The comfortable beds with a curtains, electricity sockets near the bed, cozy atmosphere and the best bars nearby. Such a great place! Also I have to notice that hostel’s team always available in what’s up and always ready to help. One of the best places I’ve been. Respect to the hostel’s team for great service and organization

Anna Israel

The location of the hostel is perfect, super close to the main sights in Helsinki. The dorm bed is cozy and has everything you could want - a curtain, outlets, a light, and shelves. I never interacted with staff due to COVID guidelines but the check in/out process was super easy.

Caitlin United States of America

Great central location, rooms were clean, self service was actually as described, everything stealthily kept clean and functioning. As described. And super quiet eventhough it's right smack in the middle of Kamppi

Kailasht United States of America

The location is great, everything is close. The facilities have everything you might need. Lounge area is nice and cozy. The bed was comfy. Overall it's a pretty nice hostel.

Vasily Hungary

Basically everything. Perfect location, comfy beds, cool people, nice lounge.

David Hungary

Central location and, as a concept hostel, it has nice security for the rooms and perfect cleanliness.

Salih Finland

Very acceptable hostel, reasonably large room, comfortable space in the dorm room. Lounge area spacious as well with comfortable seating. Shared kitchen adequate but not much room for more than one or two cooking.

Robert United States of America

Love the location right down town. Also large rooms and large beds. All super clean and cozy. Love the curtains in the beds. Each bed has power and night light.

Oula Canada

Excellent location, very close to the railway station, and within walking distance to most of the attractions. Cozy lounge where people gathered and chat. Breakfast was simple but great. I had a single room and it was more spacious than I'd expected. Luggage storage (till 8pm), and I really appreciated that they let us hang out in the lounge even after checking out.

Ellen Hong Kong

Very friendly staff, ultra clean facilities, bathroom and showers are closed so you have privacy, and the location in prime! 5-10 minute walk to tourist places. Includes nice breakfast: amazing price-value in Helsinki
