CheapSleep Helsinki

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

Hostel lots of young and energetic vibe. Very close to the tram station and it’s on the way from the airport towards city centre. Has good restaurant options in the vicinity.

The breakfast was very simple and porridge had no taste, just bland. Bathroom could have been cleaner. Room had bunk beds with lockers.

Easy to get to from the Ferry terminal and to the airport bus. My room was clean and comfortable and the en-suite bathroom was clean with good pressure and hot water. The kitchen is very busy. To get into the city requires a tram but you can buy tickets from the reception.
