Helsinki Hostellit

Plussat: Henkilökunta teki olon tervetulleeksi. Hostelli on kauniissa, vanhassa rakennuksessa aivan keskustassa.

Plussat: Hyvin siisti, sänky hyvä ja huoneessa oma pesuallas.

Miinukset: Ei omaa kylpyhuonetta

Plussat: Ihanan kodikas, siisti ja puhtaalle tuoksuva paikka. On kuin kotiinsa tulisi.

Plussat: Very Good location for me.

Miinukset: I think it need to have more Shower booths..

Plussat: Staff is very nice!!!!!

Miinukset: Some shared toilets are small

Plussat: Nice and friendly staff, efficient check-in even though I arrived late. Location is excellent, I only had one day in Helsinki before travelling further, but thanks to the great location I got to see a large part of Helsinki in only a few hours. The building in itself is also very nice.

Miinukset: The shared dorm is nice, but felt a bit cramped when everyone was in there. Not a problem when staying only for one night, but something that might get annoying when staying for a few nights in a row.

Plussat: Great location, twin room spacious enough for 2 people

Miinukset: Poor insulation, too much door slamming! The toilets are really really small !

Plussat: Location was great and staff very helpful.

Miinukset: Nothing really

Plussat: Sujuva sisäänkirjautuminen. Laukkusäilytys.

Miinukset: Sänky oli järkyttävä ja pilasi yöunet. Patja likainen ja ”kuollut” käyttömäärästä. Huono ilmanvaihto huoneessa.

Plussat: Ihanan puhdasta, hyvä asiakaspalvelu

Plussat: Close to the centre, well equipped kitchen, the single room was a good size.

Miinukset: Incredibly noisy - I paid for a single room so I wouldn’t be disturbed by other people, but it was right next to the kitchen/common room area. This would have been fine as the kitchen was supposed to be closed between 11pm-5.30am, but people would still go and sit in there after this time talking and making noise so I got very little sleep. If I’d known this was to be the case, I wouldn’t have bothered to pay extra. Also there are only 2 showers and 3 toilets which doesn’t seem enough for the amount of people who stay there.

Plussat: I really liked the Kitchen with free coffee and tea which was really nice. It was clean, had mostly what I needed and space was quite large and neat.

Miinukset: Bed and room equipment was not that great, but it wasn't that bad either. Rooms need more vent and theiy are a bit small to fit so many beds.

Plussat: The staff was so friendly and helpful! Carried my two heavy luggage in the stairs for me! Nice location! Almost in front of the subway and a bus station and not very far from the center! Not that expensive for Finland!

Miinukset: Some more showers/toilets would be greatly appreciated! Queuing is not fun! The hostel could maybe use a little bit more amenities

Plussat: Great, helpful, caring and incredibly polite staff. Really tidy. Close everywhere -- walking distance to Kauppatori. All the facilities you can need in the kitchen. Free coffee. Sauna...^^'

Miinukset: - During my stay, there was a renovation behind the window -- not really their fault... - One or two more showers won't hurt

Plussat: En huomannut kroisantteja!

Plussat: Location is excellent for whose who likes to open new sides of Helsinki. It was too noisy as the city streets still under repairing! Nice clean shower and lobby. There are many vegetarian food eateries and bars around as well.

Miinukset: Note: You should take a towel from your home if you are not ready to pay for that. Dormitory is too small and has no air-condition. The price for 1 bed seemed like for a small single room.

Plussat: I have to point out that the staff was beyond excellent here. They did me a great service because I accidentally booked one day late, and came at night, so they helped me out and gave me the last spot available (in the dorm), being really nice about it. They also helped with questions and really took and interest. Just on that basis I feel uneasy giving this place a score below 10, but that would be dishonest—other than the staff, there were unfortunately some major problems. * Besides the staff, cleanliness was overall good, so it was pleasant to stay in the common room and talk to other guests. * The dorms have large lockers that might fit a trolley, and definitely a backpack.

Miinukset: * The guest house is right next to a construction site, which starts work at 07:00. This is not a building, but a light rail on ground level, i.e. super extremely noisy. I can't imagine anyone being able to sleep like this. If you don't plan on getting up at 07:00, it is unbearable. Not their fault, but there is also no warning about this anywhere. * While again I was helped by the staff in the middle of the night, so cheers to them, it was not helpful that there was no way to call them without actual calls on my SIM. The place completely shuts down at 20:00. The "emergency" number to call staff doesn't include WhatsApp, Telegram, Skype or anything that can let me call them with data only; it would also be helpful to have a physical phone to call their number. Many tourists nowadays don't have non-data calls when traveling. * There is no way to even enter the entrance corridor (before the locked guest house) without a code. This might be good for security, but I can imagine that in winter at night one could freeze if the door is shut and nobody answers. They said they tend to send out an email on the previous day with the code, but what if I just landed and couldn't see it? Ideally it should be sent at least a week in advance so that there's ample time to find it and write it down. Even if the guest cancels the booking later, it doesn't seem like a big deal security-wise. * There are theoretically three bathrooms, but one is just a shower and another is a joint toilet/shower—so long showers mean just one toilet left; and that toilet has no air circulation. At "peak hours" in the morning and evening, consider that you might need to look elsewhere for a toilet. The private room doesn't have its own toilet.

Plussat: Friendly staff, good and convenient location. The kitchen is good and well equipped.

Plussat: Absolutely Scandi attitude, which I find great. Easy self check-in with instructions, close to the city center. Regarding the price, has all you need.

Miinukset: A little messy with the shoes on the entrance

Plussat: It’s actually near to the historic kotiharjun sauna which is a good reason to stay here. The reception is professional and kind towards hostellites. The kitchen is comfy and is very well equipped and well maintained. The mattress is comfortable. I would stay here again if there are no comparable options nearer to town. Book requests are well attended to.

Miinukset: There’s just one shower and two washrooms for about 20 beds, but I didn’t encounter any queue. It’s about 30 minutes walk to town but near to bus stops and the metro station.

Plussat: I like the location. So close to Suvilahti.

Plussat: Siisti, rauhallinen ja mukava sänky.

Miinukset: Kaksi vessaa ja suihkua on liian vähän ottaen huomioon sänkyjen määrän.

Plussat: Even though it is bit far from the very center it is right next to a metro station. The rooms were clean and beds comfy. Also has a fully equipped kitchen and a small sauna which you can rent :)

Miinukset: Only two bathrooms/toilets for the whole floor, one connected with a shower so one toilet was almost constantly blocked by people taking a shower there.

Plussat: Bathroom and room were clean. Staff was helpful. :)

Plussat: Hinta ja lastu ok

Miinukset: Sägyt oli kovia ja huonoja

Plussat: They clean the bathrooms early in the morning with a loud water hoose

Miinukset: The loudness. The bed could have a real mattress instead of a foam.

Plussat: Sijainti ja edullisuus

Miinukset: Käytävät olivat kokolattiamatto ja tunkkaiset. Onkohan lemmikit sallittuja tässä hotellissa, haju oli sellainen

Plussat: Staff was really helpful and location is really good. Also Restaurant is awesome.

Miinukset: The all corridor was really smelly for 4 days I have to sleep while Windows are open and use house odors to avoid bad smell. Showers were inconvenient some of them has transparent doors, and blankets doesn't seem clean so I have to cover everything with bed linens before I sleep

Plussat: Lovely apartment, well located. Super clean and comfortable. Had everything you needed.

Miinukset: There is a bar on the ground floor so it could get a little noisy at night and the entrance often smelled strongly of smoke.

Plussat: Ystävällinen, kielitaitoinen ja avulias henkilökunta. Hiljaiset huoneet. Yleiset tilat oli viihtyisät ja siistit.

Miinukset: Suihkutila olisi kaivannut siivoamista, mutta voi olla, että osuin vaan huonoon aikaan sinne, sillä muuten hostelli oli oikein siisti. Aamupalalle olisin toivonut muutakin hedelmää/vihannesta kuin mauttomia ulkomaalaisia kurkkuja ja tomaatteja.

Miinukset: For that price in most EU states one could have a four-star accommodation, with breakfast included. This was the standard of just an average student dorm.

Plussat: We booked a twin room with shared bathroom. Considering the high prices in the city it wasn’t so expensive, there were only 2 toilets on the floor all well cleaned. Comfortable showers. Free sauna from 7 till 10 in the morning. The facilities are all there, towels, bed linen, toilet paper, you can also borrow a hairdryer for free with a little deposit. Reception open 24 hours, personnel always available. Ideal position in the city centre, very easy to reach and to move from there.

Plussat: Good location Cheaper of expensive Helsinki accommodation Cleaners were great

Miinukset: Showers need more privacy & shelving Very hard bed Elevator is dangerous. Almost amputates your limbs upon closing Perhaps better to have complimentary sauna in evening rather than morning

Plussat: I enjoyed both the style and the service. My room was clean, provided with what one might need, and relatively silent. Check in and was super easy, the staff very friendly. There is a luggage storage room for people leaving the city after check out time. I did not get to try it, unfortunately, but if I understood correctly the sauna is free in the evening.

Plussat: Helppo löytää perille (ratikalla 4) keskustasta. Ystävällinen henkilökunta. Siistit huoneet.

Miinukset: kova patja. Tuntui sairaalalta. Vastaanottokerroksen sisäilmassa jotain ongelmia.

Plussat: Oma huone.

Miinukset: Yhteissuihku ja - WC.

Miinukset: the sign is too small to notice it at night. The hotel consists of some rooms on the 5th floor and when you enter the main floor there are no signs to direct you to reception. The room was small too. 2.5by 3.5m2. Too noisy as it was next to small common balcony.

Plussat: Hinnasta ja sijainnista.

Miinukset: Ei suomenkielistä vastaanottoa. Vaikea löytää, vain mtättömän näköinen nimi kohteesta.

Plussat: -Location. -Good sound isolation.

Miinukset: -the amount of room is at a hostel pattern while shower, kitchen, dining area are at a nuclear family house pattern. -Strict check-in time, luggage store is impossible for early-arrived tourists. then, how about check out first, hang out a bit and come back to get luggage? It costs you €5 euros even though barely no one watch over your luggage. Take my experience for example, we checked out at 10:00 and came back at 14: 20. The staff might keep an eye on luggage but for just 20 minutes (staff start to work at 14:00) while the rest of the 4 hours our luggage remained unattended, but we were still asked to pay €5 for this "service". PS. the price of a single ticket from city center to vantaa airport is €4.60.

Plussat: Price

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Yet, charming hotel, with the old building elevator and doors. Kind and helpful person at the reception.

Miinukset: Small room, quite old building and furniture, difficult access with luggage. Shared bathroom and shower, everything utilitarian.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Only 1 shower

Plussat: Location , clean room as well as the bathroom

Miinukset: Check in time

Plussat: The tram stop was right in front of the hotel, which was great. The entrance was easy to find and we were being welcomed in a friendly way. The hotel is located a one-minute walk away from Helsinki's central square and Helsingin Tuomiokirkko. No street noises. The toilets and room where clean and more spacious than expected.

Miinukset: Komerossa olevat vanhat putkitelevisiot voisi viedä kierrätyspisteeseen.

Plussat: Everything fine,but he free wifi did not work,tried it several times.

Plussat: Hyvä hinta-laatusuhde. Paikka on vaatimaton, mutta kaikki tarpeellinen on tarjolla. Aamulla saa kahvia, ja pääsee istuskelemaan kauniille parvekkeelle :)

Plussat: for those who like cozy places with character. Very nice and clean. Well equipped kitchen. Lovely balcony in common area. Definitely will stay there again. Pluses - cozy, clean and great location

Plussat: Free parking for cars
