Top Helsinki Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel, Helsinki

Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel, Helsinki

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed here for seven nights and enjoyed our stay. The location is outstanding if you want to be very close to the Helsinki Central Railway Station. It's also within walking distance of Helsinki Cathedral, Senate Square, Market Square, and the harbor. There are plenty of restaurants, cafés, and shopping nearby. When we checked in, we learned the hotel was completely sold out, and our reserved room type was no longer available. The staff pleasantly surprised us by upgrading us to a wonderful and bigger room at no extra charge. That unexpected upgrade made our stay even more enjoyable, especially since we were there for an entire week. The rooms and hotel appeared clean and well-maintained. The breakfast buffet was excellent, with an impressive variety of hot and cold selections. While the menu was the same each morning for the entire stay, there were enough choices to enjoy something different every day. We only had to reserve a breakfast time once during our stay because the hotel was especially busy. The lobby is comfortable, and each evening guests are treated to complimentary apples, gummy candies, and cookies—a nice touch after a day of sightseeing. The hotel elevators require a room key card to access upper floors. Housekeeping is provided every 3 days, unless you request additional service. We had an enjoyable stay and will now consider other Radisson hotels in the future."
