Very nice place and very nice location near city center. Industrial look is cool and I loved the black container gates around the lobby. Nice food as well!

Breakfast and dinner buffee was phenomenal. Rooms were nice, had a one common room that was big with a window and a one with roof terrace. Staff was nice and helpful. Bar didn't surprise me, nothing special. Summer terrace is homey.

Very nice hotel!
Nicely located by the water this hotel offers supreme accommodation in Helsinki. Nice rooms, a bar and of course a restaurant on the premises.
Within walking distance of pretty much everything. Welcoming and helpful staff.
Would absolutely stay here again!

The hotel was nice. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The rooms were clean and spacious. The decor and ambiance in the lobby was modern and unique. The restaurant was absolutely amazing! The food was phenomenal, especially the reindeer. The service was great as well.

Air conditioning never worked for the duration of our 7 day stay. Maintenance tried to fix it twice. Otherwise, the atmosphere was nice, rooms were too. Fitness Center was upscale. Breakfast was good.

Premier Inn style value proposition but with design as a key attribute. Backpackers and tourists predominate. Good juices and a very good gym. Small but perfectly formed. Finnish style. Dirty stains on carpet and wall. Breakfast is like night of the living dead as the property struggles to cope with its manifest of undersupervised children and uncouth parents.

Stood here for a night, got a free upgrade to one of the suites. Food was pretty good considering it was buffet. Located close to some shops and a mall. 35 min drive from the airport. Front desk staff of ok.

Just spent 4 night there for business. The room booked was a standard. It's on the smaller side but comfortable and very quiet. The breakfast offer a lot of choice and the food is good quality. Croissants are delicious. The location is perfect for a morning run next to the water. The is also a nice gym but didn't use it. I will go back to this hotel if in the area again.

Very nice hotel on the water. Walking distance to the center of Helsinki and the walk itself is very pleasant and allows for seeing a lot of this beautiful city. Very close to the open air market at Hietalahti Square. If walking is not your thing then you can take the efficient tram, which stops just steps from the hotel. Excellent buffet breakfast at the hotel and there is a very nice seafood restaurant a few steps from the hotel called Merimakasiini. Close to the place where most cruise ships are made. Often an excellent value as I have booked in July for around 100 euros (2 people including full buffet breakfast that includes smoked fish and other great Finnish delights).

We booked a basic room, however become of the hotel layout and it being a converted dockside building the rooms are massive.

Beautifully done with contemporary art / decor.

Although a 20 min walk from the station we decided to give it a go, it's on a tram route anyway. The sun was shining in an early Helsinki spring and the walk itself takes in the sites of some fine architecture.

Very convenient store nearby (k market) and plenty of bars on the way back into town.

Very nice hotel

Everything about this place was fantastic. The room was nice, bed was comfortable, staff was friendly and accommodating as well. They were even able to get us checked in several hours before check-in due to an early flight into Helsinki that morning. Also very close to public transportation stops. Brunch was tasty and plentiful, but also the only reason why it's 4 stars instead of 5. It was a little expensive for the quality of the food (in comparison to the hotel across the street which blew breakfast out of the water), but that can be expected from hotels. But they also unfortunately started putting everything away at least 15 minutes before breakfast ended, which left my wife and I with a $27 bowl of yogurt and coffee. This event aside, the hotel was Very enjoyable.

The hotel is beautiful. Lobby and breakfast area are really modern and cozy. We arrived late (around 2am) and on a holiday weekend, but the doorbell was answered right away and there were two nice employees at the check-in desk, smiling, even.
The breakfast was one of the best I've ever had. We were a group of four, so the price was really worth the stay (2 double-beds). The room was spacious, pretty, bathroom with heated floor...It was just one night, but I was really pleased!

Very very nice hotel. Beautifully decorated and extremely comfortably furnished. Big beds and spacious rooms. 24/7 well equipped gym. Very rich and diverse breakfast (though some of the stuff were not too friendly), tasty food. Very good location, with own parking in a garage. This is a very good place to stay in Helsinki.

Close To Downtown (15 minutes by walk), close to small harbour and mall. Rooms narrow. Comfortable beds, very quiet room (7th floor), good breakfast. Hotel car park (chargeable). Decoration not suitable for high class hotel.

The people in the hotel are very nice and friendly, the location is good. What was not so good was the cleaning... Although in the room it was ok, at the restaurant the cutlery, cups and mugs were very often dirty. The gym had great space and machines, but it was lacking lots of cleaning... Which made me not even want to go and see the sauna...
The space in the room was ok, the bathroom a little smaller than what I would like.

This hotel is not as good as other in the same group. I did not like the design that made the room and bathroom look like a building site. Leaving stickers on wash basins etc and keeping metallic furniture looks bad and cheap. The shower was a disaster as well as showering meant you had a wet bathroom floor after. The breakfast was ok but not great. Very nice staff though.

Very nice inside, but the sea could be seen only if you're positioned correctly within the room. Also they pulled the oldest trick in the book "I don't have your type of room, but for an extra buck you could get something you don't really need"

As a member of a large hotel chain, the Radisson Blu Seaside could have run the risk of falling into a nondescript category of hotels that are all similar to one another. Not so, luckily, as the interesting post-industrial-cum-maritime motif of the decor manages to draw the guest's attention and to make her/him even more curious about the place they are staying at.
The rooms are sufficiently spacious, with a good working area. The beds are incredibly comfortable, and cleanliness is excellent.
Breakfast has among the most diverse and ample choice I have experienced so far when travelling for business.
The staff's helpfulness and friendliness are also aspects that are worth noting in this review.

A good option
Although it's a bit expensive it's a good place to stay. Pets are welcome. Avoid the ramp if Disable, it's a joke, use the elevator instead. Saumon Breakfast is great but avoid he scrambled eggs. Parking but you'll have to pay 29€/night. Quiet place, good sleeping quality. 20min walk to downtown. Watch out the room cleaning service.

This is good hotel for families. They have plenty of nice family rooms with 2 king size beds. We could even see sea from our room, even if we didn't have sea view. They were lately renovated and we really appreciated that they added so many family rooms. There were some unpractical things like missing place for bags, but separate toilet was extra plus.
Service was really nice and breakfast fresh and good tasting. One tip: don't wait for coffee service, in rush hours it takes too long. Cleaning was just ok.

Some technical difficulties with the elevators (nearly took off my hand), and the common areas should have a sign for people to clean up after themselves (i.e. wash your own dishes after you are done), or else have hotel staff come by at the end of the day - there was a growing pile of dishes on our floor that were in the sink for a week.
Buffet is a wee bit overpriced for the quality of food served, but not bad, actually tasty.

The bar is great.
Service is very nice.

It's improving.

A very good hotel at a rather central location. Had a great room in two levels.
The beds where awesome. Really comfortable. Good breakfast restaurant. Even though I missed them not having an omelette chef on duty. Good selection otherwise.
Nice, friendly and efficient staff overall.
I can really recommend this place.

Very nice location near the centre of Helsinki. Nice views of the harbour. The hotel has a maritime theme while also feeling modern and contemporary. The staff were friendly and helpful. One occasion that was almost an exception was when arriving for breakfast it wasn't clear to me or my colleague exactly where things were (the different for selections and drinks were all spread out in different places). A quick explanation pointing is in the right direction and telling us where to find the coffee would have been easy to do and m improved the experience but it was no big deal. I liked my room which was week appointed and comfy.

Had a great time ! I spent two nights with a friend there and we both slept very well, the beds and pillows are amazing. The bathroom was nice and clean. Also the available sauna is very clean and it was very nice to go there in the morning and in the evening. The only downside was that the staff was not very welcoming.

After staying at a number of Radisson Blu's you come to a certain standard and this hotel really misses the mark.

The room is in desperate need of an update and the bathrooms need to be totally replaced. Marks on the bedspread, filthy chair, worn furniture, mouldy shower and so forth.

Breakfast was better and was nicely laid out and staff were friendly and helpful.

If I paid full price I would have been harsher with my scoring, the Radisson Blu Plaza hotel is so much nicer and was where we stayed on our first visit.

Room Tip: Try and get one of the renovated rooms if you have to stay here.

Pros: The location and the friendly Staff.
Cons: Cleaner bathrooms and more attention to cleanliness and detail.
Location: Shopping Center nearby on route 9 tram. Route 6 takes you to all the locations one wants to go to such as shopping and museum (E3.00).
PROS: The location was excellent.The west harbor is very near, trams 6 and 9 are excellent to get around right in across the hotel. Walking distance to the city center, shopping mall, groceries. Great Turkish restaurant close by. Halikarnas. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. There were no sour apples throughout my stay. The hotel provided excellent amenities such as hair dryer, heated towel racks, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, hand soap (sewing kit which wasn't in the room, vanity kit ---which was not left for my room). Comfortable mattress, pillows can be ordered to your desire. Sheets, towels were clean. The furniture was comfortable and a nice working table and chair. The view was of the harbor. Housekeeping is quick. Great service. Breakfast buffet was sumptuous. CONS: Do not accept US$ for payments, US$ cannot be changed in the hotel. It can be changed in the nearby shopping center about a mile away. Shower was mildewy, requested cleanup and they cleaned it up. Shower blocked on the first shower, called and fixed it immediately. The toilet also was not hygienic enough. Generally the bathroom and room is not clean enough, the housekeeping does not pay attention to details. Generally not clean enough. Disco noise until about midnight comes through the windows. Housekeeping does not clean the rooms in the morning always, sometimes as late as 6 p.m.!!
