Helsinki still shifts with daylight saving (UTC+2 in January, UTC+3 in July). The polite window around Kamppi / Kalasatama is 08:00–16:00 local. Ask once what hours they actually keep, then honor the answer. On an ordinary weekday in Helsinki, treat the desk as reachable only in local business hours.
