Scandic Grand Central is located at the Helsinki railway station and is arranged in the administrative building of the Railway Board, which was designed by Eliel Saarinen at the end of the 19th century and built at the beginning of the 20th century and expanded in 1938, later the headquarters of the VR corporation. The renovation of the old part, which lasted for a long time, was strictly supervised by the Finnish Museum Agency, after all, the entire facade, entrance hall, staircase and some of the rooms are protected by construction. The protection caused a lot of extra work, for example, the windows are original and all over 4,000 window frames have been restored by hand. The decorative paintings of the old part have been restored, and in connection with the construction work, original color tones have been found by removing the paint surfaces, which are repeated in the hotel even today.
For me, Radisson Blu Plaza is a hotel that I will return to again and again. It shows its best side to its guests who are not in a hurry. I have stayed at the Plaza in both basic rooms and suites. Some of the rooms facing the street are prone to night noise, especially on weekends. Then, on the other hand, the rooms on the courtyard side are completely quiet. Plaza's absolute specialty is the Plaza Lounge. It is a living room-like lounge space that you can access if you stay in a Business Class room or suite. The lounge is another reason to consider a business classroom. The snack buffet, which has drinks from 17-19, is especially excellent. Radisson Blu Plaza's breakfast is one of the best hotel breakfasts in Helsinki. The Plaza's breakfast area is very beautiful; the former exhibition hall is spacious and peaceful. Even if there are more people later in the morning, the chatter and chatter will not become annoying.
Bob W Koti Ullanlinna's thirty serviced apartments are in one stairwell on five floors. Downstairs, a concierge helps you get various services if necessary and guides you in using the home appliances in the apartments. There are four different sizes of apartments. Renovated in an old building, most apartments respect the building's history in style; some are more modern and slightly Scandinavian. All technology and household appliances affecting living comfort are modern. The apartments are decorated with a good sense of style, the materials are high quality, and the atmosphere is peaceful. The apartments could be compared to large junior suites or suites in hotels. Bob W Koti Ullanlinna is suitable for those who need longer-term accommodation. Regarding price, Koti Helsinki ranks at the level of the best hotels in Helsinki; the finishing and elegance are also in the same category.
