The stafff. They did it again. If you have good staff like here then your stay will be a pleasure. They go out off there way to help you. Just ask and they will help you with everything! SUPER stafff. Nice kitchen and many cock there own food here. Me to. Nice dinning-tabel and nice sitting area where you can hang out and talk to everybody else. They have a sauna!!!! You have to pay extra, but it's there!! 1 minute to the supermarket and a few minutes and you have a number of supermarkets. I took the bus when I left. 2 minuts walk and then directly to the airport. Ask reception how to get a ticket. City-center is about 15-20 minutes walk from the hostel so it's easy.

I was satisfied from first moment when the person on reception was kind and welcomed me with smile. Room was nice and clean, there was a nice kitchen with lot of tools, so it was no problem to cook/bake something. Maybe only disadvantage is only one shower, but it is no problem. People in the room were quiet and respectfull.

Nice spacious individual space inside the dormitory, plenty of dining space, lots of activities and a good size kitchen.location is pretty good, just need to take tram 7 to get to the city, and it's really not very far. Because each floor has a large number of dormitories, you get to see a bunch of interesting people too. The staff were really helpful too

Reading the reviews of weird people, the ones who pretend to pay 1€ and expect champagne in the room, I was a bit scared! I was really surprised: 5 minutes because of snow from trams and trains going everywhere; 4 supermarkets in the range of 100 meters, easy to find, right behind the Indian Restaurant, clean, tidy, kitchen with everything; microwave and kettle in the room, beautiful view of the city and sufficiently warm! First night it was a bit noisy until 2am but because of two unpolite girls next room. It will be my first choice if I go back to Helsinki

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The hostel is incredibly clean, organized and well equipped. Great location, close to the train station and walking distance to the main tourist atractions. The pre-checking is super good and cheers to the staff for the lovely letter and clear instructions. Probably one of the best hostels that I've ever been, congrats.

    This must be our 5th or 6th stay at CheapSleep. The place is squeaky clean and offers everything one needs from a youth hostel. We stayed in a very comfy private room, the shared showers and toilets were extremely clean. The bus stop for the public airport bus is just a 2min walk away and the 24/7 supermarket in the same building comes in handy. Great value!

    It was the best hostel I've been. They have 8 bunk beds per room, but it is from a very good quality so theres no squeaking or any kind of annoying noise, the lockers under the bed have a really good size, you can fit around 2-3 lugadge of cabin size, and they also have an additiinal lugadge room. The kitchen and bathroom were very clean, and the commons areas very cozy and nice. The location is very good, with all kinds of public transportation in a radius of 2-3 blocks. And finally, the staff was absolutely lovely.
