The 5 Best Hostels in Helsinki (Updated 2025)
"Awarded “Best Hostel in Finland” three years running, I found this boutique spot a five-minute walk from the central train station and the priciest hostel on the list — but worth it if you want an upscale, centrally located stay. It’s newly renovated in a contemporary Finnish style that’s minimalist yet cozy; dorms feature wooden pod beds with super-comfy mattresses, privacy curtains, outlets, personal reading lights, and lockers underneath. The atmosphere is chill and quiet (there are no social events and staff are often absent thanks to self-check-in/out), so it’s best for travelers who prefer a peaceful stay or groups who aren’t focused on meeting other travelers." - Matthew Kepnes
