    Kitchen really small, all the pan and pot used and rusty. The window was broken and I couldn’t leave it opened…

    I had my own small kitchen in the room

    Not very clean space near the fridge Loud peeks when pressing the buttons to open the room (is heard in other rooms)

    Good location not far from the downtown and public transport. 11th floor, so the views and sunsets are great. Clean towels and bed sheets. Self check-in.

    No dark curtains, the light from the window didn’t allow me sleep. It’s hot inside with closed window. The one window is big. Keeping it open means all the sound from the traffic makes into the room and doesn’t let me sleep. The given blanket doesn’t suit for summer. It makes me sweat. Without blanket, it’s cool with window open and sound from traffic. I could not sleep at all.

    Facility is good, reachable, clean, economical, accessible to public transport

    I stayed for one night, and although everything went right, I wouldn't recommend for a longer stay.

    The hostel was quite sad : no one was working there, everything was automatic, and I did not see anyone else in the Hostel. All in all, a place that is very impersonal, ok for one night but not very "cosy".

    The location was ok. It was clean, and the bed was ok too. The view was nice (11th floor).

    Nothing as such. I did not expect much so it met the expectations.

    The location and accessibility of the stay is awesome. The bathrooms were clean. We did not use the kitchen so no comment. We stayed during February when the temperature outside was -18°c. The stay was pretty warm and did not feel the cold at all.

    Toilets are not super clean. Of course it is an hostel, some people do not care of cleaning in commong areas. Also in the kitchen as well, there was a smell and some utensils were dirty. But in the room, refrigerator and microwave was dirty as well. We had to use it but there was terrible smell in the refrigerator and some dirt around it.

    We really like the location of the place and the view.

    Little ventilation in the communal spaces, especially kitchen and bathrooms. Communal seating area was extremely small and limited.

    Location was easy to get to and a few minutes where we were visiting. Price was very competitive when sharing the room however for central Helsinki

    Not very well isolated from inside. So you can heard your neighbors going on toilet, ect. But everyone is trying to keep silence from 10pm till 7am.

    Located in a very quite place, not so difficult to find because they send you email and message on your mobil phone before arrival to explain you the way. Not far from bus stassion. The room was clean, beds are comfortable, very warm room, we were not freezing. It's still an hostel so if you are picky and check under the bed for sure it's not perfectly clean .. Showers were okay, not dirty, toilet the same. Our room had a cupboard, microwave, fridge (turned off), boiling water machin and a tv ! There is no hairdryer, take one if you need it. Very well isolated from outside you do not heard anything from outside.

    The street below is under construction,so the view wasn't looking that perfect,but that has nothing to do with the hostel.

    The view from my window was great,no meeting the staff was necessary,easy access with a code. The whole process was smooth and easy,it was clean and quiet and conveniently located.There were a pharmacy and a supermarket near to the building.

    I wouldn't say that this place is clean. It doesn't matter, that it is a cheap accommodation, it still should be cleaned properly. Too much dust in the room, floor was not looking very clean too. Kitchen was also dirty and greasy. Also room locks work quite loudly. I don't know if this issue can be fixed, but it is really loud - when someone enters room next to yours, you can hear how the code is dialed up.

    Location is good, easy to walk from the city center or metro station. Nice view from the room. Good that this hostel provides only one or two bed rooms, so it is possible to sleep at night, no one makes noise next to you.

    No actual staff on site that i saw. Everything done by phone call or message. But the system works, so not a problem.

    Fairly easy to find, not too far (walking) from a few local landmarks, Basic, simple and affordable. Local restaurant in the building, supermarket and bar 2 minutes away.

    The kitchen was a bit dirty and creepy, but we did not need to use it anyways, so it did not bother us at all since there was a microwave, fridge and a coffee machine in our room!

    Very good quality-to-price ratio! We were overall happy with everything. The room was tiny but we just needed to stay overnight before our flight so it was perfect. The bus stop was nearby and there was a pretty nice indian restaurant right below.
