What guests think

Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel, Helsinki draws consistent praise for its central, walkable location near the main station, comfortable rooms, and standout breakfasts, while feedback often notes dated room elements, shower layouts that splash water, and occasional service delays.

Many guests highlight friendly, helpful staff, though check-in can be slow at times and early check-in fees frustrate some. Facilities include a popular sauna, while the gym and bar feel basic compared with expectations. Cleanliness is generally good but housekeeping frequency and bathroom maintenance or odors are inconsistent across stays. Overall, expect a convenient city base with comfort first and polish varying by room.

Facilities

Sauna facilities are widely appreciated, but the gym is small and dated with occasional broken equipment; the on-site bar is simple and can feel overpriced.

Nice simple and clean hotel. Check in took forever though as only one person on the desks, no shower screen in the bathroom which meant everything got soaked and the gym is beyond basic.

Chambre signature correcte, le lounge inclus est un plus. Petit dejeuner très passable, industriel. Personnel agréable. Sauna séparé homme/femme, pas convivial pour les couples pas de jacuzzi. Bon emplacement géographique meme si le secteur donne sur une grande place depourvue d'intérêt.

Bra med två fåtöljer på rummet, så exempelvis ett par får varsin, vilket tyvärr inte är vanligt nu för tiden. Baren på hotellet var väldigt spartansk och överpris på drinkar. Frukosten var helt okej och läget. Var centralt och bra nära till city kärnan

I recently stayed at the Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. Upon arrival, I was given a room that was not properly cleaned; the bed sheets had noticeable stains, and it seemed as though they had not been washed. Additionally, the mattress had no covering. After bringing this to the attention of the reception, they were accommodating and moved me to a different room. However, the second room also had issues. There were hairs on the bed, and once again, the mattress lacked any covering Frustrated, I requested a room on another floor. Finally, I was placed in a clean room, which was a relief. Unfortunately, the problems did not end there. The following day, when I requested room cleaning, I was disappointed to find that the housekeeper did not wipe the toilet seats, the floor wasn’t swept, and the sheets were not changed. While I must commend the reception staff for their kindness and willingness to assist, the overall cleaning standards at the hotel were severely lacking. Cleanliness is a fundamental aspect of any hotel stay, and in this regard, the Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel fell short. I hope they can improve their housekeeping practices in the future, as I would have loved to enjoy my stay otherwise. Pro Walking distance to tourist attraction Friendly staff Sauna Con Dated room Dirty bedding Housekeeping does not clean rooms

Very nice and unique hotel located right in city center. Within walking distance of all tourist sights, but there is all kinds of transportation options readily available (Metro, Trolleys, Taxis, Buses, etc.) Central Railway Station is only a couple of blocks away, if you want to take a train from/to the airport. Taxi will set you back around 45 Euro. Plenty of restaurants and bars for blocks around the hotel. The rooms are very nice. It took me a while to figure out all the lights and power plugs, but once I did it, it was nice to have all the options. My only (If minor) issue, was the shower. I like my showers hot, but water was only warm at best (Not cold, so acceptable). Also there is no shower door, so there will be a lot of water splashed all over. I guess they expect that because there are two drains. If you have mobility issues, you may have problems getting into the shower (Actually a very tall bathtub). And even though that deep tub looked tempting, the water temperature made me think otherwise. Nice and quiet. I had a great night sleep the nights I was there. I would definitely stay there again.

Excellent location within easy walking distance of city centre and transport options. The communal areas are in great condition and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Breakfast is excellent with a wide range of choice including vegan / gluten free etc. Unfortunately the rooms are in dire need of a refurb and it is for that reason I wouldn't stay again. The furnishings are bashed up and headboards are peeling off. The curtains are dirty and the beds/pillows are very uncomfortable. We asked to be moved to a different room but it was no better. The staff were apologetic and acknowledged the rooms needed refurbs but it didn't really help us at the time. A real shame as it is definitely not what you expect from a Radisson.

One of the slowest check-ins I’ve experienced. Not only for me but all the people standing before me.. and then walking in and out of the hotel or even walk up to the front desk, you had to really search for an eye-contact with the staff.. The GYM was not in good shape at all! Besides the that… The room was nice, the breakfast was big and fresh. And you have a great location.

I really liked the location — everything I needed, including the market, was within a 15-minute walk. The front desk staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made a great first impression. However, my experience at the dining room was disappointing. I arrived around 7 PM, and although the dining area had only two or three tables occupied, I had to wait over 30 minutes just to receive a menu. In total, I ended up waiting almost an hour before I was served and able to eat. This was especially frustrating because I had just arrived from the airport, was very tired, and had chosen to eat at the hotel for convenience. Unfortunately, the long wait made it a less than ideal experience.
