the location is fantastic. the staff very friendly. good international and diverse guests. staying in an authentic traditional property which used to be an inn. it had original features like the old ceramic chimneys and porcelain heaters (as a feature). good communal space (kitchen).

the mattress was old and not very comfortable. some of the guests unfortunately lacked shared space etiquette and no respect for other room mates by making noise or arriving very late and leaving very early and generally being loud and inconsiderate. my suggestion is not to check in anyone after midnight and until 7am in the morning!

The location is fantastic, I had a conference at the University of Helsinki for three days, but I also stayed two more days and went out into the city, and the main station is very easily accessible from there on foot, or if your luggage is heavy, with the trams. The kitchen seems very functional and well equipped, although I didn't have that much time to cook, but it's also a nice common area! The room was decent (5 people mixed dorm), very clean, and didn't feel overcrowded to me. My mattress could have been newer, it had lost a bit of its support. Not the most lively hostel I've stayed at, but since I was there for work, I didn't mind it being quiet in the rooms and hallways. However, they had a nice list of activities for the week, which took place in bars and venues in the area, plus a Whatsapp group so you can connect with other guests. I would have loved to try those out if I'd stayed longer, or if I get the chance to visit again.

It's expensive, but Helsinki is expensive in general.

Super nice place, would definitely recommend. I stayed for 2 nights, the hostel is quiet, clean, bed was comfortable, and the staff were very helpful. The kitchen is great too, you have everything you need to cook, and it’s a cozy space. I arrived a bit earlier than check-in time and was warmly welcomed to use all the facilities, including the showers, kitchen, and WC. Same when I checked out, I was allowed to leave my stuff after 11 and stay in the common areas as long as I needed, which was nice as I had a late evening flight. Overall, a very cozy, quiet, and clean place. The location is perfect – close to the train station and city center. Would definitely recommend!

Everything was great!

The room and the common areas were all clean and neat, the receptionists were friendly. We have only spent one night, but it was perfect for us, near to the bus and railway station. The building has an Art Nouveau charm, and it gives the hostel a soul. A great spot to go and explore the city centre by foot. If we visit Helsinki again, we will come back here!

For us it was no bother to carry our luggage up the stairs, but for the elderly, or for someone with health issues or disability the lack of an elevator can be a challange. Not a problem for us, but something to keep in mind.

Perfect location, in the very center - Central station, harbor, shopping centers, main city sightseeing - all in walking distance. Hostel is very clean and cozy. I took private room, so had almost no interactions with other guests, but as far as I know everybody was nice and friendly. The room had sink in it, very convenient. Definitely will consider this hostel again for my next stay in Helsinki.

Shared bathroom, but this is how it is in hostels. Smell from the kitchen, when somebody was preparing meal. Bed wasn't very comfortable, but still ok.

I arrived early and asked the staff to store my luggage which was no problem at all. In general, the staff seemed enthusiastic. I loved the kitchen! It was exceptionally clean and well organised, it was absolutely no issue to find things and use the equipment. It seems at first that 4 showers are not enough but the showers were all spacious and I did not see any people waiting. The location is super central, 15 min walking distance to the central station. The building is old and well looked after with beautiful interior (pictures from 1909 in Helsinki, I really liked these details!), tye dorms were spacious and included a sink, little lockers and a coat rack. All beds had a plug close by.

Good location, clean hostel, friendly workers, clean kitchen, had nice warm shower, quiet at night, and friendly people lounged at the place. It's good for lone travellers because you can easily make friends at the hostel if you want.

Actually, i booked a single room and slept only two nights, so I didn't notice much. But it would be nice to have bathing soap in all the bathrooms.

The accommodation is excellent. In a very good location and easy to find. The staff is very friendly and ready to serve you at any time. When you are leaving you have to take off your sheets, so you know they definitely change them. The toilets are very clean, the kitchen is very organized and clean with all the necessary things. There are puzzles and different games in the area that you can borrow. The whole hostel is very cozy!!

Maybe the mattresses can by more comfortable, but it’s nothing tragic

The location was perfect! Very convenient and I could visit most parts of the city just by walking. The kitchen and bathroom was very clean. It was a really nice common area. My room (4 bed) was great. Super clean and people were so nice. I had an amazing time, and it was my first hostel experience, so it exceeded my expectations.

Honestly, everything was great. Maybe the size of the single toilet room was not good (very tiny), but I didn't use it anyway, because the shower room also have a toilet. They have a lot of stairs, so if you bring a lot of luggage (which was not my case), you may have some difficulties going up.

Very beautiful apartments, especially the northern modern style kitchen with beautiful oven. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. Nice breakfast, but good for the first time. Some free food and different things. A wide range of guests from different countries :)
