Eurohostel

Great location for the Viking ferry terminal and not too long a walk into town. Facilities have everything you need, and it was nice that a table, shelves and chairs were included in the room as well as the bed and wardrobe.

The hostel is very close to the city centre and it can be reached in about half an hour. The harbour for the ferries to Suomenlinna is even closer (just about 10-15 minutes from the hostel). Moreover, the hostel is well connected by public transport, too. Two tram lines have their stops in front of it (lines 4 and 7). There is also a supermarket of the K chain not far away, and the Orthodox church (which is one of the most important sightseeing buildings in Helsinki) is very close too. Everything was very clean: the corridors and the kitchens, the room, and the toilets. The beds are comfortable and the mattress, the pillow and the duvet were washed and very clean too. The linens were perfect, too. To sum it up, the cleanliness (which is the most important thing, at least from my point of view) was on a top level. The space in the room is more than enough for two visitors for short stays. There is a shelf and a big wardrobe, and a chair for each of the guests, as well as a shared table. Each bed has its own night light, with two power outlets. There are blinds on the window if one has problems sleeping when the outside is not completely dark. When I booked the hostel, I thought that it was a little bit expensive, but after spending three days in Helsinki and seeing how high the cost of living is there, I think now that the price is very reasonable for what it provides - a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere, cleanliness, and a convenient location. I can only recommend it.

Eurohostel is great value for money: even a basic shared room has plenty of storage space with lockable wardrobes and a set of shelves, as well as comfortable shared lounges and kitchens with plenty of space in the fridge. Sauna is also included. The staff are friendly, there is a laundry room and luggage storage available to visitors. The location is excellent in a quiet residential neighbourhood with the city centre only a short walk away, convenient public transport links and multiple supermarkets nearby. All the facilities were clean and in good shape and the room was warm. Birdsong recordings playing in the bathrooms were a nice and quirky touch.

The staff were fantastically helpful on everything I asked, timetables, tickets, stamps, you name it - they sorted me out. They even gave us really thoughtful commentary on how to use the hostel sauna which was appreciated by sauna novices! The room was great value for money with a nice space for table and chairs. The morning sauna session was fantastic and I am a total convert.

I like the location of the hostel - the places I have come to visit are nearby. I like the small rooms. I like the kitchen that includes everything one needs.
