Was a lovely hostel, close to the city centre. Room was nice and the communication from the staff was great (i made a noise complaint and they sorted it). The shower and toilet facilities were good, but the urinals were blocked off and then a resident broke the toilet seat which remained broken until the next day. But other than that it was clean and perfect for what i needed and had a great kitchen to use.
for finland cheap, very central, you get what you pay :-)

The address given in the booking and confimation email is almost impossible to find. No buildings have numbers and there are very few street names. The area is deserted on a Sunday evening.
After a long and stressful search I finally found someone to advise me.
The entrance is in a *different street* to that indicated by Google maps.

Not very luxuorius, but it was nice to have a private space!
Let me start with the prompt response you receive on any issue from the host
It is simply a home away from home. Clean, safe and close to everything and anything in Helsinki
Shocking hostel, I thought I was going to pass out with the heat and no air con or fan, unclean, no staff

Room clean but hot. Broken blind meant unable to keep out light. No staff if assistance required. Not enough toilets. Stay OK but place a bit depressing.
One thing I observed about this property is their prompt response to any issue raised and finding immediate solution where possible.
Nice experience, will come again
The property is located very near to Merihaka Bus Stop in the Kallio district. Bus 16 and 55 goes directly from the Helsinki Central Station.
The property entrance was bit difficult to find as it is on 11th floor of an office tower. And there were so many doors and entrances with Keycode locks that we got confused. Moreover, the phone was not reachable. So we struggled a bit but finally could make out by ourselves only. One needs to climb the stairs to 1st floor and then get into a building (tower) by the name of Meritorni.
The room is very small with a refrigerator, kettle 2 cups and 2 plates and some cutleries. The room looks a bit old but was clean and well organized. The view from the room is pretty amazing. You can see the whole of Helsinki from different sides of the hostel. The toilets are shared but very clean and tidy. Wifi was good.
There is a K Supermarket, Pharmacy and a restaurant (Merihaka Ravintola) in vicinity for quick food.
The best part we liked was the early checkin possibility from the staffs. The room was ready to be checked in at 7 am for us. That was very kind of them.
The best thing was the location. It was great to be so high and have a nice wiev over the City. Also it was near the metro. The bad thing was that there were never any staff at place. There were no toiletpaper in the toilet and no soap either. I never saw any possibility to coock food either. So I will give it 7 out of 10 points in general.

The hostel itself was actually fairly nice, but there was hair all over the sheets so it clearly hadn't been changed giving it a uncomfortable and grubby feel
This place is very modest, fits when you just need a short sleep with low budget. Instructions with codes are sent by e-mail, but somehow the codes at front door did not passed several times. Same code for room worked well, though. Low comfort, lousy pillow, but at least quiet room

I didnt receive any email re my access to the property.
I did not feel comfortable here with the main issue being lack of cleanliness. The bathrooms and other shared areas including the kitchen did not look or feel clean. There was strong bad smells in the showers and toilets. It appeared to be an older building and the condition of the facilities was generally poor. It is in an unusual area away from main sites but the light rail stop is a fairly short walk (can be difficult with luggage in the snow). The entrance was somewhat difficult to find. As the accomodation is not staffed, there is also no where to leave bags after checking out in the morning which was difficult as I did not fly out until the evening. It is not very soundproof as I could hear others in nearby rooms late at night. I would not return and would advise staying elsewhere.

Cheap, no human contact access.
Cheap, nice view. Clean but worn out. Black out curtains broken in some rooms. Checkout time was flexible without extra cost. No reception, automatic SMS door code received.
