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

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

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.

Gata, Poland

Great location close to all the city centre amenities

John, United Kingdom

Quite a bang for the buck. I got a private room with a private bathroom and functioning kitchenette. Overall it was well worth the money.

Atipong, Thailand

We chose this place because it was the cheapest place on booking when we were looking. we didn't want a dorm so this was it.

Traveler, Norway

Personal is really nice, I had a single room with fridge and mini-kitchen, shower and toilet which was nice. Wi/Fi is good in the room on 6th floor. Bed was very comfortalble. Probably best location in city center.

Evgeniy, Russia

Great staff! They were willing to help. Convenient equipment! I was able to cook in my room!

Ren-feng, Taiwan

“Expensive and dirty”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Single Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉You can leave luggage anytime, but the access to luggage room has pretty much anyone. You can in theory be a random guy and go there from a street and grab anything you want from that room and go away. Simple as that, it's not secured in any way therefore I wouldn't recommend leaving something expensive. My room was FULL of dark hairs - on a floor, on a bed and in bathroom. I have never seen anything like that in my entire life. They only changed sheets and bed prior to my visit, they didn't actually clean the room. Of course I told about it at reception and only to my luck (!!!) there was still a cleaning service in the building so they cleaned up my room after my complaint. Still bunch of hairs left in bathroom. Cups were in the sink and they were dirty (left by previous guests I guess, weren't cleaned up afterwards by workers of hostel), there was nothing I could use to wash them. No soap/shower gel in bathroom (you can take 1 at the reception if you lucky - by 6pm there was no shower gel, only soap left). Bed sheets weren't fresh - with yellow spots - disgusting. And I paid 55 eur for 1 night, I wouldn't call it fair price for what I got. This was my third time there actually, but it was the worst one. Previous were like 'ok, that should do', but this one - damn they didn't clean the room.
눇Personal is really nice, I had a single room with fridge and mini-kitchen, shower and toilet which was nice. Wi/Fi is good in the room on 6th floor. Bed was very comfortalble. Probably best location in city center.
