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 room was very simple, just a bed, a desk, and shelves, but the location was great. The nearest tram stop was close to the hostel, and Helsinki Cathedral was within walking distance. A unique perk for a hostel was the free morning sauna, although it was a simple one.

The staff are friendly, they have a kitchen. When many people cook at the same time. It’s a little crowded. The sign on the wall clearly says that everyone should wash their pots and dishes after cooking. Unfortunately, some guests still leave without cleaning up after themselves. It's inconsiderate and makes the shared kitchen unpleasant for everyone.

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! 

Really located in nice spot,bar.restaurant.shop.park just nearby.the staff was nice and helpful.but it’s an old building which no escalator. A sink in room is really helpful.Don’t bring big suitcases !

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。

There is no soap in the shower room, so we recommend that you bring your own! The room was a twin, but it was surprisingly large and comfortable. However, the bed is a little narrow, so it may be difficult for some people. It was a good impression for me personally.
