clean helpfull staff location wi-fi free sauna

Aries71, Turkey

The hotel is in a student dormitory so the rooms were simple but comfortable. Really helpful staff. Underground packing.

Daniel, Romania

I liked that we were in a building separated from the main hostel. It had its own key. The receptionists were nice and helpful. Checking in was really fast, I could provide my data to the hostel before my travel. I had the option to store my luggage in a room next to reception before checking in. (We arrived in the morning.)

Attila, Hungary

The breakfast was very good. Also I liked to go to the Sauna.

Wiebke, Germany

The staff was friendly and accommodating, however, my room was quite dirty. There were dirty plates in the cupboard and a lot of grime on the floor and walls. The price to be honest was not worth the room. The location was quite good, however, I do not feel I would return there again.

Joshua, United States of America

Convenient location, at 30 meters supermarket. Quiet cozy courtyard.

Andrey, Israel

Well situated, at walking distance from the city centre, the railway station and other places of interest. Very friendly and helpfull staff. The rooms are basic but very spacious. No extra facilities in the room (television, shower gel, ... ) but we know this in advance and we don't really need this on a city trip.

Filip, Belgium

I used Hostel Domus Academica as my base as I visited Helsinki and neighboring cities. I stayed 3 times in a 10 day period. Each time in a different building. Each room was well equipped, clean and very comfortable. Each room had a small kitchen with stove, and refrigerator. One had an oven. The room had cooking items but you could also borrow additional items from the main kitchen. In building B and C, I was able to connect to the main Wifi from my room., though it was a little weaker from C. In building A, I used a router. The internet was fast and reliable. What I liked most was the staff. They were extremely helpful and friendly in a genuine way.

Carmen, United States of America

For an expensive city like Helsinki staying here is the ideal thing: the rooms are self-sufficient and clean and the location is well connected by public transport.

Giuseppe, Italy

Walking distance from main railway station, tram stops and city center. Quite close to the beach. Grocery shop K-market on the opposite side of the street. Room plain but clean, quiet and comfortable. Two single beds. In the kitchen part - basic stuff: mugs, plates and cutlery for two. Other stuff in common kitchen on ground floor.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“Good to stay!! Staffs are really nice! Clean room and good location, near the main bus station and metro. :)”

DONLII

Thailand

“Good location, quiet street, close to the city centre, either by walking (20 min) or bicycle (10 min). The twin room offers very good utilities (kitchen, fridge, private bathroom) for a longer stay in Helsinki. There is a supermarket across the street. The staff is very nice and ready to help with any information regarding the city, transport and places to see. They were very responsive and helped us with returning some belongings that we forgot in the room at check-out.”

Mihai

Romania

“Location, room size, very comfortable beds, kitchen, wifi worked in the lobby and room (our room was on 4th floor), friendly and helpful staff. Special thank you to spacious mirror / cabinet in the bathroom. Big wardrobe, lots of hanging space and shelves.”

“'Good value for money' accomodation close to the city center”

- • Economy Twin Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉There was no wifi in our room (building A) without renting a router. Come on! Is this really a problem in the 21st century? Please make it available everywhere. I would gladly pay a bit more for a room just to avoid the hassle of renting and installing a router. (It was my fault for not checking whether wifi is available everywhere, not just in the lobby.) The toilet in the bathroom was kind of dirty. It was cleaned, but this was the kind of dirt that accumulates over months on the inner bottom part of the toilet. (It is not a nice image, I know.)
눇I liked that we were in a building separated from the main hostel. It had its own key. The receptionists were nice and helpful. Checking in was really fast, I could provide my data to the hostel before my travel. I had the option to store my luggage in a room next to reception before checking in. (We arrived in the morning.)
