Home Hotel Katajanokka

Quiet neighborhood and very close to the Viking Line ferry terminal. Tram 4 stops outside the gate. Nice atmosphere in the converted prison. The included dinner was good and the included breakfast was excellent.

I had a great stay at this hotel, liked the breakfast/fika/dinner so much that I didn't eat out much in Helsinki lol (though caviar did call my name). Staff seemed hands off in a good way, knowing it's not the US I don't expect smiles/friendliness but the younger front desk staff were still pretty friendly. The sauna was not working when I stayed and there was no notification until I asked about it. The sauna was one of the main reasons I stayed at this hotel, but there are public saunas elsewhere in Helsinki. The room was great, but the restroom has that weird half window panel that makes water go everywhere. FYI.

Great experience; this hotel is highly recommended. The staff is very friendly and professional, breakfast and dinner are delicious, the rooms are spacious and quiet. We stayed here in early June 2026 and could not have had a better stay.

I am a Canadian of Finnish decent and a friend of mine recommended the Home Hotel. I gotta tell you its a great hotel. Yes I was a little apprehensive at first as I heard it used to be a jail...but everything was amazing! From how they redesigned the place...to the lighting...to the super knowledgable and friendly staff...to the amazingly tasty buffet breakfast...to the heated bathroom floors and the super comfy bed it was a 10/10. Oh also the location! Just a 5-10 minute walk to the tourist zone of Helsinki...but far enough to be super quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend this one!
