The stafff. They did it again. If you have good staff like here then your stay will be a pleasure. They go out off there way to help you. Just ask and they will help you with everything! SUPER stafff. Nice kitchen and many cock there own food here. Me to. Nice dinning-tabel and nice sitting area where you can hang out and talk to everybody else. They have a sauna!!!! You have to pay extra, but it's there!! 1 minute to the supermarket and a few minutes and you have a number of supermarkets. I took the bus when I left. 2 minuts walk and then directly to the airport. Ask reception how to get a ticket. City-center is about 15-20 minutes walk from the hostel so it's easy.

A very comfortable and a very friendly place. I recommend staying in this hostel if you want to explore Suomenlinna. It is accessible from Helsinki by a ferry which travels 2-3 times an hour and is a part of the city public transport system. There is a shop in close proximity to the hostel which was quite handy, as we visited the island in low season in October when restaurants were already closed. The hostel offers complimentary tea and coffee, there are microwave ovens and fridges at each floor in dining areas. Clean and cosy.

All hostels in Helsinki

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The hostel is incredibly clean, organized and well equipped. Great location, close to the train station and walking distance to the main tourist atractions. The pre-checking is super good and cheers to the staff for the lovely letter and clear instructions. Probably one of the best hostels that I've ever been, congrats.

This must be our 5th or 6th stay at CheapSleep. The place is squeaky clean and offers everything one needs from a youth hostel. We stayed in a very comfy private room, the shared showers and toilets were extremely clean. The bus stop for the public airport bus is just a 2min walk away and the 24/7 supermarket in the same building comes in handy. Great value!

Price was good valve for a tight budget & the room was secure with passkey, which meant I could leave belongings safely behind whilst out and about. It was clean and had good facilities for a hostel.

It was the best hostel I've been. They have 8 bunk beds per room, but it is from a very good quality so theres no squeaking or any kind of annoying noise, the lockers under the bed have a really good size, you can fit around 2-3 lugadge of cabin size, and they also have an additiinal lugadge room. The kitchen and bathroom were very clean, and the commons areas very cozy and nice. The location is very good, with all kinds of public transportation in a radius of 2-3 blocks. And finally, the staff was absolutely lovely.
