CheapSleep Hostel Helsinki

Superb

Superb

This hostel proves that cheap...

Liked: The hostel was really cheap compared to other hostels or B&B's in Helsinki, so I must confess that I had not expected this hostel to be this good. CheapSleep exceeded all my expectations. The places was big, but the rooms and beds were clean and also not as noisy as other reviews suggest. Also nice staff organizing a lot of activities. Personally I loved the table football tournament. :-)
Disliked: For this price I can't complain too much about the hostel itself. Only the location was not ideal. It was quite a walk to the city center, but okay, I was so stubborn not to want to take public transport all the time. Unfortunately the breakfast was not included in the price.

My sincere thanks to the...

Liked: My sincere thanks to the team at CheapSleep Hostel Helsinki. I truly appreciated the clean rooms, helpful staff, and comfortable atmosphere during my stay. Everything was well organized and made my visit to Helsinki more enjoyable.CheapSleep Hostel Helsinki offers a clean, functional, and affordable option with essential amenities. It’s particularly well-suited for solo travelers, those arriving late (thanks to 24h reception), and groups on a budget. Special thanks for your hospitality and support — I will definitely recommend your hostel to others and hope to return someday!Best regards,Jahongir M.N., from PonghozAsht, Tajikistan 29/07/2025

I did not sleep well...

Liked: The rooms were clean, toilets were filthy and stinking. Perhaps you should inform your clients to avoid talking on phone inside the dormitories. It would be polite that clients go to the hall-way to speak on their phones than having people talk on phone over and over late at night when other clients are trying to sleep. Some old man walked around from the bathroom to his room butt naked, no morals at all!
Disliked: Location was near the city and next to Alepa access to shopping was 24 hours.

Visit to Helsinki

Liked: The hostel it self was clean and the staff was super lovely. Its quite central & the rooms were good for the price.
Disliked: The shared bathrooms (the mens) felt very dirty and did not feel fresh. The showers was alright but the toilets was not as good

Exceptional

Convenient and cheap

Liked: The weather was particularly hot but they had fans in the room. They had lots of space in the common areas plus all the needed services: breakfast, laundry, kitchen, dinning room, saloon….
Disliked: They needed some ventilation in the rest of the hostel. And it’s a bit away from the centre but you can download the HSL app, in there get the ticket for the number of days you are gonna stay in Helsinki. For the hostal and centre grab the AB zones ticket but if you wanna include the airport make it ABC. 3 days for zones ABC were 24eur and it includes trams, buses and ferries, you are gonna need a ferry to get to Suomelinna(a must in your first visit). Mind the private ones, I ended up paying 4.6 just for not asking before boarding.

That‘s what hostels are supposed...

Liked: Great value, clean and comfortable.
Disliked: Breakfast was underwhelming but alright for the price (8€ the day before).
