    • I stayed in the beginning of September for three nights and payed app. 23,- Euros per night. The staff was very polite and competent. The hostel is clean. I fell very free in the Sauna in the early morning (was alone at 6 am).

    • I chose to have a single room for my own at the Eurohostel. The bathrooms are well-maintained on all floors. Since this place is almost always filled up due to its great location and price, the reception desk can be very busy. But the workers are friendly and kept my laptop and other valuables for me (since there was no safety deposit box in the room). On the floor where I was (4th?) , somebody obviously bought fish and the hallway smelled a bit fishy - but once in my room, the smell was not noticeable. Other than that, it is a pretty great place to stay at. And when hungry at night, you can even order pizza at the restaurant on the first floor.
    The place has 255 beds, and is conveniently located 200 yards from Katajanokka ferry terminal (where Viking ships dock!), and 10 minute walk from Market Square.
    Tram #4 also conveniently stops at the side of the Eurohostel.

    Claus (cachaseiro) Rasmus (Razmatac) and Jan were waiting for me at the airport, but I was too tired to see them. I had forgotten the pin code of my phone, so I could not turn it on to call them either. I decided to take the airport shuttle bus into Helsinki, and found tram no 4 which took me to the hostel. I managed to choose the bed I wanted in our Triple Backpackers room before they got there ;-) (Jan had a room of his own). While the others went to town to get some lunch, I dived onto the bed. Hadn' slept at all the night before. I already knew from another VT tip that the matresses were hard, and had wanted to reserve a Eurohostel room which have a higher standard. They were all full, but that did not prevent me from sleeping like a log for five hours. I did not even notice that the others came back for a nap.

    We all got up in time for a late dinner, and after a couple of hours I went back to bed for another 12 hours!

    Centrally located on the peninsula Katajanokka, 15 - 20 minutes walking distance from downtown, 5 minutes from the ferry terminal Skatuddskajen / Viking Line. I would strongly suggest you book Eurohostel rooms, the price difference is not that big, but the quality much better. We payed 23.20 Euro per bed per night in a triple backpacker's, and 13.70 Euro for an axtra bed (for Brad, with a better mattress!) the second night. Communal bathrooms with showers down the hallway, and a kitchen per floor.

    Basic rooms but spotless clean. Nice staff at the reception desk.
    You get a key card which you have to carry with you all the time. No one but you can open the door which is a nice thought. If you stay longer then 4 nights you get clean sheets and towel after the 4th night. You can't expect daily changes for this price.

    Shared shower and toilet facilities on the hallway.

    Simple but good breakfast buffet.

    cons: noisy elevator

    Sauna on the top floor. Free to use in the mornings, in the evening you had to pay a small fee.

    Next to the ferry terminal to Sweden.

    • Nice place to stay. Not so near downtown, but with easy access via tram.

    At that time, I divided the room with a belgian guy travelling in Lappland. We exchanged some experience on that...

    The great thing about hostels are the people you meet.

    the eurohostel is a very nice and clean place.
    the kinda place i would both recommend to young backpackers aswell as more mature people who are more concerned about the town they are visiting than uniformed doormen and minibars in their room.

    clean, well run and very centrally located..

    A rather nice place to stay, not far from the Esplanade, in the peninsula where the Vilong Line Ferry Terminal is located. Friendly atmosphere, youth hostel style.

    34,5 Euros, including a morning sauna (in the evening you have to pay. They can arrange reservations to St.Petersburg International Hostel (with the confirmation you can apply the Russian Visa).

    I'd never stayed in a hostel prior to staying at the Eurohostel in Helsinki - but this isn't like most hostels.

    Eurohostel has no large dorms (all rooms are singles, doubles and triples). Facilities are shared - each of the 5 floors has a communal kitchen (which includes a TV) and separate bathrooms for males and females.

    The ground floor has all the services you could want - a cafe, 24 hour reception, laundry service, guidebooks and newspapers, vending machines, luggage storage, public telephones, satellite TV - while the top floor contains a sauna. A free morning sauna is included in the price of a bed (but there is a small charge if you want an evening sauna). I never took advantage of the free sauna, so cannot comment further.

    The hostel houses 255 beds in 135 rooms on 5 floors. The rooms are sparsely furnished (beds, wardrobes, a couple of wooden chairs and a wooden table), but they are clean and well heated. Bedding and towels are provided. The beds are not particularly comfortable - the mattresses are either very thin or non-existent - but I've experienced worse.

    The bathrooms are clean and there was always hot water in the showers. We never used the kitchen facilities, so again I can't pass further comment.

    The location is excellent, especially if you arrive on a Viking Line ferry (in which case, the hostel is a 2 minute walk from the ferry terminal). We arrived on a Tallink ferry from Tallinn, and the hostel was about a 25 minute walk from that terminal. Senate Square is just a 10 minute walk from the hostel.

    The price is about 23 Euros per person per night (breakfast not included), and further discounts are available for regular visitors (every 7th night free).

    A good value, conveniently located hostel. Recommended if you're travelling on a budget.

    Eurohostel is located within a ten minute walk from the bus station and even less from the Katajanokka harbor. The staff is very helpful, friendly, and fluent in quite a few languages. There is pricey internet available in the lobby along with video poker. There is also a good restaurant called Katajanmarja attached to the hostel.

    The rooms are basic and the walls seemed quite thin--bring earplugs. Bathrooms and showers are also your standard healthclub or dorm style showers. Linen included along with tons of information on Helsinki and other nearby cities. Free sauna in the morning.

    Prices were a little steep for a hostel, but you must take into account the very high price of hotel accommodation in the city as well.
