CheapSleep Helsinki

It was like a home for foreigners, I am definitely staying there when next I visit Helsinki

Not clean, not ventilated, noisy, good staff

Nice sitting areas outside the sleeping room.

Just outside city centre but several tram and bus lines stop outside the hostel so very easy to get about. Bed very comfortable, room quiet. A small but well equipped kitchen. A food shop in the same building.

First time in Helsinki and it was a great time! You might think the hostel is a bit outside of city center, but it's centered between various forms of public transportation that take you where you want to go in under 15 minutes, also in 30 minutes to the airport and 30 minutes to the ferries - plus you can walk downtown and it takes you a good 30 minute stroll, which I enjoyed a lot. The staff is super helpful, espcially Hélène, Niina, Stefanie, Avnas, Tai and Suman were very kind, knew where I should go to make the most of my stay and made me feel right at home. There is a well equipped kitchen, comfy lounge areas, a super market right aside the hostel and you will have no difficulty getting in touch with other backpackers from around the world. The rooms are your basic hostel rooms, beds are quite good, pillows not too bulky and you even arrive to an already made bed for you - which is such a nice sight for the weary traveler! I will definitely be back! Kiitos - Claudia
