I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is absolutely fantastic, being right in the center of Vaasa, which made it super convenient for exploring. The rooms were clean and spacious, but the noise from the ventilator outside my window made it hard to sleep well. The staff were really friendly and helpful, which definitely added to the experience. On the dining front, breakfast was quite good, but again, I would have appreciated a few more options.

The hotel had a great location, right in the center of town, making it super convenient for shopping and dining. My room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. However, the dining options could use a little more variety, especially at breakfast. Overall, it felt like good value for money, but I wish the breakfast had more choices.

I had a rather mixed experience at the hotel. While the location is absolutely fantastic, right in the heart of everything and close to the ferry, the rooms left a bit to be desired in terms of comfort and amenities. The service was pretty good, which was a nice touch, but the dining experience could definitely be improved with more options. Overall, it offers a good value for money considering its prime location but expect some compromises on the facilities.

The hotel has a great location right in the heart of town, making it easy to explore shops, restaurants, and the nearby market square. However, the rooms are quite outdated and not up to Radisson's usual standards, and the service left a bit to be desired. While the breakfast setting has some charm, the overall experience didn't feel like good value for money.

Rooms

The rooms felt old and were in a ragged state, with stained bedclothes and furniture that seemed better suited for a hostel than a Radisson. They were spacious and had all the necessary amenities, but cleanliness and upkeep were definitely lacking.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of downtown near the railway station and market square.

The service was also a strong point, with friendly staff who were quick to help out. On the downside, the rooms were a bit noisy and the furniture seemed outdated.
