A very comfortable hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful located not more than 5 minutes walk from the central station and the main shopping area. We were there at Christmas and it was beautiful, with a snow covered city centre, in the evening we were able to walk in the park located immediately to the left of the hotel. During the day we walked to the shops including Helsinki's main department store Stockmann. The Plaza was even able to provide special pillows on request. Corporate it may be but the great style, restaurant and facilities, and is surrounded by restaurants bars and a casino (When I say surrounded they are all close, but not too close, if you know what I mean). We loved our stay in Helsinki though short and brief, we would go back and be very happy to stay at the Plaza.
I am told that more info is required, it is difficult because this is a typical corporate Radisson hotel, with Marble floors and large atrium style reception. I guess what is memorable other than its key location, and lovely staff is the magnificent Dinning room / resturant which serves both fantastic evening meals as well as the sort of "satisfying a need" food such as club sandwiches and great burgers. The breakfasts however were outstanding with one of the largest selections of hot and cold, fresh and traditional breakfast fare. It is everything you would want from a SASRadisson with the added bonus of a prime location, and lets face it if you are going to Helsinki, it is the location that you are after and the style and comfort of the hotel is a bonus... and the Plaza gifts a lovely bonus.

This is a good start and sounds like a nice place, however, to achieve higher ratings, you must include much more information. Perhaps you could look around at similar reviews to see the sort of thing that achieves higher ratings. If you update, leave a message in my guestbook and i'll re-rate :-)
