Tourist Inn Hostel in Helsinki was a fantastic place to stay. The room was modern, very clean, and extremely comfortable, providing everything I needed for a great visit. The bathrooms were spacious and spotless, which really added to the comfort. The facilities were excellent, with everything well-maintained and convenient to use. The location is another big plus—close enough to the city centre to get around easily, yet in a peaceful spot. Overall, this hostel strikes the perfect balance between comfort, cleanliness, and convenience. I’d highly recommend Tourist Inn Hostel to anyone visiting Helsinki, and I’d definitely stay here again.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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!

Price was good valve for a tight budget & the room was secure with passkey, which meant I could leave belongings safely behind whilst out and about. It was clean and had good facilities for a hostel.
