Everything was good except the washroom door lock needing replacement/repair and it was not done during my stay despite the note stuck to the door saying DoNot Use The Washroom. Further, there was no other option provided for the customers.

Very nice clean room, enough appliances, codes to your room, seperate womens only shower & bathroom. I had a view out on a parking lot but that does not matter since i didnt come here to just stare out the window. its not in the most prettiest of places but that also doesnt matter to me. If youre not into talking to people, then this hotel is perfect, i spoke to exactly 1 staff memver my whole week stay and it was on my own volition. Great for if youre introverted and just want to be alone. Not noisy. Free Tv, free fridge, clean linnens, nice bed, big window, free kettle and a sink in your room. Great deals for the price. I reccomend.

Dorm converted into hostel next to a university. 20min to center by metro, run every 15min. Dryer does not work too well, 3 hours cycle and cloths still damp.

Perfect for a weekend trip to Helsinki. A little bit of a way out of town but easy to get to with the local transport

Convenient location but noise through the night
Okay, it’s a hostel so you should be prepared for a spartan existence. Thumbs up to the 22:00-07:00 curfew. Thumbs down to the total lack of observance to this curfew. I was woken till 2am every night by loud mouthed neighbours, whose voices and mobile telephone music echoed up and down the hallway. And, forgot to mention this, there was no men’s loo or shower on the entire floor! So it’s a ‘NEVER AGAIN’ from me but if you are already rendered hard of hearing from Beats-perforated eardrums and don;t have to run a company from early morning then: GREAT! Otherwise, avoid....

Hello there and thanks a lot for your review! We're extremely sorry to hear that your stay didn't go as smooth as you've hoped! Unfortunately some people don't respect others rights for good night sleep between 22 and 7 o'clock. Our sincere apologies once again! Hopefully one day you'll consider visiting us again in the future :) Best regards, Olga/Forenom

Lovely beds
The hotel was easy to get to by bus. The beds where very comfortable, better than my bed at home. The room was clean, but the shared facilities, like the little kitchen was not very clean. Also there where no plates and cutlery on our floor of the hotel, so we had to hunt for them elsewhere. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and very quiet, with little noise from traffic or neighbors.

Yleiset tilat kauheassa kunnossa. Suihkun viemäri ei vetänyt, suihkun pidike rikki ja kiinni kolmella laastarilla seinässä. Suihkutilassa ei mitään paikkaa pesuaineille.. oli pidettävä pestessä kädessä, koska lattialla niin paljon vettä, että olisivat kelluneet pesuvedessä. Keittiö ankea. Huone oli siisti ja sänkyjen patjat hyvät. Ilmastointi toimi.

Kaipaisi parempaa siivousta
Huone oli epäsiisti, verhon takana oli suuria lasinsiruja. Lattia ja seinä oli törkyinen ja kaapin päällä likainen juomalasi. Televisioon ei ollut kaukosäädintä. Vessassa ei käsipaperia.

Pieni sänky ei soveltunut minulle, mutta valitettavasti se oli parasta paikassa. Hinta laatu shde tosi huono.

A decent place, good service when called on phone. The room had a really loud ventilation, that made it hard to sleep. Shared kitchen and shared showers.

Parkkipaikka merkitty huonosti
Parkkipaikka vaikea löytää ilman asiakaspalvelusta erikseen pyydettäviä ohjeita. Tämä pitäisi kyllä laittaa kuntoon asap! Huoneilma hieman tunkkainen. Muutoin hinta-laatu-suhde ok.

no recibi las llaves, no me regresaron el dinero
Pesimo, no pude comunicarme al hotel, termine no hospedandome porque el codigo que me mandaron no funcionaba, la pase terrible viendo donde quedarme. La maquina que te da la llave tiene camara pero es demasiado alta, mido 154 cm de puntitas no me veia yo creo nose si por eso nunca abrio. No me quisieron regresar el dinero aunque su clave no funcionó y tuve que hospedarme en otro lugar

Yleiset tilat ja osa huoneen varustuksesta oli todella huonossa kunnossa ja suorastaan rikki. Huoneiden äänieristys oli huono, ihmisten liikkeet käytävällä kuului täysin selvästi huoneen sisälle. Lisäksi majoituspaikassa ei ole hissiä, mikä voi tulla liikuntarajoitteisille ikävänä yllätyksenä.
