I think overall 3.5 when mostly considering the food options, but I will round up to 4 since it was comfortable to stay in for an extended period of time. The front desk staff were also very nice. When we went the main Aspire Lounge was under renovation. I think this one may be the temporary one by gate 13 or so but I wasn't totally sure. The food offerings were a bit meager, mostly snack food. It was generally not enough for a full lunch. My husband left to get a hotdog. I actually did fill up on cream of mushroom soup and a lot of tomatoes but it was a very light lunch. They also had some deli meats, hummus, and cheese. The potato salad was not bad but probably not something I could eat a ton of since it was very carb heavy. They had some Pepsi products here as well as juice, beer, some cognac. They also had some chips, cookies, and muffins. There is a corner alcove with a table and some comfortable seats so that was nice to hang out in during our long layover.
As lounges go, this is okay. I can never complain about the privilege of resting in a lounge which comes for free with my credit card, however there is a variable standard of lounges. This is a decent lounge with basic food and beverage. There is a coffee machine with cookies, a salad bar and breads. There are drinks that you help yourself to. The view is great. Large glass panels make up one entire side of the lounge providing great views. The seating is cramped close together. This is a good place for a shorter break but it's not a good enough to spend many hours in.
Nice place to have a snack and a drink when waiting for you next flight. I came to this lounge twice on the same trip - first time no problem getting in, and on another day (early morning) there was an incredibly long line. Food is basic, but serviceable. Lots of group tables with charging ports scattered around. They have self-serve wine, and they have a few spirits hooked up to this contraption where you can pour your own. They have one beer on tap that you can pour yourself, and a self-serve automatic coffee machine. No real complaints. Probably nicer compared to most PP lounges in the US, but for Europe this is probably middle of the pack.
There is bo real food here to eat. A little ham and cheese and lingonberry jam. There is coffee and tea. The seating is average. There is really no service.
Finland, here we are, another layover another lounge. If you're anything like us, you stop at lounges when you can. For me, it gives me a sense of what that particular area has to offer on a surface level, but sometimes you get to experience some real gems hidden within a city, but they are in an airport! Stay tuned for those lounges, this was not one of those but it did the job well! The lounge was sleek, well thought out, organized and I was dead tired from jet lag so that's all I can remember. We stopped here before heading outside of security to explore the city before heading on home. So glad we did, because it nourished us appropriately, there was a soup that stood out and will forever remain in my thoughts when it gets cold and snowy back home. It was heavy and warm and just the right flavor that hit without being overwhelming. True story- I'd stop by here again just for that soup. Otherwise, usual buffet options, I did love the on tap alcohol selection. When in Helsinki...
It's no fun to be at the airport at 5:00 AM and it's even less fun when it's the end of a fantastic weekend in Helsinki. But the Aspire Lounge helps make some of that pain go away. I was able to access the lounge as a Delta Diamond Medallion and a Sky Club member. A quick scan of my boarding pass and I was in, even though I was an economy-class passenger today. Plenty of seating, mostly in small groups. In the back is a posted "Quiet zone" which was where I landed. I was with two friends and we kept our discussions to whisper level. There was no one back here sleeping but it might have been possible to doze off. Food options were decent with the usual European style including sliced turkey and sliced cheese, yogurt, fruit, fresh bread. I didn't spot anything hot other than oatmeal. Fresh coffee, sodas, liquor, wine and bubbles available. Wifi worked well and there were some (EU-style) power outlets available. They did not make any flight announcements.

This lounge came free with my credit card and was a nice early morning start before the flight. Not a huge selection but can't complain of the flavors and fast Wi-Fi. Comfortable seats with power outlets (charging stations) that supported other countries without the funky style of plugs that they use around the globe. LOL For sure would return to this lounge if had to wait for another flight.
The first thing I noticed about this lounge was how chic and modern it looked. I definitely loved the swinging bubble seats, although not quite the most comfortable while eating. The fake fireplace was very trendy with such a lovely feel. Despite that, the place was rather crowded though. The food offered were pretty standard snacks from bread to meats and cheeses. All of the drinks are self-serve including alcohol, which is convenient. Also, I wish they had their own wifi other than the free airport wifi though. Great spot for a lounge nonetheless.
I loved this Priority Pass lounge. It's very spacious and trendily decorated. Most seating areas have a plug nearby. Wine, beer, liquor, coffee & espresso machine, juices, and teas. Tons of high-quality food including bread and Finnish specialties, crackers, cookies, chips and nuts. They even had a kettle of potato leek soup. The staff was very diligent in picking up used plates and utensils. It was clean, quiet, and a generally enjoyable venue for relaxation. The only problem is that this lounge gets very, very crowded. I imagine this is because the only other Priority Pass lounge is after passport control. WiFi is just the airport's free WiFi.
Great little lounge near gate 26 in terminal 2. Nice menu of soup, salads, cake and some wines and liquors. Not too crowded. Quiet area for those inclined.
We had an okay time at the Aspire Lounge. It was hard to find the way up with a stroller have to walk all the way around and up a back elevator and through a hallway with a bunch of cleaning supplies and random things. The food was really lacking any flavor. I don't expect a ton from an airport lounge but this was pretty meh. The staff was attentive and friendly. We got some comfortable chairs and took turns taking a quick nap. The bar staff fills up your water bottle for you. Pretty large lounge which is nice. read more
Came by the other day before my flight out of HEL and it was a decent experience. Aspire Lounge appears to be a credit card lounge and access is only appears to be accessible via stairs. There is also an upper mezzanine level as well featuring additional seating. The lounge itself was spacious and featured fantastic tarmac views perfect for plane spotting. Food options were more limited and mainly carbs with minimal protein. There was a full bar too. Staff were super friendly. read more

I'm a fan! It's a quiet spot to get away from the airport hustle and bustle. Plenty of sockets to charge up your gadgets and lots of different seating options so there is somewhere for everyone to sit, whether they want to work or watch a bit of telly. The soup is tasty and apparently changes but I was here twice in one week and it was carrot both times. It was good! There is also a mini salad bar, cookies and fruit. For drinks there are soft fountain drinks, red and white wine, gin, whiskey, cognac and Finlandia vodka as well as beer and coffee. Basically, nice spot to chill and work if you have awkward layover times, cancelled flights or just have some time to kill before a flight read more
