What guests think
At CheapSleep Hostel Helsinki, travellers highlight budget-friendly stays with friendly, helpful staff, easy public transport and airport links, and handy on-site conveniences like big social spaces and a guest kitchen, though the location sits outside the immediate city center.
Rooms are simple and compact, with mixed feedback on mattress and pillow comfort, limited bunk privacy, occasional summer heat, and some noise from other guests or common areas. Cleanliness is praised frequently, yet several reviews report musty smells, cramped or well-worn shared bathrooms, and messy guest kitchens that would benefit from more frequent upkeep. Breakfast is available for a fee and ranges from basic to very good, with value opinions varying. Overall, it suits travellers comfortable with shared spaces and a straightforward hostel experience.

Hostel itself is a bit out of center so if you are tired during the day,you must travel approx.30 mins by tram back to hostel.Staff is very kind and helpful, i didn't stay in dorm rooms but double room with shared bedroom was good.you can use kitchen freely for cooking.toilets are probably smallest toilets i have seen,i hit my everywhere in toilets and showers.in double rooms floor,showers has transparent glasses,so for private showers you should go to other part of hostel.there is a book swap chance in hostel,so bring your book which you have finished to get a new one.activities are cool,there are game nights etc for socializing.but 8 euro breakfast seemed a bit expensive to me,if you want there is also supermarket downstairs,it works 24 hours.

good hostel to stay, cosy and very friendly staff, the only problem was the state of the common kitchen. There were only 6 fires for several hundred guests and the sinks were had mold growing in the wood of the counters.

Das Hostel hat mir gut gefallen. Es ist recht groß, von daher ballen sich die Leute nicht unbedingt (wenn nicht gerade viel los ist in der Stadt) bzw. Hatte ich den Eindruck dass die Leute gut im Haus verteilt waren. Ich hatte ein gemischtes 16ner Zimmer gebucht, der freundliche Mitarbeiter hat mir dann aber angeboten in ein 16ner Frauenzimmer zu gehen in ein Bett in einer Ecke. Vielen Dank dafür! Hat sich angefühlt wie ein Einzelzimmer teilweise. Es waren höchsten vier Frauen im Raum, sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt! Irgendwie hat kaum jemand miteinander gesprochen, also wirkte sehr anonym, was mir gelegen kam für diesen Trip. Connecten kann man ansonsten bei der Rezeption. Bad ist ordentlich mit Föhn und Duschkabinen. Lage ist top, sehr gut erreichbar vom Flughafen aus auch bei Nacht. 24h Supermarkt im Haus. Bahnverbindung zur Stadt. Küche mit allem drum und dran. Leider haben Leute ihr Zeug abends nicht aufgewaschen oder die Spüle voller Essensreste gelassen. Liebe Leute das muss nicht sein. Macht es besser, dann ist es für alle ein günstiges schönes Zuhause auf Zeit. Danke liebes Hostel, ich würde euch weiterempfehlen und bin echt begeisterst von der Aufmerksamkeit des Herren, der mir den besten Platz gegeben hat den ich haben konnte. Danke :)

A bit far from the city center. But is well connected by tram. There are nice pubs and restaurants nearby. The breakfast is very nice. The best part about this hostel is the super friendly staff who organise gamenights and movie nights. Probably the best hostel I have stayed in.

This is a cheap place to stay, as the name implies. So I suppose it's not fair to expect too much. That said, it has a bit of a grungy feel to it, which made me uncomfortable. The bed was fine (clean), but whole place smelled a bit musty, and especially the bathroom, which is also the shower room (rows of toilet stalls on one side, shower stalls on the other). I enjoyed the breakfast, and it wasn't a bad price (by Finland prices). They do charge extra for a towel (3€ at the time of the review), so bring your own if you can. As their own pictures show, the beds do not have any curtains or other ways to make yourself not visible to others in the room. Each room (which can have lots of beds in it, depending on your booking) has a locked door that can only be opened from the outside by keycards belonging to those staying in the room, and that provides some sense of security and privacy. Lockers are available for storing valuables. Overall, it was probably worth the cost. But I didn't enjoy the "vibe" of the place. If I'm back in Helsinki, I would see if I can find a cleaner, more appealing place to stay at.

It’s ok to stay for one night. The hostel team was very friendly and welcoming! The bathrooms were really dirty and it was pretty closely so you couldn’t move sometimes. You got some privacy in the room although there were a lot of people - but it’s gets very very hot at night.

Loved this hostel! It’s easy to get there from the airport and it’s within walking distance to where Tuska festival is being held (the purpose of my trip). There a 24/7 supermarket right next to the hostel as well. Room and bathroom were clean. Staff is really friendly. Had some trouble with the lock on my door and they were very helpful and quick to fix it. The pillow on the bed could’ve been better but everything else was great! I would definitely stay here again!

I slept in a 24-bed co-ed dorm, 5 nights, and had an overall good experience. The hotel is located conveniently close to bus and tram stops, and shopping options (convenience store below). Cleanliness was acceptable, and the facilities were generally functional and ok. I did have to cope with snoring guests a lot, so I was glad I brought earplugs, but these are also for sale in the lobby. The common area is cozy and the lobby/bar is manned 24/7 by helpful staff with excellent English. Check-in and check out was s breeze, and the breakfast buffet was basic but good. All together good value.

Location
Not central but well connected by tram and bus, with easy links to downtown and the airport. A 24/7 supermarket is in the same building, though nearby dining options can be limited.

Loved this hostel! It’s easy to get there from the airport and it’s within walking distance to where Tuska festival is being held (the purpose of my trip). There a 24/7 supermarket right next to the hostel as well. Room and bathroom were clean. Staff is really friendly. Had some trouble with the lock on my door and they were very helpful and quick to fix it. The pillow on the bed could’ve been better but everything else was great! I would definitely stay here again!

I slept in a 24-bed co-ed dorm, 5 nights, and had an overall good experience. The hotel is located conveniently close to bus and tram stops, and shopping options (convenience store below). Cleanliness was acceptable, and the facilities were generally functional and ok. I did have to cope with snoring guests a lot, so I was glad I brought earplugs, but these are also for sale in the lobby. The common area is cozy and the lobby/bar is manned 24/7 by helpful staff with excellent English. Check-in and check out was s breeze, and the breakfast buffet was basic but good. All together good value.

Better than expected. It was affordable, the staff was nice and the availability of transit passes to go around Helsinki was very much appreciated. That said, unfortunately the area surrounding the hostel does not have a lot of restaurants around, so you'd have to walk for about 15-20 mins to find an area that has a variety of restaurants.

Hostel itself is a bit out of center so if you are tired during the day,you must travel approx.30 mins by tram back to hostel.Staff is very kind and helpful, i didn't stay in dorm rooms but double room with shared bedroom was good.you can use kitchen freely for cooking.toilets are probably smallest toilets i have seen,i hit my everywhere in toilets and showers.in double rooms floor,showers has transparent glasses,so for private showers you should go to other part of hostel.there is a book swap chance in hostel,so bring your book which you have finished to get a new one.activities are cool,there are game nights etc for socializing.but 8 euro breakfast seemed a bit expensive to me,if you want there is also supermarket downstairs,it works 24 hours.

Nice hostel with many good features. A few little tweaks would make it even better such as curtains on the beds. Excellent breakfast and friendly multi national staff.

This is a cheap place to stay, as the name implies. So I suppose it's not fair to expect too much. That said, it has a bit of a grungy feel to it, which made me uncomfortable. The bed was fine (clean), but whole place smelled a bit musty, and especially the bathroom, which is also the shower room (rows of toilet stalls on one side, shower stalls on the other). I enjoyed the breakfast, and it wasn't a bad price (by Finland prices). They do charge extra for a towel (3€ at the time of the review), so bring your own if you can. As their own pictures show, the beds do not have any curtains or other ways to make yourself not visible to others in the room. Each room (which can have lots of beds in it, depending on your booking) has a locked door that can only be opened from the outside by keycards belonging to those staying in the room, and that provides some sense of security and privacy. Lockers are available for storing valuables. Overall, it was probably worth the cost. But I didn't enjoy the "vibe" of the place. If I'm back in Helsinki, I would see if I can find a cleaner, more appealing place to stay at.

The hostel is near two major lines, you can go to the center of the city in15 minutes and the airport in 20 min. There is a mini market downstairs that’s open 24/7. Staff was nice and very diverse which made it a bit of a challenge communicating in English, French and even Swedish. Other great idea was to place monitors so you can check screens throughout the hostel with schedules for transportation. Breakfast was complementary for us but for 8€ you can skip that and buy something much better elsewhere. What made our stay not so great, was the lack of consideration of other guests. By not cleaning after themselves when using the common kitchen and behave in a decent manner. Or speaking way to loud after midnight in the common areas.

I needed a Hostel at a fair price as I was travelling alone. Opted for a 4 bed dorm with free breakfast. Everything was great but the most important thing for me was the close bus route No. 600 which goes to the Airport. Perfect , with bus stop less than 10 minutes away. Also late bar open and kitchen facilities if required. 24 hour convenience store next door , superb Portuguese Restaurant across the road and also a Rock Bar. Didn't use public transport but walked everywhere in the City that I wanted to visit within easy distance from the Hostel.
