CheapSleep Hostel Helsinki

Beds were nice and secluded from the rest of the room. Good location. Relatively quiet yet social

It takes about 30 minutes by train to reach Helsinki Central Station, but I didn’t find it inconvenient at all. There’s a well-stocked 24-hour supermarket right next to the hotel, which was incredibly convenient. The shared kitchen was well-equipped and easy to use even during dinner time. Everything was clean and well-maintained, the reception staff were kind, and the other guests were all friendly.

The hostel is quite far from the city and the room was so small and there is a lot of guest in the room and they create the busy noise and keep open the door and close all the time. But anyway I like the kitchen anyway is big and modern.

The beds in the bedroom are behind partitions, so sunlight may not reach if you are at the end of the room. Each bed has sockets and a lamp, but it was not always easy to plug in the socket. In the evening, the kitchen can be crowded due to the large number of people.

Location walkable distance from bus stop. Manageable even with slight upslope and heavy luggage. Kitchen & shared toilet are clean. Room is very small, cleanliness can be improved as we saw stains on pillow case. Ceiling was also dirty. All in all, it is still alright for a 1 day stay.

Good value for fair price. Good location, very close to tram and bus stations, If you're coming to Helsinki by plane, you can go directly to the hostel from the airporty by bus no 600. 24 hours market and cafes just nearby. Hostel offers you lot of activities, depends on day of the week. Overall it's clean, breakfasts are OK, staff at the reception is nice & helpfull, common things available here like i.e. luggage storage, free ear plugs and so on. My only con is - no curtains by the beds. If you have really bad luck, just as I had, you may draw a lower bed in dorm just by the door to the room. Every single person, just by opening the door, allows stream of bright light right into your face which is frustrating, especially in the middle of the night. A piece of cloth, just hanging along the bed could solve this issue and keep a minimum of privacy.
