Paper thin walls. Heard snoring from other room and alarm clocks going off in the morning.

It’s hard to rate a hostel that you see nobody, but it was clean and close to the airport

Interesting approach for a hostel
This place is actually quite amazing for a hostel. It's like a cross between a hotel and a hostel. It is well-organized and very clean The place does feel a bit institutional but it is still a very good place to stay as hostels go. It is a bit pricy but, from what I can tell, that seems to be more a factor of the accommodations industry in Helsinki overall - every place I saw was more expensive.

This was a typical hostel with simple single rooms with basic amenities. The sheets were crisp and clean and the duvet and blanket was very comfortable. It's a very short walk from the airport and you can take the luggage cart all the way there on pedestrian paths, which are everywhere. I couldn't get the water hot in shower but everything was very clean. It's a great place to day trip out of to downtown Helsinki by the train or the bike share- there are actually bike/walking trails all the way! I ran to downtown and it was about 18 km and there were no places I felt unsafe. I took the train back later at night and it was well lit and safe. There aren't common areas to hang out and the rooms are tiny so its not a place to hang out or meet people. The kitchen isn't really large enough to cook in but you could make due in a pinch. T

Pleasantly surprised at the quality of this budget rate accommodation. Arrived at 11pm and walked down to the hostel from Helsinki Airport. Well lit pavements and took no more than ten minutes. Entry code arrived as promised. It took me a couple of minutes to work out which keypad to enter the code in to get access through the second set of doors (ignore the silver boxes, it’s the small keypad on the right). Had room 406 on the 4th floor. Lift was clean, and keypad to room worked fine, actually better than carrying around a key or keycard. Room was fine, single bed already made and comfortable. Went to sleep quite quickly, and woke up to my alarm going off for my early morning flight. Showers and toilets clean. Shampoo and shower gel provided in shower. Towels and bedding clean. An easy walk back to the airport for my 6am flight. No complaints at all and will use the hostel again at th end of August.

Underrated and pretty convenient!
Clean and organized budget hostel! Many restrooms, showers and kitchens throughout different levels. In room microwave, coffee machine, electric hot water kettle, mini fridge, tv and cabinets for your stuff. Literally 15 mins of walking from / to Vantaa Airport terminal. Pedestrian walkway with directing signs. Timely communication with property access info from the host. Definitely will consider in the future. Thanks!

Budget hotel stay near airport for a few hours
This was a budget stay just for a few hours sleep before a flight, everything was adequate except for bed cleanliness - I found a few hairs wrapped up in the duvet which made me doubt if it had been cleaned at all. That was really off putting. Otherwise only 15 minutes walk to the airport, bring earplugs as you can hear your neighbours along with an eye mask as there are only blinds that do not block out all light, there is a trip hazard at the entrance that I fell over which seems to be a large bolt screw sticking up, there was a coffee maker and fridge in the room along with a TV and the bed was comfortable. But a clean bed is the most important thing and I'm not sure it was. Personally wouldn't feel safe being here alone, communication was only via phone, no reception.

Simple single room
Very simple accommodation. A bit far from the airport, but it's still possible to walk to the hostel also with a bigger luggage. Getting inside the building was a bit confusing, because at the entrance there were at least three different keypads for different pin codes. The room was clean but a bit old-fashioned and not very comfortable. My room also smelled like an old bar, clearly some customers had been smoking inside. (I couldn't complain about it though, because I arrived in the middle of the night and needed to sleep.)

Welcome to your personal Gulag !
Not really. Making your own bed, then a room which is like 8m2? Not one sign on the street. Mega cold and in an old office building? Absolutely never again. The bed is 80cm x 1.80 cm. That’s how I imagine a prison cell.

Realistic review
tldr; not clean but acceptable if you don't care Full review: 3rd party bookers don't send all info so we had to call to get our room code. "Only a 15 minute walk from the airport" but the way to go is not clear &miserable in the snow with luggage so you will most likely take a taxi. all the taxis have a 19€ minimum. Which made it the same cost as the holiday inn with free shuttle. Upon arrival there were 4 boxes with keypads but only 1 of them is functional and instructions not clear (use a #). This was stressful at 1am but resolved quickly. It's an old office building, but i don't mind- reduce and reuse. i was plenty warm in January. 2 twin beds so my husband &i had to sleep separately-whatever. My problem: the beds were disgusting. Logically, I know I've slept in much worse in college but ew. you make the bed yourself which just highlights all the gross stains. Brown mattress with what looked like a blood stain, dingy white/brown pillow and duvet. The linens looked cleaned at first but when i opened them up they were also stained and had hairs on them! No kidding there were small black curly hairs on my "clean" duvet cover. My husband couldn't care less so he had no problem, but i was about to call a cab (no refund policy) when he reminded me we had new linens in our luggage from a gift. In the night the bathroom was gross but i caught them just after cleaning in the morning. I survived. He was content. But was it worth saving 50$?

Early flight overnight stay
OK for catching some sleep before an early flight, don't recommend for longer stays. Rooms are in old office facilities and rather rough looking. Bed linen were stained and shared washroom/toilet facilities were not well kept, e.g. lacking hand soap and the hand towel dispenser was empty.
