Today we visited Rhododendron Park. Last year we were too late for blossom. This year timing was right. Rhododendron blooming is at its best in early June.

The park’s official name is Alppiruusupuisto, Rhododendron Park, It is also known as Rodopuisto or Rhodopuisto. It is an eight-hectare area, which was originally bog.

It functions simultaneously as a park open to the public and as the University of Helsinki’s plant breeding experimental site − a solution unique in the world. The oldest rhododendrons have been planted in 1975, when the experimental site for the University of Helsinki’s plant breeding programme was developed in the area.

Very nice hotel

"We stayed in this hotel for a conference. Never been to Finland B4, but it very nice, clean and everyone was friendly. The hotel was great, we got a room on the 9th floor. This had views over the sea, the room was very clean and had the biggest bed I have ever seen! Very helpful staff and a nice breakfast with hot and cold food. The one thing I would say is don't think seaside, as in Southend on sea. It was quiet with no amusement machines! All in all 10 out of 10"

"Wow, in an excellent location, my check in was quick and efficient. My room was nice and the building is absolutely beautiful. Being so close to the station i thought it would be noisy but it wasn’t. A spacious room, beautifully decorated; stylish and homely. The high light of staying at Scandic hotels is always the breakfast and it didn’t disappoint-probably the best hotel breakfasts in the world. Would definitely stay there again."

5/5 Excellent

"I feel welcomed by all the friendly staff at the reception. Property is new, clean and fresh. I really appreciate that they accommodated my need to store my luggage while exploring Helsinki. Also the convenience of being so close to the airport terminal and train station. And we even got the same breakfast facility in the higher class of their sister hotel next door!"
