Star Service "The Radisson Blu Seaside is a little set aside from the bustling city center, but still in a well-connected location." Full review

Parts of the original building date back from 1920s, which leaves it with some charming brick work, but most of the hotel's interior has been combined with dark wood to make sure the old factory feel is replaced with warmth and coziness.

"'Seaside' conjures up ocean views and beaches but the actual vistas of Helsinki’s West Harbour with cruise ships docking and an icebreaker shipyard are just as exhilarating." Full review

Some rooms even have a sauna for no extra cost, so it's worth requesting one of these on the off chance.

Star Service "A five-minute uphill walk from the main train station, this property is one block from the main shopping street and right on Kamppi Square." Full review

The large room count keeps staffers busy and unable to respond quickly to special requests.
