Radisson RED Helsinki

This is a modern, friendly and wonderful hotel. The staff could not do enough for us and the hotel itself was a highlight of our trip. we had the standard room and although it may have been a little small it was extremely well thought out i.e. night lights to the bathroom and also the most comfortable beds that I have had thus far on my European trip. The location is excellent. You are within 10 to 15 minutes walking distance to all the major attractions of Helsinki as well as facing a beautiful park. The breakfast is also of an excellent high-quality and they also serve wonderful coffee. You would be hard-pressed to find a better hotel at this price point.

The room was extremely clean. The bed was super comfortable. Great lighting. The breakfast was delicious! Especially the pancakes, best pancakes I've ever had.

Lovely, friendly staff who remembered us from a previous visit. Very good location - near the railway station and many visitor attractions. Good breakfast. Good sauna (although, tbf, we don’t really have much to compare). Gluten free options for both breakfast and dinner. LGBTQA+ friendly - drag bingo in the bar, anyone?

We had a corner room on the 8th floor...spacious with fantastic views. Bed so comfy! Hotel is spotlessly clean and being new very modern and stylish. Room had everything needed....fridge, kettle, hairdryer etc. Close to bars, restaurants, shops and within walking distance of all main attractions. We loved fresh water, fruit and treats being available in the foyer and enjoyed evenings relaxing in it. Staff friendly, polite and helpful. When the bar was closed, it was still possible to order drinks which is good.

A stand-out hotel in my baltic trip. I was in Helsinki for a few days and 2 nights were here (1 in Holiday Inn, also good but this was better). The rooms are great, the bed was so comfortable, the reception and dining areas had a cool and relaxed vibe with modern design touches and background music, friendly and respectful staff, it's a pretty new hotel so everything is the latest style/new. Breakfast was good and unrushed, plenty of tables. I usually left for the day refreshed and a relaxed mindset which set me up for the day which seems to be the whole ethos of the place, a combination of the design/finishes, staff and ambiance. It's a good location for a visitor [download the HSL app for travel and tickets, really useful]. Room - immaculate finishes and cleanliness, amazingly comfortable bed. Mine was a single-bedded room but the bed was more of a small double which was a bonus. The room was well equipped, high quality finishes, massive TV, digital temp. control, kettle and a coffee machine, a clever slide-out draw with a leather clad box with various coffee pods, milk and sugar, coffee was ok. It had a small desk adequate for a laptop. Sockets and usb sockets by bed and desk handy. Good shower pressure and complimentary toiletries. Breakfast - reasonably priced and good value, not a large hot selection but well made, adequate and I liked it, usually bacon, scrambled eggs and various fried vegetables, pancakes. Cereals, fruit, meats and cheese, pastries, cakes etc. Good gluten-free area and a very good coffee machine. Location - central but quiet location, near station up a street about 100 yards with a park behind it. Short 5 min walk to trams and main station, easily walkable to harbour and other central areas, tram to Tallinn ferry terminal just down the road, also close to tram to Stockholm ferry terminal. They were putting new paths in the park when I was there, when finished which is probably done now it will be useful for a jog or walk.
