Hostels in Uusimaa, Finland

The hostel is perfect for travelers in search of a fair accommodation at the heart of helsinki city centre. It’s quite strange though that receptionists and hostel staff are almost never present and the only appearances were the one of the cleaning maid. The result is that guests don’t really communicate or interact no matter the huge living room and sofas and the fact that they all have to share the kitchen amenities. What happens is that the level of tidiness and accountability for the usage of mugs, plates, cutlery depends on your luck and the guests who check in each and every day. By the last day we had partygoers stopping only for a night out and cans of pepsi and a bottle of vodka were left on the common table (not sure if it was a shy invite to indulge) while the sink and the dishwasher were crammed with badly rinsed stuff. It’s a pity cause the common showers, the toilets and the rooms were fairly clean, we simply expected the typical hostel experience where you manage to socialize a bit more thanks to the staff.

The distance is very close. There is no self-service check-in. The environment is not bad. There are shared bathrooms, laundry rooms, and kitchens. You need to bring your own ingredients. The price is high and it is only about 1.5 kilometers away from Vantaa Airport. It is very cost-effective for those who want to travel for a short time or transfer. It's like living in a semi-forest! The heater is not very warm and the temperature is a bit low. I don’t know if the cold spot will be higher!

This hotel is perfectly located, very close to the harbour. The Metro Line 4 stop is just 50 metres outside the door. It is immaculately clean, fitted with a complete kitchen set so we could cook our own meals. There is also a free Finnish sauna, which was lovely. The staff are very nice to us, and we had a really pleasant stay. One parcel arrived late after we had already returned to Poland, and they kindly helped to delivery it over to us. Overall it was a wonderful experience, and we will definitely book this place again when we travel to Finland next time.

Spent a one night layover in Helsinki and I decided to stay at CheapSleep. The location was super convenient and the rooms were clean and quiet. Took the early bus to airport for my early flight to Iceland. Highly recommend.

The lack of proper curtains meant little privacy in the evenings when you are visible from the street in all directions in the evenings. This also a stairs-only location and you have to lug your luggages up a spiral staircase which, if you have elderly persons with you as I did, isn't advisable. The toilet is extremely small and the sink area in the shower is also limited. Washing up was difficult. The catered breakfast was great. There isn't any dishwasher so washing up has to be done by hand.  Google Maps can lead you to the wrong place off a cliff in darkness so be careful! 

Never been to other places in Finland. There is no comparison, so I can't judge, I can only say that this shop is the cheapest shop I can find that can walk to the train station. Dorm room is not bad. The toilet and shower are too tight. I only stayed one night, so it was OK. If you want to stay here for a long time in Helsinki, it won't feel too comfortable. But it is too expensive to book a hotel or bed and breakfast in Finland. So my fellow citizens, don't come to Northern Europe if you have no budget. The staff here is very nice btw. It's not cold, very enthusiastic.

Great places, only had one roommate super peaceful hostel, ferry was absolutely on time so make sure you schedule yourself for that otherwise it’s a solid 40 mins wait in winter.

Had a little trouble trying to figure out how to get in the hotel but it was great

I was worried about whether I could get into the room, but I was able to contact them using WhatsApp, which I installed in Japan. The room had a refrigerator, a water heater, cups, forks, etc. It was a convenient location.

女性用ドミトリーに宿泊しました。 全体的に温かみがあって居心地が良かったです。トコジラミなどは見当たりませんでした。 立地がとても良く、徒歩で主要な中心街の観光は殆ど可能です。 最寄りのソルナイネン駅は政府から治安に関する勧告が出ているため、特に女性は夜間外出は控えた方が良いかも知れません。今は夏で日照時間が長いため、私は特に気にしませんでした。 チェックインもスムーズで、時間外の方への対応も分かりやすいと思います。 キッチンは時間により混み合いますが、使いやすいです。 調味料などはありますが、どれがホステルのものなのかが分かりにくかったです。バスタオルやアメニティなどはありません。ドライヤーはあります。 スタッフの方が親切なのと、女性用の部屋のセキュリティもきちんとしており、また利用したいと思っております。
