Reviews
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.
I booked a stay for two nights but had to run off to another hotel on the second night because I was bitten all over my body by bed bugs-on my arms, back, legs, toes, and even my fingers, with about 20 bites in total. I complained to the hostel, but they claimed they had checked my room and found no bed bugs, implying that I was lying. Why would I lie about this? You can literally search for "bed bugs" in reviews on Booking.com and and see that several travelers have started to report similar issues in English, French, and Chinese. This is not something you can dismiss by simply saying, "oh we didn't see them, so there were no bugs," or by suggesting that the guest got the bites elsewhere. (I saw one review where the hostel responded to a bed bug complaint with an absurd reply) | even took a photo of one of the bugs while I was sleeping-- reddish, and full of my blood. Avoid this hostel at all costs if don’t want to bring some beg bugs home as souvenirs.
My reaction to the bed bug bites was quite severe and very itchy, making the last part of my trip in Finland very unpleasant and frustrating.
If there were no bed bugs, l'd give it a 6/10 because there are only two toilets shared among many guests, and they aren't very clean nor very dirty. I stayed in a female dorm in a small corner of the room, where there was not much ventilation and it was quite hot and smelly. No towels are provided, and the Wifi is not stable. The sauna is out of order, so it shouldn't be included in the photo or the description.
There are multiple clear signs of bed bugs in the hostel. The bedsheets have tiny brown spots everywhere and we got bitten during the night. A couple bites in a row in multiple parts of the body which is typical of bed bugs.
I connected the dots and recalled seeing the staff vacuuming the bedframes when i first arrived. They had moved the mattresses and were vacuuming the metal rods. Who does that? The hostel is not the cleanest in general, i don't believe it was just routine.
This means they know the problem is present yet they are still letting guests sleep there without proper disinfestation. I really hope i did not bring any bugs home with me because of these irresponsible people.
Do not go there
The hostel and the location of the hostel were safe. So, I would recommend this hostel to solo female travelers.
There is a tram stop just next to the hostel, so you can go to the city center easily in approximately 15 minutes.
Also, there is a 24-hour open supermarket very near to the hostel.
Common area was excelent. A lot of space to spend time.
Electronical key was cool and easy to use.
It was cool that there was option to leave baggage in hostel and collect it later. I had late flight and it was easier to continue experience the city without baggage.
There are only two showers. The hostel was not full, but if there would be more people then it could be a problem.
There were two fridges. A lot of products were left by people who already went away. Some of them were already bad and one of the fridges was stinking. I threw some old products out but hostel staff should control this.
The openable part of windows in rooms are very small. It gets very humid and hot in the nights.
Sound isolation of rooms is bad. For rooms 201, 202, 203 all sounds from common area are hearable.
Atmosphere was so cozy that I almost thought that its my home and forgot that I am in hostel.
Good air and Clean environment ( but not like in hospitals) its still warm with livefull/ boho vibe.
Staff were easygoing and relaxed.
And located in the best place of Helsinki 😍🤩🧡
