Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean, nice, and cozy, equipped with all the necessary amenities, including a giant bed and a huge TV. However, the bright outside lights shining straight into the room from the entrance were a bit bothersome. The service was friendly but not always efficient. The location was convenient, just a few minutes away from the train station and surrounded by various restaurants and shops. The dining experience was good, with fresh food offerings, including options for people with allergies.
The hotel provided a mix of experiences: the rooms were amazing and modern despite a bumpy start with the air conditioning, and the breakfast was a real treat. The service was exceptionally helpful but had a minor hiccup with a shower issue. The location was bustling yet right by the train station. Dining offered a superb variety but lacked in some fresh options. Overall, a great value for the price with fantastic amenities.
The hotel's location is superb, being just a two-minute walk from the main railway station and right in the City Centre across from the beautiful Art Deco train station. The rooms were a mix of experiences, with an amazing and excellent setup overall, though the first night's housekeeping lacked attention. The service had its highs and lows, with excellent attentiveness on most occasions but some issues like a delay in fixing a shower problem and oddities like steamy windows due to ventilation issues. The dining experience was delightful with a good spread catering to various diets. The facilities were top-notch with plenty of amenities available.
The hotel had a large and well-designed room for the three of us, but there were dirty tables and hairs on the bed linens, which was a downside. The staff went out of their way to organize early check-in and late check-out for us, making our stay convenient. The location couldn't be better, right in the heart of the city center with easy access to everything.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and silent, perfect for a good night's sleep, although they felt a bit outdated and cluttered with furniture. The staff was friendly and attentive to our needs, but there were some lapses in efficiency. The location was superb, close to transportation options and the city center, making it convenient for exploring. The dining experience was satisfactory, with a good selection of breakfast options. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
I found the hotel to be overall pleasant, with quiet rooms despite feeling a bit dated. The staff were friendly and helpful, though the service seemed stretched at times. The location was convenient for exploring downtown Helsinki, but the lack of room servicing was a drawback.
The hotel offers rooms with some odd decor but very well-maintained, with a quiet ambiance and excellent sleeping conditions; however, the ventilation issues and lack of equal service training are noticeable. Its location is top-notch, ideal for exploring the city center and key attractions. The dining experience is good but has room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms at the back end of the hotel were indeed silent, spacious, and nicely decorated. However, they were disappointing in terms of cleanliness with noticeable dust in various areas. The proximity to 'the Aussie bar,' which operates late into the night, was a downside for a peaceful stay, and the overall quality did not match up to other Radisson Blu locations.
The hotel offers stylish rooms that are more of a standard 4-star than a 5-star, but they are fine without any issues. The service was extremely courteous and helpful despite some noise near the room. The location is very central in Helsinki, enabling easy access to attractions. The dining experience provided a good variety of healthy choices. Overall, a convenient choice in the heart of the city.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was amazing, right in the very center of the city, making it convenient to explore. However, the rooms were oldish and needed some renovation, which affected my comfort. The service was top-notch, especially thanks to Hana in the dining room, but the check-in felt a bit impersonal. The dining experience was pleasant but not outstanding. Overall, a mixed experience with positives and negatives to consider.
My stay at the hotel was really cool, despite the occasional chill in the room where I had to request a heater. The reception staff were exceptionally welcoming and always had a smile, with a special shoutout to Wilma for her assistance and cheerful demeanor. A great location for train travelers, with central access and a nearby train station.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The upgrade to the Plaza Suite with a private sauna and great views was amazing, but the standard rooms facing the interior courtyard were not so pleasant. The service had its ups and downs, with some staff members being amazing with our large group while others seemed to struggle to keep up. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Helsinki, but the dining options were a bit pricey. Overall, a stay with both highs and lows.
The hotel had a clean and comfy room with a large king-size bed and chaise lounge, though it felt a bit tired and small for a premium hotel. The service was extremely friendly and helpful, but billing issues took a while to resolve. The location was excellent, close to the main train station for easy access. The dining experience was decent but didn't fully meet luxury hotel expectations.
I had an incredible stay at the hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, although the bathrooms were a bit dated with tubs instead of walk-in showers. The Plaza Suite I was upgraded to was a dream, with two floors, a private sauna, and stunning views of Helsinki Central Railway Station and beyond. The service was top-notch, exceptionally accommodating, and helpful, going above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. The location was perfect, close to the train station and all the main landmarks, making it extremely convenient for exploring Helsinki. The dining experience was delightful, offering a wide variety of options that kept me full and energized for a day of city exploration. Overall, a fantastic hotel with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel had a great sound system and amazing views, but didn't have the feel of a 5-star hotel. The bathroom was basic, the shower head was too low, and the cleanliness could be improved. The price of almost 140 EUR plays a role in considering the overall value.
