Radisson Blu Aleksanteri Hotel, Helsinki

Sauna in the building + comfortable beds. Friendly staff. Enough space to work in the morning.

It's centrally located, and the experience it offers is exceptional for the price. The interior decor was exceptional, the beds were very comfortable, the rooms and restrooms were very clean, and the staff was incredibly kind. I would definitely choose this hotel again if I visit this city again.

We stayed for just one night at this cozy and well-located hotel. The bed was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, and the room, situated in the modern part of the hotel, featured two large windows that let in plenty of natural light. One of the highlights was the sauna. I had the space entirely to myself for two hours, which was a delightful and peaceful experience. The Finnish approach to the sauna is different from what I’m used to in the Czech Republic, making the experience both surprising and memorable. The “Super Breakfast” lived up to its name! It started with a refreshing shot of fresh sea buckthorn juice, followed by a wide variety of delicious foods. The porridge was outstanding, especially with the delightful strawberry marmalade as a topping. There was an excellent selection of cheeses, bread, cold snacks, fresh fruits, and sweets. The juices were tasty, and I enjoyed the alcohol-free “Morning Mary.” The variety was so extensive that I couldn’t possibly try everything I wanted! Overall, the hotel offered a warm, inviting stay with thoughtful touches that made it memorable. I would gladly return and recommend it to others.

During my stay at Radisson Blu Aleksanteri Helsinki, I spent the first night in a different room than the one I had originally booked. The room was small but nice, and the hotel compensated me for the inconvenience. From the second night onwards, I received an upgrade. The new room was spacious, comfortable, and well-appointed. Overall, my stay was very pleasant. The staff were all extremely friendly and accommodating. The hotel's location is very central, which made exploring the city easy and convenient. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

After staying in Jyväskylä, we visited Helsinki for a few more days. The Aleksanteri is about 15 minutes walk from the main central area where all the bars and shops are but Helsinki is a fairly compact city with a great bus/tram network. The hotel itself is really great. Comfortable rooms which are a good size, comfy beds, everything clean and tidy. The breakfast selection was amazing! Everything labelled which, being vegan, really helped select the right food. The staff were very friendly and polite all the time. Always happy to help. They also arranged a taxi for us back to the airport when the time came to (reluctantly) go home.
