Still thinking about Christmas party accommodation? Affordable hotel in Helsinki city centre

Why should you choose Christmas party accommodation in the city centre rather than the suburbs?

City centre accommodation saves significant time and money during the Christmas party season. When your hotel is located in the centre, you can walk to restaurants, bars and party venues. Taxi journeys are eliminated entirely, and travelling by public transport is quick and easy. A late return home is no problem when your accommodation is just around the corner.

Safety is another significant advantage of city centre accommodation. Helsinki city centre is well-lit and busy even in the evenings, which makes getting around safe. Staying at a suburban hotel often means long journeys in dimly lit surroundings, which is not ideal after the festive atmosphere. In the city centre you can enjoy the evening to the end and walk to your hotel in peace.

Omena hotels are located in Helsinki on Lönnrotinkatu and Yrjönkatu, right in the heart of the city. Kamppi, Punavuori and Design District are within walking distance, and the best restaurants can be found near the hotel. When you choose city centre accommodation, you easily save 50-100 euros on taxi journeys compared to a suburban hotel. This money is better spent on good food and drinks with friends.

What is the difference between a traditional hotel and a self-service hotel for Christmas party accommodation?

A self-service hotel gives you complete freedom to celebrate Christmas parties without unnecessary restrictions. You don’t need to queue at reception late at night or in the morning when you’re in a hurry to get to work. You receive your room key in advance and can enter whenever you want. In a traditional hotel there may be a queue at reception just when you’re in a hurry to get to the party venue or when you return tired.

Privacy and freedom are the greatest advantages of a self-service hotel for Christmas party accommodation. You can return to the hotel whenever you want, bring friends along to continue the evening in your room and behave casually. No judgemental looks at reception or quiet corridors where you have to whisper. At Omena Hotel you can be yourself and enjoy the freedom to make your evening your own. The room has space for up to four people, so the whole group can stay overnight in the same place.

How much does Christmas party accommodation cost in Helsinki and how can you save money?

The Christmas party season raises hotel prices in Helsinki higher than usual, but with smart choices you can save significantly. On average, a hotel room costs 120-200 euros per night during the Christmas party season, but prices vary greatly depending on location and hotel. Omena hotels offer an affordable alternative for city centre accommodation without compromising on quality or location.

Group booking is the most effective way to save money on Christmas party accommodation. When up to four people can stay overnight in a room, the accommodation cost per person drops to a fraction. For example, a 100-euro room divided between four costs only 25 euros per person. This is considerably cheaper than separate hotel rooms or expensive suburban hotels, from which you still have to pay for taxi journeys to the city centre.

Book your accommodation early, as the Christmas party season is a busy time. Early booking guarantees the best prices and ensures you get a room in your desired area. There is no overbooking at Omena hotels, so your booking is always secure. You can also save on food costs by using the room’s fridge, microwave and kettle to store and heat your own provisions. This is particularly convenient for breakfast.

What should be in the room to make Christmas party accommodation comfortable?

A quality bed is the single most important thing in Christmas party accommodation, as a good night’s sleep ensures freshness for the next day. After a long party week, the body needs proper rest, and a bad mattress ruins the whole experience. Omena hotels have Finnish quality beds that offer five-star sleeping comfort. Wrapping yourself in soft hotel sheets feels pleasant on a tired party-goer’s skin.

A private bathroom is essential when several people are staying overnight in a room. Sharing with other hotel guests is not practical during the Christmas party season, when schedules are tight and preparation takes time. In your own bathroom you can prepare for the evening in peace or wash away the day’s traces without hurrying.

A kitchenette for your own provisions is a practical addition to Christmas party accommodation. A microwave, fridge and kettle make it possible to store and heat your own provisions. You can buy breakfast from Forum shopping centre or a nearby grocery shop and store it in the fridge. Hot tea or coffee tastes good after a cold evening, and the microwave quickly heats up a small snack. Space for the group and practical amenities make the accommodation comfortable for everyone, and everyone can find their own place to relax.

Christmas party accommodation is worth planning carefully so you get the best possible experience for your budget. City centre location, freedom and comfort combine at Omena hotels into the perfect package for spending festive moments. In addition to Helsinki, we also offer affordable overnight stays in other major Finnish cities: Tampere, Turku, Jyväskylä, Pori, Vaasa, Joensuu and Hanko.
