Last June I visited a client of ours in Helsinki, Finland. I stayed in Helsinki for a week and had quite a good time. Earlier that year, I also visited Helsinki for a while with several sort of colleagues of mine but this time was definitely a different experience with temperatures 25 to 30 degrees hotter than in February :).

I stayed in the Radission Sas Seaside hotel next to the harbor. There are two Radisson Sas hotels in Helsinki as far I know and this one is a little further out of town than the other. But that’s not a big deal, as even from this one to the Kampii shopping mall (right in the heart of the city) is only a 5-minute walk.

The hotel is okay. The italian restaurant next to it is quite good too. As far as I can remember, Internet in the hotel is free of charge, which is a rather rare experience (and I think that’s stupid, but well, that’s just me I guess).

Update: hey, I just saw this one doesn’t have pictures yet. I guess I’ll have to do that a little later… can’t find them right now.
