Christmas holiday in the city: how to stay comfortably in the city centre

Why choose a city break for Christmas – what advantages does city centre accommodation offer?

A Christmas city break brings you close to everything essential without the stress of getting around. A city centre hotel means that Christmas markets, the best restaurants, and shopping opportunities are within walking distance. You save time and money when you don’t need taxis or long public transport journeys. You can return to the hotel for a quick rest and then head back out into the city.

A self-service hotel makes a city break even more liberating. We don’t have a reception desk where you’d need to queue or fill in forms. You arrive straight at your room and leave at your own pace. This is especially convenient during a Christmas holiday when you want to spend time at the Christmas markets late into the evening or set off early in the morning to explore the city before the crowds arrive.

The central location also gives you the freedom to choose your own experiences. The city’s best services surround you, so you can plan your days entirely according to your own preferences. Do you want to spend the afternoon Christmas shopping or in a cosy café? The choice is yours, and everything is nearby.

How do you save money on Christmas holiday accommodation without compromising on comfort?

A budget-conscious Christmas holiday starts with a smart accommodation choice. A self-service hotel offers all the essential comforts without expensive additional services that you don’t really need. You get a quality luxury bed for a good night’s sleep, your own bathroom, and kitchenette facilities for your own snacks. Pricing is transparent, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

The central location saves money in many ways:

• No expensive taxi rides back to the hotel in the evenings
• Walking distance to Christmas markets and restaurants
• Good transport links if you want to explore the city more widely
• Local shops and eateries just around the corner

The microwave, mini-fridge, and kettle in the room give you the freedom to save on meals. You can buy breakfast supplies or snacks from the shop instead of eating every meal in a restaurant. The money you save can be spent on something you really enjoy: Christmas shopping, a nice dinner, or even theatre tickets.

At Omena Hotels, you always get rooms for up to three or four people, which makes accommodation for families or groups of friends affordable. One spacious room costs less than several small hotel rooms elsewhere.

What do you need from a Christmas holiday hotel room – and what don’t you?

A good Christmas holiday hotel room needs surprisingly few essential things. The most important is a quality bed where you sleep soundly after Christmas markets and city tours. With us, every room is equipped with Finnish quality beds and soft sheets. Your own bathroom is of course essential, and you’ll find one in every room.

Practical amenities make your stay comfortable:

• Microwave, mini-fridge, and kettle for your own snacks
• Space for three or four people for families and groups of friends
• Tips for the city’s best restaurants
• Privacy and peace to rest

What don’t you need? Reception services that only slow down check-in and check-out. Rigid schedules that restrict your freedom. Extra hotel services that you pay for but don’t use. When you choose Omena, you always know exactly what you’re getting and what you’re paying for. No surprises, no hidden costs.

Predictability is a holiday budget’s best friend. Every Omena Hotel offers the same quality basic facilities: city centre location, proper bed, own bathroom, and space for several people. You can trust that you’ll get exactly what you need.
