CheapSleep is quite deservedly considered the best hostel in Finland. The price to quality ratio is absolutely excellent - it's both the most pleasant as well as, generally speaking, the cheapest hostel in Helsinki. I stayed there for a few weeks in total, always extending by a few days again and again, and really grew to like the place. The staff is very friendly and helpful all around, there's plenty of weekly events to connect with people and have some fun, and in general the vibe of the place was very approachable. I made many new friends during those two weeks, and even seriously considered the option of living there - but the staff informed me that they had just decided with the manager that long-term stays are no longer allowed. The location is excellent, just a short bus ride from the city center with another bus line almost next door connecting the hostel to Pasila/the mall of Tripla, as well as both East Helsinki and Espoo. I stayed mostly in a 4-person room which was perfect for my needs. Often empty save for one other person, it provided an especially good environment for meeting friends coming from all over the world. No problems with cleanliness. That's one of the best things about hostels, for me: a few times I asked for a change of sheets and a deeper cleanse of the room and so it was done. Very easy and comfortable place to stay at.

I had such a great time staying at this hostel! Huge shoutout to Htoo – he has such a warm and fun personality. Game nights and parties were way more fun with him around. He was super friendly, always ready to help, and honestly just really fun to talk to 😁 If you ever see an event hosted by Htoo, go for it – he brings great energy and makes everyone feel welcome. He’s someone who can truly lift the whole atmosphere. Also a big thanks to Suleyman – he was incredibly respectful, kind, and always made sure everything was spotless. The bathrooms and common areas were very well-maintained thanks to him. The kitchen was fully equipped with spoons, forks, pots, pans – and even free salt (at least during my stay 😄). Laundry room was spacious and efficient, with two washing machines and two dryers – great for longer stays. The price is fair, the vibe is social, and if you meet Htoo, you’re in for a good time. Highly recommended. In the end, I’m giving a positive review because of Htoo – he made a real difference in my stay. Thanks to him, I had some of the best memories and even made a few friends at the hostel.

A very affordable place to stay in Helsinki. It is not in the city centre but very well connected by public transportation. The area is however nice and authentic, and there are grocery stores, some nice cafes, and flea markets nearby. The hostel has everything you need but since it's huge and there are many many people, it lacks vibe. The shared kitchen and bathrooms can get crowded at peak times and you might need to wait for your turn. However, there are some socializing activities arranged by the staff and volunteers which give some opportunities to meet people. The wifi works well but it's public, w/o password - maybe useful info for those who need to work remotely.

This was my first time spending two nights at a multiple bed dorm room sleeping alongside strangers, and I was nervous about this fact, however as I was there during the off-season, in the ~20 bed room there were only about 4 people staying, so there was still a degree of privacy. Right outside my room, there was a kitchen with a bunch of amenities and a corridor with people socializing and eating, aswell as a bathroom with multiple showers and toilets. The location is good, 3 minute walk to bus and tram stops, and there's a grocery store in the same building. The low price of 20 euro/night is what set my expectations, and they have been met. I recommend this place.

Absolutely exceeded our expectations! We stayed in a private room with two beds. It was small but had everything we needed, and the high ceiling and a big window made it feel cozy and more spacious. The toilets and showers on the 4th floor were really clean and comfortable. The kitchen was clean and well equipped and the staff were all super nice and helpful! The hostel is located a bit further away from the city center, but has great tram and bus connections and the airport bus stops nearby as well. There’s also a 24h supermarket in the same building, which was really convenient. We will definitely come back!
