okay hostel

It was fine. The beds were clean and the kitchen was cleaned daily. The couches had crumbs all over them and there were only one or two toilets for everyone staying in the hostel, so there was often a long wait in the morning. An okay budget option if the other hostels are booked. you get what you pay for. On the upside, it’s extremely close to the metro which will get you straight to Kamppi or Rautatientori, and Kallio is a fun neighborhood.

Good location bad bathrooms

My stay here was ok. It was a bit noisy by other guests. The bathrooms was the only real issue I had with this place. Only 2 toilets and 2 showers. There seemed to always be a line (at busy hours morning/night). The one bathroom had a really bad smell. Location was perfect. Took bus 615 from airport, the stop was just out the door across the street. Walking distance to down town Helsinki. Took me about 30 mins to walk but I stop lots to take photos.

スタッフの方が良い

スタッフの方は、とても良い人でした。 ベッドのシーツに清潔感が欠けていた。 目の前の道路が、工事をしていて朝7時からうるさかった。寝れなかった。 お風呂、トイレは全体で2つしか無いが混雑することは無かった。 少し周辺治安がフィンランドにしては良くなかった。

Noisy & Hot

People were out in the common area cooking and being noisy late into the night despite the posted quiet hours. The room was very hot - don't know why the blinds were open to let all the sun in before we arrived. The bathrooms were clean enough. Location was okay; not much around but close to a metro station. Probably won't be back if we visit Helsinki again.

I enjoyed the property overall, and the staff was very helpful. My only issue was the bathroom smelled very funky of seemingly all kinds of different smells. I recommend there being some sort of spray inside the bathroom in the back or something.

Hintaansa nähden kelvollinen

Oven takana pelattiin korttia/vast. myöhään yöhön. WC-jonottamista aamulla. Omaan makuun liian kuuma huoneilma. Muuten ajoi asiansa.

Everything is great.

The stay and everything was great. However, it's quite difficult to contact the staffs through email. Got my email replied almost a week later explaining that staffs are ill which is fair enough. Maybe it's just a one off case

An excellent choice for those looking for a cheap accomodation. The 8-person women-only dorm and the shared facilities were clean and tidy. Bed linens were nice and clean and the bed was comfortable, the only minus was that the pillow was too plump and hard for my taste. Maybe you could add a smaller and softer pillow alternative for the guests to choose from?
