Tourist Inn Hostel in Helsinki was a fantastic place to stay. The room was modern, very clean, and extremely comfortable, providing everything I needed for a great visit. The bathrooms were spacious and spotless, which really added to the comfort. The facilities were excellent, with everything well-maintained and convenient to use. The location is another big plus—close enough to the city centre to get around easily, yet in a peaceful spot. Overall, this hostel strikes the perfect balance between comfort, cleanliness, and convenience. I’d highly recommend Tourist Inn Hostel to anyone visiting Helsinki, and I’d definitely stay here again.

Celal from Turkey is a real lifesaver! What genuine eminent hospitality. Everyone else was also very cool and nice, so it's always great meeting them, the staff and guests from all over. The hostel itself is very well organized and clean and I was able to watch Naruto and Billy & Mandy conveniently. And well, even the one member of staff (resembling a Total Drama Island character) who didn't like me has the potential to be cool too, so cheer up! :)

Nice system. Good price . Really cheaper. Same room others hotel double price. Seems free to me. Because I was looking for a room knowing that the hotel price will be near the airport. I did not believe the price at first.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

The hostel is incredibly clean, organized and well equipped. Great location, close to the train station and walking distance to the main tourist atractions. The pre-checking is super good and cheers to the staff for the lovely letter and clear instructions. Probably one of the best hostels that I've ever been, congrats.

This must be our 5th or 6th stay at CheapSleep. The place is squeaky clean and offers everything one needs from a youth hostel. We stayed in a very comfy private room, the shared showers and toilets were extremely clean. The bus stop for the public airport bus is just a 2min walk away and the 24/7 supermarket in the same building comes in handy. Great value!

It was the best hostel I've been. They have 8 bunk beds per room, but it is from a very good quality so theres no squeaking or any kind of annoying noise, the lockers under the bed have a really good size, you can fit around 2-3 lugadge of cabin size, and they also have an additiinal lugadge room. The kitchen and bathroom were very clean, and the commons areas very cozy and nice. The location is very good, with all kinds of public transportation in a radius of 2-3 blocks. And finally, the staff was absolutely lovely.
