Top 4 hotels in Helsinki, please

We are planning to visit Helsinki next summer. I would appreciate some info on the top 4 hotels in the city. Considerations would be location, size of bedrooms, bathrooms, and anything else you might add.

Thanks in advance.

I stayed at the Arthur, also (this summer). I would not consider it to be one of the top hotels, though. Radisson SAS, maybe, although it is tucked away a bit from the main sights. Probably the Kamp, for location.

We stayed at Hotel Marski and was a great location, good breakfast and a nice room. It was a good sized room but don't remember more than that. It was within walking distance of the train station, the market, the shopping etc.

We also stayed at Hotel Anna but it was a little further from where we wanted to be.

The Kamp is one of the top hotels, the location is really good, right on Pohjoisesplanadi.

I also liked the Palace Hotel, the location is also really good, by the seafront. If you like a sauna with a view, this is the place. Not as upscale as the Kamp and rather old fashioned but great hotel nevertheless.

I stayed at the Klaus K Hotel, and it was wonderful. Nice size room and bathroom, great restaurants in the hotel, very good location. It isn't a chain hotel, so you have more of a Finnish feel, but all the comforts of a top of the line American hotel.
