Top Helsinki Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Seaside Hotel, Helsinki

Radisson Blu Seaside Hotel, Helsinki

10/10 Excellent
"One of the best European Hotels I have ever stayed at. Wonderful breakfast, good location, Public transportation nearby. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was small but that is normal for Europe. Bed was comfortable. Room was clean. Just a short walk to the harbor and ferry. Grocery store nearby and lots of restaurants. I would stay here again when in Helsinki."
