2-Star Hotels in Uusimaa, Finland

I was only informed that the morning sauna was free, so I paid to use the sauna at night. However, I’m now wondering if guests staying at the hotel were actually allowed to use the sauna at night for free as well, since I heard that other guests using the sauna didn’t pay. it’s amazing that you can stay at a hotel with a sauna included for this price.

Fantastic location with super convenient public transport! There's a direct overnight bus from the airport to the hostel, and numerous bus routes available to reach the city center. The hostel is well-equipped with excellent facilities, including a very handy communal kitchen. The environment is lovely, and the hygiene is impeccable – it's spotless and has a really pleasant, refined vibe. Service is outstanding, with warm and friendly staff. Even though the dorm rooms have a good number of beds, they are surprisingly orderly, quiet, and incredibly clean. I would absolutely choose to stay here again!

Door codes work like they should. When we go inside there starts welcomig music and screen says welcome. Entrance, kitchen, livingroom, bathrooms are spacious and clean. Our room also was clean and there was enough room for three people, 2 adults and 1 children. Hotel is located in peaceful area, so we get good sleep even the window was open.

女性用ドミトリーに宿泊しました。 全体的に温かみがあって居心地が良かったです。トコジラミなどは見当たりませんでした。 立地がとても良く、徒歩で主要な中心街の観光は殆ど可能です。 最寄りのソルナイネン駅は政府から治安に関する勧告が出ているため、特に女性は夜間外出は控えた方が良いかも知れません。今は夏で日照時間が長いため、私は特に気にしませんでした。 チェックインもスムーズで、時間外の方への対応も分かりやすいと思います。 キッチンは時間により混み合いますが、使いやすいです。 調味料などはありますが、どれがホステルのものなのかが分かりにくかったです。バスタオルやアメニティなどはありません。ドライヤーはあります。 スタッフの方が親切なのと、女性用の部屋のセキュリティもきちんとしており、また利用したいと思っております。

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.

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.

Senate Hotel, although basic, is situated well for local attractions - 10 minutes walk from the shops/ restaurants/nightlife of Helsinki city centre; 15 minutes walk from the harbour, if you arrive by ferry; and right next to Senate Square/Helsinki Cathedral. The hotel, itself, is based in an apartment building, on the fifth floor, and has ten rooms. There's a five-hour window, in which there's a receptionist to meet you (3-8pm). Outside of this time, you are given a code to enter the main door of the building, and then the front door of the hotel section, which I had to do. As it turned out, a friendly staff member was still there when I arrived, and I was fortunate enough to be given a free room upgrade. The double room I was given, was larger than average, and included a wash basin and small refrigerator. The bathroom and toilets are shared, but clean with a good, strong shower, and separate men's and women's toilets. There's also a small shared kitchen, so you could prepare food. My hotel room had a comfy bed, and good thick enough curtains which, if you're here in the height of Summer, means you won't be woken by the sunrise before 4am! The decor is a bit dated, but if you need info on what to do, where to go, and what's happening in Helsinki, there's lots of information. This is more of a short-stay hotel - a few days, at most, but if you need a well-located, warm, simple place to base yourself while in the city, this is actually a good choice.

It may be a problem of cultural differences. There are currently no hair dryers inside. Asian girls please pay attention😇 The location is a bit like on the second floor. The taxi cannot be delivered directly to the door. It is quite troublesome. I found the way to get upstairs from the parking lot by myself, but I took a lot of detours before I found it. The luggage was heavy and it was tiring to walk up the big slope opposite🤣 It was also tiring to walk upstairs from the parking lot. Finally, I found the inconspicuous, dirty and smelly elevator, but it was not in the hotel, but in the space of the entire community🥺 The hostel cannot be blamed, but it is completely invisible from these introductions. It happened to be in June, and it was always daytime. The sun did not set until 10 o'clock. Their curtains did not block the sun very well. This must be pointed out🥹 Specially leave a message to other interested guests to explain that the price is affordable. If you can accept these, of course it is still highly recommended. The interior is very clean, and the customer service replies to messages through WA very quickly🙏

Great places, only had one roommate super peaceful hostel, ferry was absolutely on time so make sure you schedule yourself for that otherwise it’s a solid 40 mins wait in winter.
