    I was a bit noisy during the night due to an opened window and a big street outside.

    Good location, availability of free parking space next to the hostel. Nice staff at the reception.

    Their breakfast is overpriced for what you get, but you don't need it when there's an Alepa downstairs.

    It's a great place if you just need to stay somewhere for a couple of nights. No luxury, but you get everything you need. It's usually not extremely noisy either.

    I would rate it as 10 but the i really struggled with toilets. There was no exhaust system in the toilet on floor no 4 so whenever u walk in, u always smell pee which gave me soo much ick.

    the hostel and staff was amazing and helpful they even allowed me to keep my luggage and let me sit there for hours even after i checked out.

    I stay in the 2nd floor, so it is like walk-in shower which I dont like much although the bathroom is clean. I wish it is a closed bathroom. I have heard they have bathroom in the 4th floor but it just takes much effort to go up.

    Good location, easy to access the center. The people are nice and the place is clean.

    Even though the night is very cheap, everything else was being charged, like towels, slippers, chargers. The rooms felt small and crowded.

    A very cheap price and a place full of people to meet and socialize. The rooms were a bit small, but clean and the location is good considering the public transport connections.

    Not a complaint, just a suggestion. My roommates put all their luggage right in front of the lockers in the room so I couldn't use mine. It was late at night so I decided not to wake them up because of that, but it was very upsetting. Maybe it would be a good idea to put some sort of a sign on the lockers to remind people not to block the way for other guests.

    Bus goes straight from the airport almost right to the hostel. Nice staff, cosy place. I didn't use the kitchen or showers but everything was clean and seemed to be in good condition. No complaints at all.

    Although there are lots of female travellers staying here in the evening there are only men in the common spaces which can make it feel uncomfortable at times

    Really close to tram lines so it’s not far into central Helsinki

    The hostel is far from the city center, so taking the tram is essential. Each bunk bed lacks a curtain, and the lower bunks have almost no space to hang clothes. With many beds in one room (I stayed in a 16-bed dorm), people tend to come and go frequently at night. The chances of having inconsiderate roommates are also higher. In addition, because the reception is open 24 hours (which can be a plus for some), there’s a good chance of people entering or leaving during the night. A truly restful night’s sleep is not guaranteed, so I wouldn’t recommend it to light sleepers. During the day, someone in the room might be sleeping, making it awkward to turn on the lights. Towel rental is not free — it costs €3.

    For Finland, where prices are generally very high, this hostel is relatively affordable. Large lockers are available. A supermarket is located on the ground floor of the same building. A tram stop is almost right in front of the hostel. The bus stop for the 600 bus to the airport is only a few minutes’ walk away, making airport access easy. Detailed transport information is provided for getting to the airport and the city center, with a digital screen showing upcoming departure times. The common area is very spacious, almost like a co-working space. Frequent events are held for guests.

    The metal bunks were very low and I nailed my head on it a few times😅. Whenever the guy above me rolled over the whole thing shookand I was jarred awake.

    The front desk staff was amazing!! They recommended a place for me to eat and I had requested a lower bunk near the window and they fully accommodated me no worries. Everything was very clean and welcoming. The key card activated lockers were really cool, although they were not large enough to accomodate my carry-on suitcase.
