Well situated in the centre of Helsinki, Aikatalo Hostel Helsinki is set 300 metres from the Central Railway Station and 600 metres from Helsinki Cathedral. Helsinki Bus Station is less than 1 km from. Among the facilities at this small and peaceful family-owned hostel are a 24-hour front desk and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The hostel features family rooms. Lovely staff and great location, the only downside was that we arrived at night and it was a bit hard to find the shopping complex in which the hostel is located.

Set a 10-minute walk from Helsinki Train Station, this hostel offers free WiFi access and a fully equipped communal kitchen. Esplanade Park is 600 metres away.

The hostel offers a 24-hour reception and security lockers. Bed linen is included in room prices. Guests can relax and socialize in the common room. The location is fantastic, I had a conference at the University of Helsinki for three days, but I also stayed two more days and went out into the city, and the main station is very easily accessible from there on foot, or if your luggage is heavy, with the trams. The kitchen seems very functional and well equipped, although I didn't have that much time to cook, but it's also a nice common area! The room was decent (5 people mixed dorm), very clean, and didn't feel overcrowded to me. My mattress could have been newer, it had lost a bit of its support. Not the most lively hostel I've stayed at, but since I was there for work, I didn't mind it being quiet in the rooms and hallways. However, they had a nice list of activities for the week, which took place in bars and venues in the area, plus a Whatsapp group so you can connect with other guests. I would have loved to try those out if I'd stayed longer, or if I get the chance to visit again.
