to get started.

Great location! Much of what we wanted to see was about max 30 mins away walking. The room was comfortable and cozy. We loved having a kitchenette and being able to cook when we felt like staying in, there was a brush and detergent to clean crockery.

I stayed in Both Hotel for 1 night only. A lot of rooms are occupied by exchange students and in general the hotel looks like a school residense. It has basic facilities, but there is everything needed in the room (kitchen, wardrobe, desk and bed). My room was clean and looked fine.

Good value for money. Staffs are nice and speak English. comfortable and clean room. 5 minutes walk to Kamppi mall and 10 minutes walk to the central station. Private kitchen in the room with all the kitchen kits. Private room is spacious enough. Near to a K-market grocery store. I am able to leave my luggage in the storage for the first day of my stay before checked in.

Location was very convenient (less than 10mins walk from Kamppi metro which is one stop from the main central train station; convenient if taking the train in from the airport). Room was basic (as expected), clean and comfortable. Stayed one night and would definitely stay again!

they did not have enough electric kettles so we had to use little pan to get boiling water - we managed but it is nice to have proper kettles.
It is clean and everything is just enough including little kitchen and bathroom. Everything is in walking distance including supermarket, stations and all shops.

Prices in the hotel for breakfast and magnets could be lower. Rooms do not have equipment like iron or hairdryer but you can always ask staff for providing.
Well placed hotel near city centre in Kamppi district. Although it is clearly visible that in the past it was a student house conditions are ok. It is hard to find in Helsinki something better for this price. Staff is very helpful too.

Conveniently located for trans and buses, and within an acceptable walking distance of the main railway station.

“Price didn't match expectations and no cosy vibe.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 1 night
The hostel was very unpersonnal, it wasn't very cosy at all. There was no common room and thus no possibility to meet other internationals. Eventhough, meeting new people is why hostels are so great. The beds were great, but the pillows were way too hard. Furthermore, the breakfast was way too little for the price paid. It wasn't sufficient en the choice was very limited. Besides that, only single use cups, plates and other things were used. Not very sustainable, just excessive waste for no reason.
The location of the hostel was good, it was not that far from the city center and could easily be walked. The rooms are very big and there is enough space, even when you sleep with four persons in a room. Furtermore, the beds were great.

Maybe some grade solution for the WC, because the water keeps in the floor even if we try to clean it. Nothing too bad, just a detail!

It's a strange feeling when you're alone in the number for a long time and somebody comes only at the night :) Actually, I think it's a very good place (maybe even the best place) to stay in Helsinki when you don't want to spend too much money.
It was a comfortable hostel room with 2 sections. In the first section (closest to exit) is a kitchen, the second section is combined with the bathroom. I had only one neighbor who'd come when it was about 2am. He'd quickly gone to sleep and woke up and gone before I woke up. Everything was quite good, the kitchen is convinient, with dishes and etc, there're soap and toilet paper in the bathroom. The hostel placed in the center of the city, that makes it a good place to stay when you go somewhere else after Helsinki.
