Location was great and so was a price. People were nice and helpful. Early check-in was possible. It was quiet in the room, no disturbances.

Marek

Excellent location, good choice for budget travelers. If you are happy with a moderate room for a night or two, Both suits you well.

Great kitchen facilities with a grocery store next door.

Andy

Stuff very polite,friendly and helpful. The common area is very comfortable if you need waiting for check in early morning. We arrived in Helsinki at 5am and went to the hostel, so we had an opportunity to rest and even sleep in the common area

Alexandra

Very friendly staff, constant hot water flow, warm room, very spacious for a budget hotel, there is a small kitchenette and basic utensils are provided, which was great. The location is easy to find and accessible by tram from the train station. There are two supermarkets within walking vicinity. All in all we were very satisfied with our stay. :) Highly recommendable considering the price. :)

I got what I expected, which is a good thing. The only things I would like to point out were that there was hair on the shower cubicle, which means cleanliness was not 100%. Also hair on the pillow on the second bedroom I stayed at. And the possibility of an earlier check-in would be very good.

The room was pretty cold - the radiator didn't go very high (level 3 maximum) mensing we had to sleep in jumpers. Not to the point of shivering though! Just would have liked it to be warmer.
The staff were lovely and it was great value for money compared to other accommodation options. Simple and accessible, great location.

The room even has a stove with pots and pans and utensils that you can use during your stay. They also has free sauna in the morning!!! (pls check time with the reception for male/female). Both also has a luggage room that you can leave your bags if you still want to discover the city but you have to check out of the hotel. They also has bathrooms that you can use for bath or freshening when you come back at the hotel.

Bathrooms are small. Although perfectly functional, they were no luxuries included! Not a full set of cutlery in the room - not a huge issue, but would have been helpful when cooking for ourselves.
Room did exactly what was advertised. Kitchen facilities were handy. Hostel was clean and quiet and in a good location. Staff very helpful

“Cheap, good location - poor breakfast.”
- • Leisure trip

We were offered breakfast at an additional 5,50€, so we took them up on this offer as we thought it'd be easy, but the breakfast was extremely disappointing. I would expect far more than a croissant and a piece of fruit for that price. IT came with drinks and a tiny pot of jam, but it was still not worth the money, no matter what country we're in. The beds were pretty uncomfortable too. The bathroom light was very dull in our en-suite. I don't think this was a faulty light, I think it was choice.
The location was great, it was close to restaurants and the church built into the rock. We only stayed one night. The staff were very friendly and the place was clean. It is still very overpriced for what you get, but it's still one of the cheapest in Helsinki for what you get.
