I had a bed in the 18-bed female room. The room had about 7 people in it when and when the lamps went off, everyone was quiet and you could sleep soundly.
4.0
The shared female room, where I was staying it was clean, simply & comfortable.
The hostel is just a few steps away from the bus & tram station, which you can use for the Center. Very important is that the public bus for the airport runs from there too.
The only thing, that I found “bad” were the showers. There was not a door but only a bath curtain, which make you feel uncomfortable while moving.

I recently stayed at the hostel and I have some mixed feelings about my experience. On the positive side, the hostel’s location is ideal for exploring the city, conveniently situated near major attractions and public transportation options are excellent ( direct bus to the airport). Additionally, the staff was friendly and helpful, check-in process was smooth.
However, there were some downsides to my stay. The cleanliness of the hostel did not meet my expectations. Although the room decor was simple, which I didn’t mind, there was a thick layer of dust on the floor and on the locker cabinet giving the impression the room had not been cleaned properly for some time. A broken locks on a few of the bathroom stall doors were a significant concern for privacy.
Overall, the hostel has great potential, thanks to its excellent location and wonderful staff. I would suggest improvements to be made in terms of cleanliness and maintenance, adding some curtains to bunkbeds for privacy. I would consider staying here again as it is good value for your money and location is very convenient.

This is not what I was expected,
Hostel, renting trowels for 3 euro, selling slippers,
Breakfast, isn't a big buffet, just few things,
Example, jam, only one kind,
Juce in bottle,
Staff, are friendly, but I still remember, when one of the staff asked me if I have a breakfast coupon,
She was surly face, when I showed her my coupon, she smiled
Beds are so short between first and 2nd upstairs, you can't sit normal, should you, bend yourself,
Pillows are terrible, if don't add something underneath your head, it would be bad,
Anyway, I didn't think so I will back there,
Only if I see some changes in comments

Nice place to stay, even for a long time. The whole team is very welcoming. Most people are respectful of each other and the hostel has weekly activities. I definitely recommend it as the location is well surrounded by transport
2.0
The hostel is very basic, a bit worn and in need of reparations and improvements, but you get what you pay for. Considering the price, the value is ok and I would go back if I needed a budget option.
+The 18-person dorm was divided into smaller 2-4-bed nooks with walls, which improved privacy.
+In winter, during the week, it was pretty quiet. No loud parties and no queues to the bathrooms.
+Keycard access everywhere, including the lockers.
- The kitchen is ridiculously tiny for such a large number of guests. It's basically a short, narrow hallway no bigger than my own kitchen at home, and a handful of people is enough to make it so crowded that nobody else can fit in to use it anymore. Even with the hostel barely at 50% capacity, it was always crowded at dinnertime. I gave up on trying to use it during my stay.
- If your room is on the second floor, prepare for loud thumping sounds and vibrations against the ceiling from the third floor weight lifting gym. The noise started around 6 am and continued until late evening during my stay.
- The showers, taps and drains could use some TLC. Many taps leak, some drains are nearly clogged. The cheap shower curtains with stains, holes and mould make the 2nd floor bathroom look like a crime scene, even though otherwise it was clean enough.
- The beds creak, but this didn't bother me too much.

Kind staff. Reception at 2nd floor. Bed rooms, shower rooms and toilet at 2nd and 4th floor. Public kitchen 4th floor. Buffet beakfast service was good and worth. It will be better if everyone can clean by themselves after using the kitchen and not too loud after 11Pm.

Easy check in. Twin room was tight but warm and clean. Shared bathroom which had plenty of facilities and clean. Shared kitchen seemed fine although I didn’t use it. Just needed somewhere to sleep for a couple of nights so was fine. Not fancy but seemed a good hostel.

Staff were very helpful and friendly and the place was cleaned regularly. Transport links were just outside the door, alongside a supermarket.
Lovely little coffee shop close by in the wooden house district and excellent drinks and Russian dumplings at Pikku-Vallila round the corner. Would definitely recommend!

good hostel to stay, cosy and very friendly staff, the only problem was the state of the common kitchen. There were only 6 fires for several hundred guests and the sinks were had mold growing in the wood of the counters.
3.0
It has been a very good hostel, very complete and with all the amenities. Just the location is quite far from downtown.
4.0
Better than expected. It was affordable, the staff was nice and the availability of transit passes to go around Helsinki was very much appreciated.
That said, unfortunately the area surrounding the hostel does not have a lot of restaurants around, so you'd have to walk for about 15-20 mins to find an area that has a variety of restaurants.

This is a cheap place to stay, as the name implies. So I suppose it's not fair to expect too much. That said, it has a bit of a grungy feel to it, which made me uncomfortable. The bed was fine (clean), but whole place smelled a bit musty, and especially the bathroom, which is also the shower room (rows of toilet stalls on one side, shower stalls on the other). I enjoyed the breakfast, and it wasn't a bad price (by Finland prices). They do charge extra for a towel (3€ at the time of the review), so bring your own if you can. As their own pictures show, the beds do not have any curtains or other ways to make yourself not visible to others in the room. Each room (which can have lots of beds in it, depending on your booking) has a locked door that can only be opened from the outside by keycards belonging to those staying in the room, and that provides some sense of security and privacy. Lockers are available for storing valuables.
Overall, it was probably worth the cost. But I didn't enjoy the "vibe" of the place. If I'm back in Helsinki, I would see if I can find a cleaner, more appealing place to stay at.

We stayed in a private room and it was fine. The kitchen was too small/crowded to use.
Staff was friendly and helpful.
5.0
Taking into account that a hostel doesn't try to live up to the standards of a 5 star hotel, I really enjoyed my stay. I have rarely stayed in a Hostel which puts in so much effort with such good results, from staff friendliness, to cleanliness, to the key-card based locker system.
Obviously, if this were a five star Hotel, I would give a 0 star rating though... Other than staff friendliness and helpfullness which would still be excellent.

I mean, you get what you pay for. It’s cheap, but serviceable. The beds are very squeaky so hope you get a bunk mate that doesn’t move so much. The reception gives out earplugs. Bring your own towel and slippers.
3.0
It was fine, but seemed to be at capacity when I was there, so in a 16-bed dormitory that means people are coming in throughout the night and it might be hard to get a good night's sleep. There wasn't much space to sort out your stuff; but it was nice to get lockable cabinets (keycard).
You don't need to bring your own padlock, but you might want to bring a towel, ear plugs or slippers.
The kitchen is well equipped, but you might have to wait to use it. One sink for perhaps fifty people on that floor.

The place is quiet affordable, considering the average accommodation prices in the city. It’s overall a nice place to stay for a few nights. However, the bed sheets didn’t give the impression of being freshly washed…
2.0
The room was otherwise clean, but a little bit dusty. The shared kitchen was little bit messy, people left their dishes and food waste in the sinks.
There is a gym in the same building, and I woke up early to loud weightlifting noises.
All in all my experience was decent
2.0
The hostel is clean and in good condition. The rooms are good and beds nice enough. The only minus is the road that goes next to the hostel, which is very busy. In the summer, when it's hot, they keep windows open as there is no air condition and the rooms get very hot - then the noise levels are super high.
5.0
Good flat for all people
2.0
The room was what I paid for. A place with a bed and a roof on my head. There were enough toilets and showers around. It all was worth the money, though it was very cheap. It was a heat wave in Helsinki, but the room and the lobby were even hotter than outside. It was quite too much for me to have a good night sleep. Maybe next time I'll just pay more for the comfort of sleeping well, but if you're not allergic to high temperatures, this is a great option to sleep cheap.

Best thing is the location as it’s not far from the centre of Helsinki.
