Read it your way
The Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel is a historic property set directly beside Helsinki Central Station, notable for its original architectural details and engraved oak panels. Guests appreciate the exceptionally comfortable beds, welcoming staff, and clean bathrooms stocked with This Works toiletries. However, soundproofing between adjoining rooms is weak, allowing noises like snoring and phone alerts to easily pass through connecting doors. 1217111

- “Great breakfast recommend the cooked to order omelette.” 25
- “Yes! Very central location, walking distance to a couple malls and skytrain stations and food in their RESTAURANT is good.” 13
- “What was absolutely adorable and unique which I have never seen before, was the mini farmer's market, a little cove off of the main restaurant with hot fresh bread, delicious salad assortments and healthy smoothies.” 11
- “The hotel restaurant has recently shifted to focus on local Finnish food and this is one to watch - it's early days yet but this looks like a very promising newcomer and could be reason enough to stay here, too...” 5
- “Top floor spa & restaurant are a nice toich.” 24
- “Didn't use the bar but we did have the Xmas Eve and Xmas day buffets, which meant I got me a Xmas dinner. Just a small one though because the array of food on offer was superb. Indian, Thai, Japanese, Italian, and all good quality. Plus some exquisite desserts.” 13
- “it seems a shame that the Blu Seaside doesn't make more of an effort. Here in Norway we have hotels that compete to offer the best buffet breakfast and I think that Radisson should set their sights to this kind of level too.” 5
- “I really like hotel Marski, the breakfast is fantastic” 24
- “Nice breakfast if a bit busy!” 4
- “Next vote is to Lilla Roberts, seriously comfortable beds and incredible breakfast.” 24

- “Loved this hotel, staff were exceptional, food was great, one of the best hotel gyms too.” 15
- “Tea and coffee making facilities are always welcome and a Nespresso machine makes life easy.” 10
- “Not only is it the most important meal of the day, the 'super breakfast' at the Plaza is known as the best one at any hotel in the city. There was a fantastic variety on offer and extra touches like being able to press your own juice certainly raise the standard.” 10
- “Breakfast selection was fairly big, but somehow even that which was a big selling point of the hotel has lost a bit of its glamour of yester years. I think it's that the products were not that particularly fresh.” On camera95:53
