If you feel the need to stay in Helsinki itself, then the following link gives some hotels
available in Helsinki (and a cheap(ish)) booking site

IF you decide to go for the city hotels, you should also factor in public transport to and from
CSC. It's relatively easy, but it is then highly recommended to purchase a 3 day tourist
ticket for convenience. More information is available here:
http://www.ytv.fi/ENG/transport/tickets_and_fares/prices_2009/tourists/tourist_tickets.htm
Please note that you would need a *region* card (3 days, adult, 24.00 euros). You can
compare this to a one way trip from the city center to Espoo (CSC).
(4.00 euros one way.)
Please don't confuse this with another Helsinki pass called the Helsinki Card.
(55 euros for 3 days.)
