Located between Kallio and Pasila, Vallila has emerged in recent years as one of Helsinki’s trendiest neighborhoods – and it’s easy to see why. Just last week, Time Out named Vallila the 9th coolest neighborhood in the world.
The Folks Hotel Konepaja sits at the heart of this lively and ever-changing area. Historic industrial halls have been given a new lease on life as hubs for culture, dining, and events.
Vallila’s roots are strongly tied to its working-class history, with old locomotive workshopsand textile factories shaping the area. Today, these same brick buildings host the hotel, restaurants, a cinema, as well as sports and cultural spaces – all while retaining just enough raw character to keep the authentic Vallila vibe alive.
Experience Vallila’s urban atmosphere yourself! Stay at The Folks Hotel, in the heart of Konepaja, and immerse yourself in the area’s history, modern energy, and sense of community all under one roof.
Take a morning stroll along the charming streets of Puu-Vallila, stop by local cafés and restaurants, and return in the evening to the hotel, where the spirit of the old machine hall meets modern design and comfort.
The Folks Hotel Konepaja is the perfect base for discovering the real side of Helsinki – urban, trendy, and full of warmth!
