CheapSleep Hostel Helsinki Reviews

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

It takes about 30 minutes by train to reach Helsinki Central Station, but I didn’t find it inconvenient at all. There’s a well-stocked 24-hour supermarket right next to the hotel, which was incredibly convenient. The shared kitchen was well-equipped and easy to use even during dinner time. Everything was clean and well-maintained, the reception staff were kind, and the other guests were all friendly.

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.

The beds in the bedroom are behind partitions, so sunlight may not reach if you are at the end of the room. Each bed has sockets and a lamp, but it was not always easy to plug in the socket. In the evening, the kitchen can be crowded due to the large number of people.

Our room was nice. We arrived in winter but the room is warm and comfy. The location is about 300m walk from tram stop and you also can buy groceries from the shop at the ground level.

Location walkable distance from bus stop. Manageable even with slight upslope and heavy luggage. Kitchen & shared toilet are clean. Room is very small, cleanliness can be improved as we saw stains on pillow case. Ceiling was also dirty. All in all, it is still alright for a 1 day stay.

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

Put into an 18 bed dorm with absolutely no ventilation. The infrastructure was there however no airflow. Temps were in mid 30’s and most uncomfortable. The foam / latex mattresses made sure you roasted. Kitchen and bathrooms were always disgustingly dirty mainly because what I believe were the longer term residents just not cleaning up after themselves Major design issue with the urinals as there was not fresh water flush installed so you had urine fermenting away all day. The stench made me want to gag. Ok it was cheap however this place is a health risk. Avoid at all costs

Great for the price range, but it is still a 19 euro place, so nothing more than that to be expected. But for a cheap option I would recommend

calm, can't sleep, some kind of commotion is going on, people are shouting, drinking is going on

Good value for fair price. Good location, very close to tram and bus stations, If you're coming to Helsinki by plane, you can go directly to the hostel from the airporty by bus no 600. 24 hours market and cafes just nearby. Hostel offers you lot of activities, depends on day of the week. Overall it's clean, breakfasts are OK, staff at the reception is nice & helpfull, common things available here like i.e. luggage storage, free ear plugs and so on. My only con is - no curtains by the beds. If you have really bad luck, just as I had, you may draw a lower bed in dorm just by the door to the room. Every single person, just by opening the door, allows stream of bright light right into your face which is frustrating, especially in the middle of the night. A piece of cloth, just hanging along the bed could solve this issue and keep a minimum of privacy.
