayed here one night, before catching a flight. Hotel is right on the airport complex, connected to the terminal, so very handy location. Clean and modern, just what you require for a pre-flight hotel. I didn’t eat here so can’t comment on the food / drink options. Would use this hotel again."
