The people at the desk were not welcoming. The bathrooms were in a bad shape. The mattresses were torn and too old. I felt that most of the people there were not enjoying their stay. I paid 19 euros for a great hostel in Paris. I paid 22 euros for this one, and not even the location was convenient.

Really nice hostel. You get a lot for what you pay. Great location, great facilities. Would go there again in my next time in Tallin. Really good value for your money.

A very clean and well-maintained hostel. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Evenings were great as there was a noise curfew so I was able to sleep comfortably. The location of the hostel is great as one can easily connect themselves onto the 3T tram that hits up most tourist attractions. Not much of a party hostel but got to get a good night's rest in a superbly clean place:)

Excellent facilities (though the only complaint I'd have is that the lockers should be in the rooms, not the corridors). Good value breakfast. Felt clean (e.g. you're given sheets and towel on check-in) and warm, comfortable beds with each bed having its own light and power connections for charging laptops etc. The location is the only real downside to this hostel and at check-in, staff could be a little more helpful/forthcoming with tram information/walking directions etc.

Good room. But a bit unclear location. We arrived at night and it was hard to find it at first.

Dorm walls very dirty and stained. Kitchen very dirty. Nowhere to lock up your stuff, inside or outside your room Day staff was great but night staff did not want to be there. Location is very poor compared to quality and price paid for other hostels by the sea in Helsinki, not even a restaurant around! I do not recommend this hostel to anyone, go to the 2 ones in the south like Eurohostel. For the same price, you get so much more in a great location and friendly and helpful staff at any hours!

lokated about 30 min walking from helsinki central station. there wasn't shower in private room and the common shower is very small and disagreeable. In addition, there were 5 beds in twin private, but there supposed to be 2. Breakfasts are not worth 5.7 euros!

Overall, I enjoyed my stay here. Wifi only worked in breakfast/reception area, which was always open. Functional kitchen with cookable food in vending machine. Windows in room don't open, ventilation in room just OK.

That was the worst hostel i've ever been. The kitchen was messed up, the room was dirty and in addition, someone stole our drinks and food (named in the fridge). I'll never come back there, definetely.

I stayed in this hostel is the second time! Cheap price is the only plus! In Helsinki, there is no average prices of hotels or cheap 20 or expensive 70! Я останавливаюсь в этом хостеле уже второй раз! Дешевая цена это единственный плюс!!! В Хельсинки нет средний цены отелей либо дешевые за 20 либо дорогие за 70

We booked a double private room, but were given a dorm instead (just for the two of us though, but with no double bed). The bathroom was also quite far away from the room itself. About the location: it was rather difficult to find the hostel in the dark (we arrived late in the evening). Wifi was only available in dining room. Breakfast was OK, although it did cost extra.

It is about. 15-20 minute walk from the train station and pretty easy to find. Really close to the Ice Hall if you want to catch a game of hockey, only cost me €20 for a ticket on the day, highly recommend it! The hostel is very clean and has good facilities. A bar would make it a bit more social but it is the cheapest accommodation you will find anywhere in Helsinki!! Supermarket is within 5 mins walking distance also.

Shower room was awful. The staff was fairly monotone and disinterested in my presence in general. Location was okay. Being in an old Olympic stadium was cool.
