It has been 10 years since I last visited Radisson Blu Royal Hotel and their recently completed renovations really gives it a brighter and modern welcome. The super warm and friendly lady at the front desk on arrival was the beginning to my excellent stay at this hotel. I often opt to upgrade my original booking on arrival and there was certainly no regret in doing so, opting for the lovely Executive Suite (a shame there were major roadworks outside the hotel but this is beyond the hotel’s control). Breakfast was lovely, great buffet selection along with a cooked-to-order omelette. The bar and restaurant (NORD) were equally delightful with good drinks selection and lovely food. Also worth noting that the breakfast, bar and restaurant staff were fantastic. Housekeeping was faultless and made the overall stay really nice. Although I usually stay at the Plaza Hotel (mainly for convenience as it is next to the main station), the Royal Hotel is now, without doubt, my go to choice for Helsinki. The only minor markdowns are the on-site gym (still not ready), bar and restaurant not open on Sunday and towels that leave white fluffy bits on you. The room also needs some minor maintenance from previous guests that have not looked after it but the overall experience has been superb, in particular, the amazing staff that oversees the hotel.
