SweetDream Guesthouse - Hostel

Helsinki

Nice area of Helsinki.  Pretty standard.  Good service.  The bathroom could use an upgrade.

Good stay

Toilet is reasonably clean and there are multiple ones around the apartment so you almost never have to wait to use a toilet because only very few ppl will be sharing one. I stayed during Christmas and free gingerbread cookies and glogi is provided for free in the common area - very festive and very sweet. There are some basic free food and snacks provided too if you're low on budget -jam, honey, tea, yogurt, pasta and chocolate.

There is no curfew and you'll be given the front door code alongside your keycard so you could get in the house any time you want. Checkout is also very simple, you only have to drop your keycard into the box. 

Location is pretty great too and it's manageable even if this is your first trip to Helsinki. It's like a 3 minutes walk from the closest metro station. Theres a bus station with buses going directly to city centre and central railway station. Multiple supermarkets are around and theres one that opens 24/7.

Really sweet staff and great location!

It was fine. The beds were clean and the kitchen was cleaned daily. The couches had crumbs all over them and there were only one or two toilets for everyone staying in the hostel, so there was often a long wait in the morning. An okay budget option if the other hostels are booked. you get what you pay for. On the upside, it’s extremely close to the metro which will get you straight to Kamppi or Rautatientori, and Kallio is a fun neighborhood.

okay hostel

My stay here was ok. It was a bit noisy by other guests. The bathrooms was the only real issue I had with this place. Only 2 toilets and 2 showers. There seemed to always be a line (at busy hours morning/night). The one bathroom had a really bad smell. Location was perfect. Took bus 615 from airport, the stop was just out the door across the street. Walking distance to down town Helsinki. Took me about 30 mins to walk but I stop lots to take photos.

Good location bad bathrooms

I was impressed with the amount of information there. From events to what buses to catch. Loved the personal lockers that worked with personal key cards. Staff very friendly, woman even carried my luggage up the steps!

I felt in a  prison  in a developing country.

The room was extremely small and also the beds.

People were out in the common area cooking and being noisy late into the night despite the posted quiet hours. The room was very hot - don't know why the blinds were open to let all the sun in before we arrived. The bathrooms were clean enough. Location was okay; not much around but close to a metro station. Probably won't be back if we visit Helsinki again.

Noisy & Hot

Location, absolutely perfect. Bus from airport, basically to doorstep.  All shops, food, markets within walking distance.

Only had one night here as I was couch surfing the rest of the time but if I return to Helsinki (more like when - Helsinki is awesome!) then I’ll have more time here.

Booked a room at 7pm, got sent details to self check in prior to 8pm and let myself in at 10pm. 

Beds were comfortable, the hostel nice, quiet and homely and the showers excellent. Next day I was able to leave my case at the hostel while I went to sight see and pick it up later that day. To top it off, Will, working there, was one the nicest guys I’ve had the pleasure of having a conversation with. 

No complaints whatsoever and recommended. 

Excellent Stay

Really nice and friendly hostel in Helsinki with the cheapest prices. The staff are very welcoming and help you with the check in. There are lockets in  room and operated with the key card so not need to bring an additional padlock.
The hostel is situated very close to a metro stop two stops from the Central railway and is a nice 30min walk from the Senator Square. They're are good facilities for a hostel including clean sheets and bedding, towels are extra charge and fully operational kitchen. WiFi is good and space for eating, working and socialising.
A possibility to rent a sauna and free use of computer. Some minor points for improvement, beds are squeaky, so late arrivals or early risers may disturb others sleeping. They are the metal bunk beds, with rather thin mattresses. They are OK to sleep in for a few nights, but not if you do not feel uncomfortable and need to move around in the night! The lighting system could be updated with more sensor based lighting, especially in the bathroom and toilet areas. The air quality is ok, but some people with sensitive allergies may find the air circulation is not the best. All in all, for the No frills  hostel in Helsinki, it is probably the best for the price
