In the common areas we offer recycling bins for plastic, bottles, cardboard, bio waste and mixed waste. We aim to recycle as much as possible.
If you’re in the mood for breakfast or a light snack, we recommend our partner cafe UG Hakaniemi, conveniently located on our ground floor. Craving some pastries? Then we recommend Kanniston Leipomo. Other breakfast sets can be found at Patisserie Teemu Aura.

The simplest way from and to the airport is bus number 600 and from the West Harbour trams number 7 & 9. We recommend taking sustainable choices like bus or tram over a taxi. Cheaper and better for the environment!
They are amazing, right? We get our beds from www.hildinganders.com which usually only delivers to hotels. However, they carry different brands, and the Jensen bed would be equivalent to the beds we have at the hotel.
Arena Center Hakaniemi offers parking for 35 EUR / 24h, entrance via Miina Sillanpään katu 6. Payment via EasyPark app.
Of course! Extra towels, a water kettle, and extra pillows are available in our Citybox Host Office on the ground floor.

To ensure a pleasant and safe environment for everyone, we have a few simple rules for storing your food in the refrigerator in our guest kitchen.
Label Your Items:
- Mark all items with your room number and check-out date. Items with incorrect or missing labels will be discarded.
No Alcohol or Medicine:
- Due to the presence of underage guests, alcohol and medicine cannot be stored. Any alcohol found will be removed and discarded.
No Stealing:
- Please respect others’ belongings. Do not take anything that isn’t yours.
Seal Smelly Items:
- Ensure all items with strong odors are properly sealed.
Proper Labeling Required:
- Items without correct labels will be removed without notice.
We don’t clean your room every day. Housekeeping is done after check-out and once a week during longer stays. This helps us keep our prices low and is also a big plus for the environment! Extra cleaning can be ordered for a small fee, just stop by the Host Office.
