    Little bit of a hike to get places.

    Friendly atmosphere and the staff were excellent. Also, close to important bus and tram stops.

    Some guests did not respect the quiet times on Saturday. The building entrance is not very warm or welcoming. Perhaps there could be some more style consideration in the rooms but that's not a priority.

    Breakfast was nice and not too crowded. The room was basic but had all the necessary things. Everything was clean to my standards. I liked that they had screens for buses and other transport arriving at nearby transit stops.

    It was a bit unclear who turns off the lights. I then took the initiative at 22:30, since nobody else did and turned them off and closed the windows.

    The staff is super friendly. When i asked if i could sleep in a ladies room, i was immediately given a bed in a ladies room. Also other questions and requests were immediately answered. Thanks a lot! Thanks for the free food! I slept well.

    Incredibly humid everywhere in the building to the point where it was unbearable. The rooms are generally dirty with dust just swept under the beds instead of being cleaned up, and smell musty because there's no ventilation. The rooms are small for the standard 18-bed set up. Every common room is crowded-even the kitchen at 2am has people milling around.

    The price is right. The staff are generally friendly and helpful. There's a direct airport transfer bus that has a stop right near the hostel plus other bus stops/tram stops close by.

    We were only here a night and didn't use the kitchen facilities (where in other reviews there had been negatives), so there are no negative points from us! It's possibly a bit further out the city, but this wasn't a problem for us.

    We had a 2 bed room and it was perfect for us! The staff were friendly and the room was clean. There was free street parking just outside the hostel as well. Rooms were secured with a keycard. WiFi was good. Good price.

    On my first stay I slept in a 16-bed mixed dormitory room and the display of the beds did not allow much privacy. I would recommend the 18-bed rooms instead.

    The layout of the 18-bed mixed dormitory room was great. Quite good quality/price ratio.

    Parking is free, but only in a few streets close to the hostel (you can get a map with the marked streets at the reception) - we arrived on a weekday at noon and found the last spot, so parking can be a problem. Despite this, it is so close to the center of Helsinki and at this price it is hard to count on a large parking lot.

    Well thought out hostel in close proximity to the center of Helsinki. Shared toilets, showers and kitchen well equipped and clean. Comfortable room, helpful and qualified staff. It's hard to ask for more at this price :)

    If you are lazy, the hostel is a bit far from the centre -but it has great transport connection-, takes you about 25 minutes by tram. The price makes the distance more than pero it

    Nice hostel not far away from city centre. It didn't feel like there were many people in 24-beds room, beds were separated by walls which even gave a little privacy. Bed was comfortable. Personnel was helpful. Breakfast was standard and quite good! Hostel is a good place to socialise as well.

    It was far from the city center, however the public transportation solved the issue. Also, it was hard to meet people, the hostel should invest in events so people can get to know each other - e.g. happy hour should be a bit later during the summer. :) any other than that, my staying was great!

    Even tough the rooms had more than 10 beds, it’s displayed in a way where it seems the guest is in a small room. For me, it was good. I had a sense of privacy that was lacking in the other hostels I stayed at. The facilities were always clean.

    There are no curtains on beds which is not very comfortable, and rooms welcome too much people (16...). Women's toilets in the morning at 8am are still dirty from the night before. People stealing food even when it is marked with your room's number. Prices for rooms are the cheapest of the city, still higher compare to ones of any other European hostel with similar standards.

    Access to the kitchen is good, beds are comfortable and common areas user-friendly. Also the activities proposed are fun to do. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
