Lively hotel, modern decor, great breakfast. Checkin slow and confusing (not enough staff)

Marski by Scandic
Excellent location with easy access to most of the main attractions in Helsinki. Lots of amazing cafes, restaurants, shops etc right by the hotel. Good value for money. Ideal for trip we were looking for. Only real negative was there was a lot of noise coming through the vents on the first night ...

Hotel good price for what's offered. Single room small but adequate. Bathroom very small but useable as required. Hotel tired but clean and good breakfast. Three lifts so usually no long waiting time. All staff helpful and polite.

Radisson Blu Seaside Hotel, Helsinki
We really enjoyed our stay at the Seaside location. The room was comfortable and the buffet breakfast was excellent. The hotel is close to transit and the West Harbour Terminal. It’s our second time staying here and we enjoyed it as much as the first time!
