Lovely clean rooms, a little wear on the floor where the lockable drawers run over, but a lovely environment, kitchen, lounge. The staff were so lovely and helpful, I would definitely stay there again
One of the nicest hostels I’ve ever stayed at. Really enjoyed. Only downside was there were only 4 toilets and 3 showers. Didn’t seem overly crowded and still found them full at times. Doesn’t seem like enough if they were at capacity for beds.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Nice staff, very comfy place in the Center of the bar street. Good kitchen, and enough of showers/toilets.
It's a comfortable bed. It was really nice to have so many outlets in your bunk. Two shelves to keep stuff. Hooks to hang stuff. The sleeping area itself is quite comfortable overall.
The are only three bathrooms and four showers. It wasn't a big problem for me only staying a couple days but for longer stays that could get annoying I think.
Well equipped kitchen. Nice size fridge. Wifi can be spotty so bring your own if that's vital for you.
Friendly staff, very well located in the city. Welcome email explains how to get there and access the hostel. I had a private bedroom, it was clean and the bed was comfortable
Nice spot for a short affordable stay. Only complaint was that towels, etc. were not included in the pricing. I do not know if this is typical in European countries, but otherwise a convenient location with plenty to do nearby.
The NICEST hostel i have ever stayed in. They have thought of everything you could need, its super modern and very clean. My favourite attraction of helsinki was this hostel!
I was a solo female traveller. Stayed in a female dorm. All amenities were clean and the hostel itself was quiet, despite being just off the main road. Friendly, welcoming staff.
Rooms with the curtains were nice. Showers could be better. The whole demographic seemed older when I was there so didn’t love that personally but otherwise loved the place!
I had a twin room. The shared toilets and showers were clean and well maintained. Shoes are
To come off at the door but slippers were provided. I was there in April and the rooms and general areas were all clean and warm. There was on refrigerator which did get crowded. Galley kitchen with plenty of cookware. Easy to find and check in
Wish I tried this earlier in my trip. This is walking distance from main train station and is centrally located to key sites that a weary traveler would need. You can’t really go wrong staying here.
Loved my stay! The beds are super spacious and comfortable. The hostel is very clean and cute. Pretty quiet common area and not much socializing going on. Very relaxed and in a perfect location. I would stay again
