we will plan to stay at citykoty
is there any plans for a discount at omenahotels.com?
Hi Justin,
There propably won’t be any discount to omenahotels. The way they operate is that room prices go up the more people
reserve rooms. So early birds gets the cheapest rooms. That is also why they don’t useally give discounts.
But consider the president option too since it is a great hotel with a perfect location, breakfast, pool, etc…
See you in a couple of months!,
Tuomas,
What is the transportation like from the airport to the Presidents Hotel? I am flying in and would love to know what is the best way to get the hotel.
The easiest way is to take the bus 615 from the airport. It costs 4€. It comes to the main railway station and from there you can walk to the hotel. It is around 500m from the railway station to hotel. If you are carrying hevy luggage you could get of at Sörnäinen metro station and take a metro to Kamppi which is right next to the hotel. Here is a link to journey planner: See you soon!

Another convenient option is to take the Finnair City Bus that will take you directly to the Presidentti (just let the driver know that’s where you want to get off). It is only slightly more expensive (€5.90) and runs every 20 minutes or so.
