Superb location with clean and spacious rooms

Superb location and a lovely venue. Big bathroom and loved the sauna! We put out child in the main bedroom and used the fold out sofa, which functioned very well as a proper bed and we slept well.

Thank you Bob

Lovely stay. We were contacted (possibly by Bob himself) at the start and end of the stay to check in, which was a nice touch. We loved all the extras, especially the free chocolate and the polaroids from other people who had stayed. Brilliant location for sightseeing in Helsinki. The apartment was very well appointed and sparkling clean. Could not fault our stay and would like to thank all the staff at Bob W Helsinki!

Great location and within short walking distance of the central station, other transport links, shops and sightseeing. Clean and modern apartment with comfortable bed and sofa bed. Keyless entry great for a late check in. Great customer service, although we had a few small issues they were rectified easily and quickly. Would definitely visit again. Thank you.

Best Of Both Worlds

If you want a 2 bed apartment in central Helsinki then this is the apartment for you. It’s got a good kitchen setup and has the bedrooms. In one bedroom is the sofa and TV and the other large bedroom is also in place. The apartment is on the fourth floor with no lift but it’s communal areas were clean and well maintained with lights also present. We would happily come back and enjoy another “Best Of Both Worlds” apartment. The landlord is very quick to respond to queries or issues and is very supportive of you just want some local advice.

The room was so amazing. He was very nice and helpful host. Everything you imagine was right there in the room such as laundry. How to get a key was quite confusing. The key lock was quite far from the property. No elevator

Simple but stylish and in a great location this was the perfect apartment for our family. There are some really nice touches too such as the coffee and tea provided and the polaroid camera to take a photo and leave on the guest board.

Professional and helpful service

It was really an amazing experience to us. The first room I booked was meant for 4 pax with sauna, the layout of the room is not great and with the sofa bed set up, the living room hanging light seems to be out of the way and we kept knocking into it. However, my friend has a last minute change of their travelling plan and needed to leave earlier. Hence we contacted Bob W to request to down-size our room. They are very helpful and professional, helped us to check availability and assisted us to change to another room meant for 2 on our remaining nights. This room although is slightly smaller without sauna, we like the layout of the room much better, it is spacious and comfortable.

Location was excellent! The penthouse was spacious and there was more than enough room for our family of 6. There are many restaurant options nearby and Senate Square is just several minutes walk away.

Clean, comfy and still quiet right in the city cen

Spotless, comfortable beds, right in the city centre. All you need in the kitchen and in bathrooms is available. Check in, though all digital, is smooth. Though, we didnt have heating working all well, and then communication is a bit hard, since we just received generated mails, but not a personal feed back on the heating issue. But we managed, the weather wasnt freezing yet. All in all, a lovely stay.
