The great disadvantage was lack of free wifi! The stuff is friendly and helpful. Rooms are very basic but ok. Hostel is located quite near to the city center, 10 to 30 minute walk to almost every sightseeing. So it's good value for money

Location is good and rooms are clean. It would be better if free wifi could be used.

Nous avons été enchantées de notre séjour à l'Eurostel, cette solution a été idéale pour nous. L'accueil a été sympathique et l'autonomie laissée à vos hôtes est très appréciable

This is my fourth visit to this hostel and I have found it more than satisfactory each time. The staff are extremely helpful especially those at the front desk.

Adequate location, shower doors are very bad, water flows everywhere. No common areas to meet people, restaurant is very expensive. Very good lockable storage space, bedside light is a nice touch. All in all, not a bad experience staying here.

Hey the stuff was really friendly and the shared bathrooms are clean and new. The kitchen was quite dirty and the equipment was poor. the rooms are spatan but ok. The rooms are clairaudient so its easy to hear your neighbours talk. At all th price is good and the location is quite near to the city center, therefore every sightseeing can be made in a 10 to 20 minute walk.

The showers were dirty, moreover they were broken and we couldn´t change the temperature of water, one shower was very cold and the other was too hot. The rooms were good but pretty small. Maybe a good price for Helsinki but from my viewpoint 55 € for 1 room is quite high price, in others countries you can find betters for less money. (Helsinki and Finland are expensive)

If youre looking for a place to meet people as a single/small group traveller this is definitely not the place as its like a large hotel, just one you share a room/bathroom/kitchen in. Other than that it was clean, convenient, and the staff were super helpful and spoke flawless english. Security was as good as it could get. Make sure you take a bathing suit if youre remotely self conscious - the showers are in a shared bathroom with only tinted glass 'doors'. But really nice place to stay.

our room was very basic and the bed cover sheet was dirty. Kitchen was close between 23pm and 6am. not good for people like a pot noodles before bed. Very helpful staff though. not quite near the central bit of centre but easy to get there by tram

I had a very bad experience at this hostel. Although it was clean and there were large lockers to keep your things, the hostel is VERY badly run. The 2nd night they booked someone in my bed! So I had to go into the room at midnight while people were sleeping and take my things out and move to another room. The next day was my last day and I paid for a late check out. They did not tell the cleaning crew and so all my things that I did not lock up were just thrown out. I would never stay there!!!

Cheap place to stay for a night over with very basic room equipment and furniture. 2 significant disadvantages are no free internet in the room (you have to pay extra for it) and a bit dirty rooms. However the location is nice (especially if you room is facing the harbour) and the stuff is very helpful. If you a re looking for a cheap stay for a night - it's probably a nice choice.

The breakfast was very bad. The eggs were cold and had a very bad smell. The fruit-salad was frozen. The bread old and tasteless. It was not value for money, and the restaurant was more like a bar. the hall and the staff in the reception were friendly and gave very good service. It would be usefull to see a big map of Helsinki on the wall in the hall. The light in the rooms were too bad for reading.

For this price there should DEFINITELY be free wifi. 5 euros a day for wifi is ridiculous, I've never been to a hostel which didn't include it.. so it's not such a good price when you add in the internet costs. But the staff were very friendly and helpful, and there was a good restaurant in the hostel. Loved the fact me and my friend got a private room, as you can get 2 person dorms.

It was dirty! There were pieces of nail, dust, grit and chewing gum on the floor under our bed and the bed linen did not appear to be fresh as there were pubic hairs and yellowish stains, as well as the pillows smell rancid and filthy. The kicthen stunk so horrible and it was enough to upset any stomach, also the fridge was dirty we had to wipe our packs of food because they had dust, rotten food and pubic hairs stuck on them. The walls are so thin you can hear all your neighbors are doing.

directions from port were worse than useless, staff rude, food in restuarant overpriced and not edible, way too few toilets, showers etc, generally overpriced and rubbish!

The toilets were so bad i couldn\'t use them... I stayed for 2 nights and they never got cleaned the whole time i was there!! Other than that the hostel was great, i would use it again. Although if you are looking for somewhere to meet people this hostel might not be for you.
