Everything was easy, and the whole process of checking in and out was a breeze. No pressure that made the stay convenient as we are then able to explore more of the area. Very near the VR station but if you are carrying heavy luggage, it's best to take taxi as it's slippery and hard to pull on the melting snow. Near grocery stores and 15mins walk to Centre for Restos. The Hostel is complete, can cook freely at the kitchen ( tho kitchen needs atleast monthly deep cleaning just to avoid getting sticky) Common area is big space with a nice frozen sea view, relaxing. Was apprehensive to book shared space but with its price, it has offered more than expected. Highly reccommended for budget travelers!

We don’t have hostels in the US- people are different there. It’s nice to share a space with people from around the world and see how respectful they are of the host, other guests and the facilities. Great prices. The top bunk is tiny to get into- as an adult and more challenging to get out of.

It’s not far from Kemi bus station. Very quiet area. I arrived much earlier than 15:00 due to the flight schedule, but he let me in and I was able to take a rest. Free tea or coffee are available. It’s nice!

The best in Kemi for a budget traveller

Really nice small hostel in the centre of Kemi. Showers and toilets are at the corridor, but everything is really nice & clean. Everything works on key codes. Parking is free outside on the street. Big breakfast room and there is a small fridge in every room.

Very nice place. Even though the building was old it was in a ok shape. The cleaning could be made more thorougly. You could see in the corners that the cleaning has been made quite lightly for a long time :(

Simple but enough hostel for the night

The hostel was clean and all instructions were sent before we arrived. We have never seen anyone from the hostel, nor got instructions for the sauna. The place was clean and calm. We would have appreciated to have a twin bed option or be abte to bring the beds together. We stayed only for one night in Kemi and this was enough and satisfying, train station and restaurants are walking distance from the hostel

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Worst hostel experience. We booked a room with 3 beds for 3 people, and were assigned to a room with 2 beds. When the customer service finally picked up they were very casual about it, saying that it’s not the first time it happens and that it’s an Elixpedia bug that lets people book 3 bed rooms when they’re actually 2 beds. In the end they told me by phone they had an extra bed by the elevators, so we took it into the room. We unfolded it and to be honest the small room was quite cramped with the 3 beds, but the worst part was that the bed was not stable, it moved and squeaked at my every movement, I think it was broken. Apart from that, it was the dirtiest hostel I’ve been too. There are hairs and dirt everywhere in the bathrooms - floors, showers, bathtub, you name it. As if it hasn’t been cleaned for weeks, with this many people sharing bathrooms you need to clean them more often. To top it off, many things were “out of order” - the elevator was out of order, one of the saunas was out of order… We paid 387€ for 3 nights, honestly it’s not expensive but it wasn’t cheap either, we were just expecting at least to have some cleanliness and comfort.

Not sure what this was, but not going back

The building is an old residential building converted to something they call a hostel but is closer to a hippie commune. It's poorly maintained and some of the choices done during the conversion are borderline illegal (take for example placing a shower cubicle around a sprinkler). Lack of maintenance leads to problems with windows as well as heating, causing a freezing cold bathroom with only -3 C outside. Also not great for the environment. Just fix the seal in the windows, air your radiators, and you'll get away with half the heating. Can't say anything about service as there is none, full self-service. The bed was comfortable and the sheets clean, so at least there's that. Even considering the cheap price, I won't be visiting them again. To me the lack of personnel on site, the lack of maintenance and the type of clientel just scream that this place is going to burn down sooner or later. To be honest, you should not even be allowed to operate like this in the first place, but I suppose that's Kemi for you.
