Helsinki Airport is an important hub for intercontinental flights. It is especially important for travellers flying to or from the Far East -- after a long flight from Beijing or Tokyo a night in Helsinki makes it easier to continue the travel after a good night's sleep.
Thus it should not come as a surprise that there are several airport hotels worth recommending. In this and some posts following during the next weeks, you'll find information about my personal favorites.
Cumulus Airport Hotel
The Cumulus chain is one of the biggest and most popular hotel chains in Finland. The Cumulus in not known as a luxury chain -- the hotels are affordable and nice hotels for business travellers and vacationers alike.
The Cumulus Airport hotel in Helsinki is close to the Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. Furthermore, you can always use the airport shuttle bus which runs according to a set schedule to take you to and from the hotel.
There are 291 rooms in Cumulus Airport hotel. Out of these, 101 are singlerooms, 174 double rooms and 13 triple rooms. In addition, there are three four bed rooms.
The Helsinki airport is situated in the town of Vantaa. This means iteasily takes half an hour to get to the centre. Unfortunately, thereare no train or subway connections to the city. Thus you have to takea taxi or bus.
Of course, this will be no problem for you if you are just staying overnight in Finland with no plans to visit Helsinki. I would, however, strongly recommend you to visit the centre - unless you are coming to Finland during Christmas or in the New Year's Eve.
