We arrived at the hotel around 12 noon and was greeted by a friendly associate who helped us with the check-in process. We got an upgrade to a Premium room perhaps due to my being a gold member although she did not mention it. Moments later, we got our room keys and were on our way to the 6th floor where our room is located.

CONCLUSION

On this trip, we had initially planned to stay a night in Malmö and a night in Copenhagen but since we were not sure Denmark would open their boundaries to the whole of Sweden, we decided to book two nights in Malmö instead. Radisson was running a promo that time with free breakfast and a 50 Euro voucher if you book 2 nights so we immediately grabbed it. The hotel itself is very nice and is centrally located. The rooms were big (we got an upgrade to their Premium Room) and the breakfast selection was very extensive. Of course, the 500 SEK voucher was a big plus as we were able to use it for our dinner on the first night. Lastly, the staff were all friendly and helpful. Overall, we really loved this hotel and would highly recommend it to everyone 😍 To all the staff of Radisson BLU Hotel Malmö, tack så mycket!
