Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel, Helsinki

Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel, Helsinki

8/10 Good
"The location is great, property is clean, the staff were nice and friendly. The only reason for 1 less star is that the property needs updating, by that I mean stained carpets, and it just appears a bit worn out so to speak."

"Everything was perfect for our overnight stay in Helsinki to fill the gap between our flights. The hotel is very close to the Central Railway Station, so you do not have to take a taxi for the trip between the airport and the hotel."
