Accommodation options

Helsinki is a relatively small capital city and the public transportation system is excellent, so there are hundreds of accommodation options to choose from during your stay. To help you first check out the hotels that are closest to Metropolia campuses and choose the one that matches your preferences, we have compiled the enclosed list for you.

The prices in a single room in the capital region are often from 70 € up to 170 € euros per night. The rate of each hotel varies and depends on the availability and the demand for each period of time. You will find more information about the available housing options on the Visit Helsinki website or at hotel booking services sites.

Please e-mail the hotel directly for reservations.
