A bookable sauna is available, as well as luggage storage and lockers. Street parking is possible in the area.

The hostel is 1.8 km from Helsinki Cathedral, 1.9 km from Helsinki Olympic Stadium and 2 km from Finlandia Hall. Helsinki-Vantaa Airport is 15 km away. Hostel was very central, an easy walk around the city but also close to the metro, tram, and bus stops. The room came with lockers that lock via the room key which was an amazing surprise. The room I stayed in was on the smaller side, but overall comfortable enough for the price. Honestly the guy who was working is what gives this hostel a 5 star review! He was super friendly, really helpful and an overall Lovely person!

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.
