Hotel 2-Star di Uusimaa, Finland

We stayed in a triple room for a family trip. There was a sink in the room, but the shower and toilet were shared. The room felt a little dusty, but we could open the window for ventilation, so it wasn't a problem. The bathroom was very clean, and there was no noticeable sewage smell. There is only one shower, but it's fine if you time your showers right. Towels provided in the room included one bath towel and one face towel, as well as body soap and shampoo. The shared kitchen was very convenient, and we were able to cook and eat food we bought at the supermarket. Coffee and tea were also available. We were able to leave our luggage in the hallway when we checked out, and they held it for us. If we visit Helsinki again, we would definitely like to stay here again.

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 room was clean and comfortable, there were key card lockers for each bunk so that made my belongings feel secure! The lobby was also huge with lots of spaces to lounge. Showers had hairdryers and sufficient cubicles and hooks for towels and clothes. Would recommend!

The view from the room was great. The location was also perfect, being close to the station with a market nearby.

Peaceful place, no noise from the traffic and otherwise also very quiet. Room had tv, refrigerator and a comfy chair beside the bed. What can I say? For this price I say this a steal. Also breakfast was very good. I fully recommend this at least for solo travelleres like I.

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.

It was easy to spend because there was a feeling of cleanliness at the hotel on Suomenlinna Island and the rules of the hotel itself were firm. However, I don't know if I don't have to lend a towel or pay for it, so it's a caution there.

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

Near old town by walk. Budget price with breakfast. Coffee and tea in your room. Nature environment.
