    Good value for money and a very central location. My bike stayed in the room, elevator being big enough. Great view from 11th foor.

    The kitchen is not well equipped, making it difficult to cook. Also, our room was not as well mantained as the other rooms we saw.

    The room is really small, but it's a good option if you want to stay in a budget. The mattresses are nice compared to other hostels, and we had a good sleep. The hostel is really quiet.

    The hostel is easily accessible, located 15-20 minutes' walk from the center of Helsinki and the train station. The hostel is quiet and cozy, with adequate facilities and reliable Wi-Fi. There is a market next door.

    The cleanliness of the kitchen is really not that great. I would rate it 6 out of 10.

    Neat shower, toilet, clean bedding, comfortable bed. The room was small, but had everything you need for a comfortable stay. The room is hot, but when you open the window, the room is aired out. A beautiful panorama of Helsinki opens from the window.

    Endless empty corridor with lots of identical rooms, so it felt a bit soulless. But for this price that's what you get in Helsinki

    It's a clean place, check in process was okay. Room is bit small but with a nice view. Public transport is about a 10 minute walk away.

    The cutlery and plates in my room were mucky. There was one sponge to clean with in the kitchen and someone had got raw chicken all over it so as a vegan I didn't use any of the kitchen stuff again.

    The location was great and the rooms quiet and the shower had good flow.

    Stay in a weird office block with an amazing view and bold temperature

    The room was HOT. Even when you figure out how to open the window and turn the fan on full blast, it is still like sleeping in an oven. I barely slept due to the heat. The bed was comfortable, but very narrow. There were lots of little bugs all over the bedding near the window. The bathrooms are clean, but I would have appreciated a lock on the outside of the bathroom, ensuring a private tooth brushing experience. People kept walking in. The lock on the toilet didn’t work well. It was very easily opened, even when properly locked.

    The view from this property is incredible even though the location is inside what feels like an abandoned office block. The code lock on the door is great, meaning you don’t have keys to forget. But I would suggest writing it on your hand so you don’t have to bring your phone everywhere you go. The provided fan worked well. Staff were very quick to respond when I locked myself out my room, despite not being on site.

    Kitchen had almost no utensils, plates and pans to use. Microwave did work fine so I just got ready meals from the store across the square. Rooms were clean and spacious but some things were falling apart a bit.

    Very easy self check-in. Great view. Close enough to the public transport and city centre. Bathrooms and toilets were clean. There is a small but quite good supermarket just across the square.

    We couldn't get some fresh air in. There was no AC, and the window didn't open properly.

    Our room had an awesome view over the city centre. We could even see the train line between the main station and Pasila - perfect for us train fanatics ;) 11th floor, but the elevator is fast.

    The left window was broken so I couldn't open it. There is too big number of rooms, so you can hear some noises from other guests which is not comfortable for resting.

    The hostel is very close to the metro station a and seaport. Location is big advantage of this hostel .

    It looks like there's mold in shower.

    The bed was comfy and there was TV in the room. Shower was big and WC was small if there was another person with you. Bus stops are right there.

    It may be complicated to find the place as it is in one block of high buildings. it could have been better marked.

    Had no breakfast. Good location, well connected with the center. View is very nice as the accommodation is one floor of a very high building,

    The rooms were in bad conditions, the door and windows were broken as well as other appliances. Only one common bathroom for most of the guests.

    Self checking and good location. The person I was in contact for my stay was helpful and fast when needed solving the problem I had.

    The curtains are clearly not enough to block the sun light, during the night. Because Helsinki has a short period of night during the spring, the sun blocking curtains are quite important for sleeping…..

    The place is clean and neat, and the facilities are also clean enough.

    I knew from the comments they didn't have a hairdryer in the room and I think that would be a good thing to have

    I liked the price, location : near the bus stops and metro station, 30mins from the veterinary faculty. There is a good Asian market nearby with a discount for students. Pillow and mattress were comfortable, it was clean. I had a microwave, fridge, kettle, coffee machine, two plates, and cups. Windows were closed. It wasn't cold in the room during the +6C outside. It was quiet at night, this place wasn't full in the beginning of May and it made my stay very comfy. Only once there was a queue to the toilet. Tap water is fine for drinking. I didn't use the kitchen, you can buy ready to eat food with a 'resq app'. The view from the window was nice, there is a construction going near the place but I never heard any noise from them in the room. How to get there: if you come by bus, go to the parking lot and use elevator. Then follow instructions from their message. Shower rooms were clean with a shampoo (if you didn't find the shampoo bottle, check other shower rooms). Some people were complaining that mirrors were absent, during my stay there was a mirror in the Room and shower room too. Taking into account the facility and price - I recommend this place as a short term accommodation.
