I enjoyed the superb location. Also clean facilities were a plus. Even though this hostel locates in the city center, it was pretty quiet and peaceful to stay there, as there was no heavy traffic nearby. I didn't meet any of the staff during the stay, all was just very smoothly organized - like magic fairies :) Also, while Finland is a 'coffee-country', the hostel provided visitors with not only coffee, but also with water kettle and good tea - I really appreciate it!

The staff were polite helpful and friendly. I got detailed instructions to get to a location. Lockers available for each guest. The mattress was comfortable and the sheets were cotton. The kitchen was well equipped. Plenty of public space for guests to hang out. Overall cleanliness. If the kitchen was sometimes messy, that's the guests doing. It is located right by the traditional wooden houses and you could walk or take a short bus ride to the downtown harbour area. Luggage storage available. Basically it was well organised and managed.

The accommodation was perfect and exceeded expectations in every sense. I liked most the functionality of the appartment in the situation of limited resources. The choice of kitchen utensils was very handy and practical, the planning of toilet and shower optimal. Everything was very clean. We are most satisfied with our stay.

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!

It was the best hostel I've been. They have 8 bunk beds per room, but it is from a very good quality so theres no squeaking or any kind of annoying noise, the lockers under the bed have a really good size, you can fit around 2-3 lugadge of cabin size, and they also have an additiinal lugadge room. The kitchen and bathroom were very clean, and the commons areas very cozy and nice. The location is very good, with all kinds of public transportation in a radius of 2-3 blocks. And finally, the staff was absolutely lovely.
