Great base for exploring the city as it's about 10 minutes' walk to the city centre and train station. Everything was simple but functional; the single room was essentially an apartment/dorm room with a shower, fridge, sink, stove, and lots of shelves and cabinets. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. The common area is big and comfortable, and a great place to meet other guests.

OK - its not a hotel so the room was a bit spartan + yes there wasn't any soap provided - but all and all a nice place to stay. I heard some complaints about the wifi but mine was fine.

Howard, Canada

Reception staff are willing to help guest sincerely, Facility(Kitchen, shop, Laundry-service, Even Sauna) is perfect

Sangyoub, Brazil

Receptionists were VERY, VERY friendly and helpful.

Hedy-reet, Estonia

Rooms and the hostel itself are very quiet despite they're rather popular among students and low budget travelers. We where given a warm welcome, arriving early in the morning, the check-in service was really very fast. Location is best!

Maksim, Russia

For a hostel every thing was provided or availible

Lloyd, United Kingdom

Good location, room was very simple but okay, bathroom was large. Good choice for those who want to save money and are not looking for luxury.

Saila, Finland

Perfect location. Very professionally run place. Has all facilities imaginable. Close to church on the rock and HSE.

Recentbrit, United Kingdom

small fridge and kitchen in the room was useful. Triple room was spacious and bathroom was clean. Location was great for exploring most of central Helsinki by foot (most things within a 30 min walk, and that which is not was easily reachable by public transit).

Sue, Germany

Fast check in and positively surprised about the room. We stayed only one night but the stove and fridge are excellent for longer stays (but you need to bring your own cookware). The beds were comfortable and the view from the window was nice. A balcony in the hallway was a plus, so you didn't need to go to ground floor to smoke. Quiet, perfectly situated and totally worth the money!

One of our top picks in Helsinki.

This property is a 12-minute walk from the beach. Only a 5-minute walk from Kamppi Metro and Bus Station, this eco-friendly hostel offers a free morning sauna. Free WiFi is available in the common room and lobby area, while wired internet access is possible in the rooms.

눉Rooms are in a poor condition with worn down furniture. Ours was apparently not cleaned at all. Stains on the floor, dirty towel and an empty beer can in the bathroom. Blood drops (!) on the shower door and around the bathtub - these remained even after the extra cleaning we were promised by the front desk upon reporting our problems.
눇Close to the city center.
