CheapSleep Hostel Helsinki

All good, I would like to praise the two guys for keeping the hygiene etc for the whole place spick and span from kitchen to rooms. They are doing an excellent job tidying/cleaning it.Even though the location is served by trams and buses, it's still a bit far from the city centre and public transport is a quite expensive for a single trip.

This hostel is spread over two floors and has a large communal area in both. Upstairs is a long thin area with lots of tables and seating and a small kitchen with fridges to store your food and drink. Downstairs is square and next to the reception and bar. The rooms also come off of the communal areas which is rather weird as you have to walk past everyone to get to the showers and toilets...not to everyone's liking!|These facilities were okay and were cleaned every day, however, the showers haven't been kept clean from mould which isn't very hygienic. The showers downstairs where my room was had five of them in a line in one room and as such meant that there were two rooms for the different sexes. |There was ample space in my room and the lockers were great. They operate an all in one key card system for the front door, your room door and the locker which makes it very easy for you. Inside the room each bunk had a night light and socket but no privacy curtain.|The staff were multi nationals and all of them were friendly and helpful. There's not a great deal around the hotel but there is a twenty four hour supermarket next door which is handy. It's also very easy to get the airport bus to the hostel as it stops just a five minute walk away.|The hostel location does require you to use transport to see the tourist sites but with bus and tram stops on the doorstep this isn't a problem. Top tip: Download the HSL app and buy your tickets on it before getting on the bus at the airport. There's a range of different tickets on there depending on your needs.|The breakfast all you can eat buffet was excellent with many different choices of food and drink. Top tip: Buy your breakfast with your booking as it's cheaper than buying it when you get to the hostel.

I had a really fun stay at Cheap Sleep Hostel. One of the highlights was the game night we played Jenga and Uno with people from different countries, which made the atmosphere super social and enjoyable. A special shout-out to Manoj at the reception. He immediately caught my vibe and invited me to join the games, which made the experience even better. He did the morning shift and came to play with us. We had a great time and lots of laughs. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and great at bringing people together. I think he mentioned he’s from Nepal. Thanks for making the stay so memorable🔥

Spent three great days at CheapSleep. The location was convenient and the room was clean and quiet. All the staff was friendly, helpful and professinal. Special thanks to Maria and Celal, who made my stay an experience to remember. I will definitely come back to CheapSleep and to Helsinki, with the hope of having both of them as my hosts once more🙂

I had such an amazing stay at CheapSleep Helsinki! The atmosphere was super cozy and welcoming from the moment I arrived. The place is clean, well organized, and perfect if you want something affordable but still comfortable. And I have to give a special shoutout to Ruben, Tximista and Batiste, Chau— they are honestly the funniest people ever and the best workers you could ask for They made everything so much warmer and more fun. You can really feel that they care about the guests and love what they do. Would 100% recommend staying here when you’re in Helsinki

My stay at this hostel was almost perfect. The location could have been more in the center, but I knew about it before booking it. The 18 bed female dorm more seemed to be like a 4 bed dorm because there were walls in between the bunk beds. The locker was bit small. The toilets, kitchen and showers were really clean even though there were many people. There was a free hairdryer to use. I just stayed for 1 night, but this place is definitely nice. They also stored my luggage after checkout for free.

- Best hostel experience in Europe so far - I will come again, I highly recommend this for solo travellers & for people travelling with friends to go around Helsinki. Staff - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cleanliness - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Convenience - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Comfort - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highlights: * The events they host when you have nothing to do is great fun if you love team based games & casual activity. The staff & hostel visitors from around the world are encouraged to join. There are arcades, board games, foosball & beer pong to access. * I have to shoutout multiple staff that were outstandingly welcoming, helpful & fun to be around: Thank you Eino, Manoj, Rashmi, Maria João, Baptiste, Ruben and Txim. Thank you, Manisha (the new girl being trained with Maria & Manoj), she helped my beer pong team win a game! and thank you to the dashing gentleman from Nepal (topknot guy) whose name I forgot. Thank you to all the cleaning staff, I only got the name of Sujan (guy with black hat & long hair). I have to extend my gratitude to Maria João for serving me drinks & being a great game team mate, host & playing bloody good music - and finally, Baptiste, the GOAT!he joined some of the hostel visitors & I out of his working hours to the “Samposauna” and kept us alive & well! New visitors, look out for these guys. Key points: * It’s an easy & straightforward check-in process. * The kitchen has the equipment you need for self-service cooking; there’s an induction stove, electric stove, 2 ovens, multiple category bins, 3 fridges, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, kettle, 2 stainless steel sinks & 2 extractor fans. * The toilets and the kitchens are generally clean, but depend on the hostel visitors during their use. * The Laundry room access is €10 with a free washing pod and the room is on the 4th floor. It has 2 washing machines & 2 dryers with a free iron & board to use. * If you’re working/studying, you can book for free a private workplace room. * If you are an avid book reader there are shelves of books to look out for. * There’s a 24/7 Grocery store right next to the hostel called “Alepa” for convenience. Tips: * For new finland tourists, download the “HSL” app & make an account for public transport ticket. Always buy before you enter otherwise you’ll be fined €100. * From Helsinki Vantaa Airport to Cheapsleep it’s approximately 51mins. Take “P-Train” from the airport station “Lentoasema” to “Pasila” Station. There are tram stops from “Bolë” Station; take a Tram “7” to “Hattulantie”. * Approximately 25 Minute Tram ride from “Hattulantie” Tram Stop (1 minute walk from Cheapsleep) to “Rautatieasema” Helsinki Central Station. * Keep your food in a bag in the fridge and label it. * Get the breakfast in advance. * I recommend going to a free Finnish sauna access “Samposauna” that is on a beautiful island. It is 7 mins away via “Bolt” €5-€10 fee depending on timing.

I had a wonderful experience at Cheap Sleep Hostel, and I especially want to thank Manoj at the reception. He was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely helpful throughout my stay. He went above and beyond what was necessary to make sure I felt comfortable and taken care of!!

The hostel has nearly been open for 2 years, we had a private room which was fine, the room had a double bed, a desk, space to put your clothes and a bed light. The room was comfortable for two people and the shared bathrooms were super close! The kitchen facilities are awesome, plenty of kitchen utensils, pots and pans to use. Free wi-fi which is fast and efficient :) met some well travelled people, varying in age! Overall the experience was great, one downer was some of the reception staff, a smile goes a long way!!

Friendly staff, very clean room with double bed, desk, closet, lamp and bathroom. The bed was very comfortable and the free wifi was very fast. The kitchen is great for cooking and there's a small area where you can watch tv and talk to other guests. Not a lot of noise at night. Also a very easy and simple way of checking out, even in the early hours. Overall, we had a wonderful stay here.
