What a really great travel spot!…read more Location: could not be better. It's right downtown off of Esplanadi park. It's also walking distance to many bars, restaurants, the main cathedrals, the ferry peir, and the bus/train station. Staff: very friendly and always with a smile. Says a lot considering they probably have to answer the same exact types of questions to each traveler. They man the front desk 24/7 and will buzz you in whenever you choose to return home. They also clean the common areas daily and it shows. Interior: the hostel is all on the 3rd floor (no elevator) on both sides of a main staircase. There are a variety of rooms from doubles to dorms (6 beds). There are also shared bathrooms/showers on either end of the hall. A bit of a rush in the morning, but otherwise not so bad. Misc: a significant amount of hot water heaters (to bond over coffee or tea); a 'free food' section from travelers who couldn't take the food with them; a very large common area/kitchen; a large variety of maps/tips/schedules; and they will print for 1 euro. Loved it, and will come back if I'm ever in the area again!

The hostel has nearly been open for 2 years, we had a private room which was fine, the room had a…read moredouble bed, a desk, space to put your clothes and a bed light.

The kitchen is great for cooking and there's a small area where you can watch tv and talk to other guests. Not a lot of noise at night.

Best about this place: location!…read more This hostel is in centre of town, walkable distance to major sites and good public transport connection to railwaystation/airport. What i liked, apart from what was already mentioned: - rooms very clean (bathrooms not so much) - price - facilities offered (sauna, wifi, kitchen etc) Only 3 stars because the bathrooms and hallway are very smelly.

This youth hostel is located down by the port. Without a car, you will need to grab the tram from…read moreCentral Helsinki or you will have a long walk. The location is a little dull but the hostel is nice. When I stayed there they had a yummy breakfast buffet that was very cheap. The hostel was very quiet when I was there too and there isn't any street noise at all.

Why I would recommend this spot to others:…read more -the price: $98 on a Friday night -easy walking distance to the train station, across the street from a food hall and market and a stone's throw from a pretty pond and park -the room was clean (not spacious but what you'd expect for price and an urban setting). Note: we always check the beds for bugs- all clear ;) -impressive complimentary breakfast spread including sausages, deli meats and cheeses, rye oatmeal, yogurt, gluten free options and pastries -they have a room to storage luggage on the first floor

The hotel Cumulus Hakaniemi recently reopened. The hotel is typical for most of the hotels I have…read morestayed in in Finland, a bit modern interior, shower but no bath. They do not have double bed, only twins according to the reception. The breakfast is ok, limited on the choice of bread and meats (no bacon but meatballs that are mass produced). There is no restaurant and there is not much in the area. Strongpoint is the airport bus stops in front of the hotel (615TK or 615) and it is relatively inexpensive (for skandinavian hotels) and above all free internet

Very comfortable with a fresh design. Bus at the door that…read moregoes to the city center. Yummy breakfast. Confy beds!
