Radisson Blu Hotel Espoo

Easy to find, pet friendly - pets are welcome for a fee (20 euro), a lot of green areas outside to walk dogs, there is a treat bag for dogs, a little bowl and towel for dogs, and it is possible to park in front of the hotel, the AC was not working but as it was cold outside we could open the window. Comfortable bed. There were a lot of Asian tourists so when we returned from our morning walk with the dogs we were like celebrities - everyone wanted to chat with us, pet dogs and take pictures :D Breakfast was nice - they had pineapple juice :P

The hotel is in Espoo, about 10km from the Helsinki City Centre. If you are visiting the university, it is a great place to stay. The Aalto university Metro is however only about 15 min away, and then about 20 min metro to the city. Metro is excellent - clean, fast, on time, regular etc. The location is right next to the sea, in a very quiet area. A running/walking trail extends from the hotel for about 7km around the sea - very nice to run. A nice supermarket is at the Metro, as well as an Espresso House (very nice coffee chain in Scandinavia). The room was very good, with everything that one needs, including an ironing board. An excellent design feature was a warm air vent in the cupboard, which dried the clothes in no time. The fitness area and sauna were very clean and neat, and everything worked well. The pool is quite large and was cristal-clear and clean. Breakfast was great - very large choice. Good coffee as well. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Great breakfast with a wide choice. Really helpful staff (thank you to whomever found me a band-aid!). The room was spacious and the amenities were plenty. Especially can advise to people with a visit to the Aalto university (5 min by car or a couple stops by public transport).

Big TV in the room, additional chairs and tables, a big mirror, a teapot included, and a good bathroom, and check-in is available till 3 am. Very helpful stuff as we weren't ready to check out at 12 pm, so they gave us additional 30 mins, which was life-saving.

The hotel is situated in a very nice and peaceful area. We lived in Helsinki for many years, so we knew to location. As parking a car in Helsinki is rather difficult and/or expensive, the Radisson Blue Hotel Espoo was the wisest choice with a large amount of parking place for free at the premise. The hotel is neat, clean, comfortable, and peaceful, and the service was swift.
