Top Otaniemi Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Seaside Hotel, Helsinki

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was very conveniently located close to the cruise port. It had a beautiful view and was very clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and the beds comfortable. My only complaint was that the room was very warm even though we had the ac on low. We opened the windows, though, and it was very cool after that. The food at the breakfast buffet was plentiful and delicious."
