This is a great staffed hostel, the staff were always friendly and happy to help. Cute little features like the flea market where I bought 1€ sweater. Washing done in a few hours was 10€ which felt a bargain in Helsinki. I was supposed to be a single room but was given a double in room 14, which was nice and roomy and I enjoyed the opportunity to feel at home by using the drawers for three nights. The kitchen is well stocked and clean. Location is awesome, lots of great bars and the k-market had great options for cheap food. Plenty of toilets for number of guests, never had to wait. Easy to get to using public transport from the port and walkable to most sights in 15-20 minutes. Thanks again to your amazing staff!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The hostel is incredibly clean, organized and well equipped. Great location, close to the train station and walking distance to the main tourist atractions. The pre-checking is super good and cheers to the staff for the lovely letter and clear instructions. Probably one of the best hostels that I've ever been, congrats.

This must be our 5th or 6th stay at CheapSleep. The place is squeaky clean and offers everything one needs from a youth hostel. We stayed in a very comfy private room, the shared showers and toilets were extremely clean. The bus stop for the public airport bus is just a 2min walk away and the 24/7 supermarket in the same building comes in handy. Great value!

Price was good valve for a tight budget & the room was secure with passkey, which meant I could leave belongings safely behind whilst out and about. It was clean and had good facilities for a hostel.
