Clean hostel at hostel rates
Easy check in. Twin room was tight but warm and clean. Shared bathroom which had plenty of facilities and clean. Shared kitchen seemed fine although I didn’t use it. Just needed somewhere to sleep for a couple of nights so was fine. Not fancy but seemed a good hostel.

This was my first experience with a hostel and I have to say it was very pleasant. The staff was friendly the place was clean, and as a solo female traveler I like me and my stuff was safe and secure.

Staff were very helpful and friendly and the place was cleaned regularly. Transport links were just outside the door, alongside a supermarket. Lovely little coffee shop close by in the wooden house district and excellent drinks and Russian dumplings at Pikku-Vallila round the corner. Would definitely recommend!

good hostel to stay, cosy and very friendly staff, the only problem was the state of the common kitchen. There were only 6 fires for several hundred guests and the sinks were had mold growing in the wood of the counters.

Better than expected. It was affordable, the staff was nice and the availability of transit passes to go around Helsinki was very much appreciated. That said, unfortunately the area surrounding the hostel does not have a lot of restaurants around, so you'd have to walk for about 15-20 mins to find an area that has a variety of restaurants.

This is a cheap place to stay, as the name implies. So I suppose it's not fair to expect too much. That said, it has a bit of a grungy feel to it, which made me uncomfortable. The bed was fine (clean), but whole place smelled a bit musty, and especially the bathroom, which is also the shower room (rows of toilet stalls on one side, shower stalls on the other). I enjoyed the breakfast, and it wasn't a bad price (by Finland prices). They do charge extra for a towel (3€ at the time of the review), so bring your own if you can. As their own pictures show, the beds do not have any curtains or other ways to make yourself not visible to others in the room. Each room (which can have lots of beds in it, depending on your booking) has a locked door that can only be opened from the outside by keycards belonging to those staying in the room, and that provides some sense of security and privacy. Lockers are available for storing valuables. Overall, it was probably worth the cost. But I didn't enjoy the "vibe" of the place. If I'm back in Helsinki, I would see if I can find a cleaner, more appealing place to stay at.

We stayed in a private room and it was fine. The kitchen was too small/crowded to use. Staff was friendly and helpful.

I mean, you get what you pay for. It’s cheap, but serviceable. The beds are very squeaky so hope you get a bunk mate that doesn’t move so much. The reception gives out earplugs. Bring your own towel and slippers.

It was fine, but seemed to be at capacity when I was there, so in a 16-bed dormitory that means people are coming in throughout the night and it might be hard to get a good night's sleep. There wasn't much space to sort out your stuff; but it was nice to get lockable cabinets (keycard). You don't need to bring your own padlock, but you might want to bring a towel, ear plugs or slippers. The kitchen is well equipped, but you might have to wait to use it. One sink for perhaps fifty people on that floor.

Good location. Close to lots of public transit. Very easy to get around. Not the nicest in terms of cleanliness, but still ok. I just feel as though the cleaning staff should come around more often. Layout is also a bit odd being on two different levels separated by a gym on the 3rd floor. Still enjoyable, just have to get used to it.
