Hostels in Helsinki

Good place to stay in the city, not so far from the city center. Big, comfortable rooms, helpful staff and good prices. I recommend it.

Very reasonable prices for a single room, which is actually a studio with a kitchen with sink, fridge, stove and oven, plus the ensuite bathroom, something that you not always will find in a hostel. They could do housekeeping in shorter periods of time but nothing that really bothered me. All in all, good value for money.

Very basic but reasonably clean and spacious hostel room. It had a kitchenette (the kitchen utensils were provided in the common area where every guest could pick them up from and return after use) and a wet room type of bathroom. Towels were provided but there was no shower gel or soap. The reception was open 24 hours, I believe, the staff was friendly and efficient. Some toiletries and snacks were...

A great Hostel! I stayed here while doing a study abroad for 3 weeks in Finland. It is generally clean and has a sauna available for those staying here. The toughest part is that the rooms that face Hietaniemenkatu (in building D) face a bar, which gets very wild at night. If you are a light sleeper request a different building.

Great location, budget option in a modern hostel. We had spacious twin room with views of the see. Room, toilets, restaurant, kitchen - all was super clean and personnel very attentive. We had breakfast which is well worth to take - good, lots of options...

Just the perfect hostel. No complaints - just like the city, clean and beautiful. There is a sauna upstairs, and the location is pretty good in general, too. No need for public transport most of the time, as you can walk to the square in around 25 minutes. The 2-bed hostel dorms can be quite a good break from the multiple beds usually seen in most hostels, I would definitely recommend for Helsinki

Clean room, easy check in and check out. Complimentary sauna in the morning. Great location right next to the harbor used by the Viking Line of ferries. The food in general is not that expensive. Breakfast is rather basic with somewhat limited options - just under 12€ per person. You can sit outside in the sun as well. The bathrooms have relaxing sounds playing, like a spa! 😅 Overall, quite a good...

We chose to stay in a double room with a shared bathroom, and the price was very reasonable. We didn’t know this when booking, but once we arrived, we found out that we also had free access to the sauna in the morning. The late check-out time (12:00) was also a nice bonus for us. It’s about a 20-minute walk to the city center, and the time goes by quickly when chatting along the way. If you’re looking...

+Very good location +Cost-effective rooms with very basic facilities +Self-catering kitchen +Free sauna +Attached bar +Breakfast -Parking spaces very expensive -The kitchen is left dirty. Plates, cutlery etc. should definitely be cleaned before use. -Showers without space to put down your clothes (take a bag with you)

One of the best basic hotels I've ever stayed in! Rooms are spacious, comfortable, affordable. Staff is helpful and attentive. Location is convenient for city access, sightseeing, the Viking ferry services. And the morning sauna facilities...quite invigorating :) I'll definitely be staying here again!

Calm and clean always, public transportation everywhere easy to get to the center and beautiful views of Finnish nature

Easy transportation to city center, with plenty of bars and a few grocery stores nearby. Staff is helpful and they have fans you can bring to the room. Large kitchens to cook in. Bathrooms aren't great, but they are reasonably clean and functional, with soap provided. They have social activities planned. It's a good value.

The share kitchen is clean and well equipped. Beds are clean and the dorm has pretty good privacy.

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

Very good. room kitchen and all facilties. I had stayed over 3 days in 2025 May. Viktor

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.

Clean and relaxed hostel on the fortress island of Suomenlinna. Amenities for children (baby crib, highchair and chest of toys) are available. The hostel is housed in an old redbrick building that used to serve as an elementary school. We had a wonderful stay and hope to visit again!

The hostel is located on an island but is easily accessible from the mainland by ferries that operate at an interval of at most 40 minutes. The hostel building was actually an early military barrack and has the old charm from outside but once you are inside, it is a nice modern hostel with most facilities. The rooms were clean and beds comfy. The staffs were helpful and helped me a lot in planning...

Calm and affordable place to stay near the city centre, located in the Suomenlinna sea fortress. The short distance to the ferry makes it easy to reach. Maybe not perfect to go out in the centre for a long night as the last ferry is at 2.20 to the island but this is better for a quiet and historical retreat for the evening and enjoy the beautiful sceneries of the Helsinki archipelago.

Great hostel, clean and tidy, super close to the ferry stop.

Beds are fine, showers are nice and warm, when i came in the winter the place was empty. You have to pretty much cater for yourself, there’s no real food options aside from a €7 breakfast, but it’s a perfectly fine place to stay if you’re back packing and is in a really unique location.

Perfectly nice hostel. The ferry runs frequently and only a couple of hours during the night it does not run. The staff is nice and so is the Island. One point of criticism are that the showers/bathrooms are kind of small, but still manageable I suppose.

Great location and service. Flexibility by parking. Rooms are clean and tidy. Good Wi-Fi connection. Many sockets for charging. Only the elevator is missing.

Reasonable price. Very comfortable. Homely atmosphere. Why would you waste money going to a fancy expensive hotel when this place is available? Will definitely be back

Amazing hostel and definitely my favorite one so far! Clean, cozy, and amazing staff! Next time I come to Helsinki I will definitely be back. Thank you!

Excellent location and old building, old furniture. Definitely good choice for people who want to save money staying in the city center. But beds are old, two stores, old towels and old furniture, used by a lot of people for many years. I stayed in room number 6, and you can hear everything in the corridor and behind the walls there, hear from your bed other guests talking behind the wall. The private...

Roughly, A kilometre away from the central railway station, the place can be reached in 10-12 mins by walk. It's neat and bed/rooms affordable. It has toilets, kitchen and showers. Only be mindful that you need to carry your luggage up the stairs to the third floor as no lifts available. Ring the bell and the door will be unlocked. Info for tours around the city is available there as well. Restaurants...

Great location and really nice staff at a very decent price. On arrival there is a made bed and if you arrive early or leave late you are welcome to use the kitchen. They can also keep your bagage safe if you prefer to do some touristing in town before checking in.

Had a great stay at the hostel, staff was friendly and helpful, the place is very clean and organized, and the location couldn't be better! Many good restaurants/bars/cafes around the building. Highly recommended for women solo traveling :)

The Yard Hostel is a great place to stay and I would highly recommend it. The hostel is located in very close proximity to the central train station and the public airport bus. Furthermore, he beds are great and include privacy curtains, hooks to hang stuff up and outlets. The Yard also has a common kitchen and plenty of bathrooms, and showers. However, they don’t have anyone on staff to address guests...

The location is great and the cleanliness is very good. Unfortunately the hotel is quite unsocial and boring. The way the hostel is run also marrs the atmosphere. The cleaning staff mans the reception, but it doesn’t really seem like you’re supposed to talk to them and mostly they are not at the desk anyway. Also there are multiple threats of fines in the communication if you lose your key etc etc

My two nights stay at The Yard Hostel were pleasant! Rather cozy and spacious common areas inside the hostel. Nice and friendly atmosphere among the staff and guests. The bunks had curtains and were quite spacious. I stayed at two different dorm rooms and the first one lacked a window to open, so the air felt very stuck and not fresh. Location in Kamppi was great and even though it was rather busy...

A very good place to stay few days in Helsinki ! The chambers are pleasants, the common room is also great and all the Yard Hostel lovingly looked.

Super clean. Super easy to check in and out. I only had one dorm mate and he was very cool. It was in a neat part of town. I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel was good for solo traveller cost also cheap

a bit hard to find the location and unclear instructions, other than that, everything is 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.

It's nice to have single rooms. Self check in.

Good clean facility in general, however, I hope they paid more attention to deep cleaning inside the rooms. Sound isolation is not good too. I had a bed without sheet and broken leg!!🙃

Great location to stay! Rooms cleaned, well-looking, views are just amazing as the hotel is located on 9th floor. Prices are also good. Staff is nice and helpful.

Hakaniemi shopping hall and Tokoi beach can be seen from the window. Shopping center Redi and Korkeasaari within walking distance. A clean room, own kettle and fridge is a big plus. Clean shared toilet and shower facilities. Friendly service, uncomplicated and effortless.

It is not an ordinary place, but very cool and homey. Nice people and relaxed Owner. Not expensive alternative place to stay.

Not convenient location. Very calm area. You may feel scared if you go at night. Recommendable to go in daytime at first to know the place. Very homelike hostel with a friendly cat.

Interesting wall paintings in each room. Very friendly staff. Self service, you can pay for breakfasts. Decently priced, especially for Helsinki.

Family like place. Not central but very convenient place. Walkable distances from downtown Helsinki.Good value. Great staff. I will come back. Definitely recommend it.

Easy to reach with metro, but a bit far compared to the city center. The sound penetrates through the doors easily, so it can feel a bit noisy at night with people coming/going and people talking in the living room. But these are small things compared to the overall experience.

The late check in is easy and convenient. There is a supermarket 100m away opens all day. And a Lidl about 300m away. The hostel is cosy and warm. Staff is very helpful and friendly. There are also a lots of restaurants around. Location is good, easily go to city,airport and west terminal.

Staffs are friendly and very helpful. The front desk girl was super nice. The kitchen is big, and has kitchen utensils. But I don't have the chance to use. The pizza downstairs is so good.

Not a party hostel,Female dorm is cute. Quite and comfortable hostel. people are friendly. Bed is comfortable. For a hostel, cleaning condition is good. Location is convenient, metro,tram stops are nearby.

Stayed for two night in the all girls room, was a little hot at night here in the summer but was perfect temperature with the window cracked. Checked in late at night and the process was super smooth, locker is quite large and could easily fit a regular sized backpack. Everything is done using a key card you get when you check in which made entering the room and using the locker super simple! Would...
