Eurohostel Helsinki turned out to be a solid choice for budget-friendly accommodation in the city.
The hostel offers a good variety of rooms – from dorms to singles and twins – so you can choose depending on your budget and comfort level. I found it well located in Katajanokka, just a short walk or tram ride to the center and main sights. There are tram stops right outside, which makes getting around very easy.
Despite being a hostel, it’s quiet and peaceful, with decent soundproofing that ensures a good night’s rest. The lockers are large and practical, which is especially handy if you’re traveling with a big backpack or suitcase.
For value in Helsinki, Eurohostel is hard to beat. Prices are reasonable compared to the city average, and you even get some nice extras. The free morning sauna (7–10am) was a fantastic bonus and something very Finnish to enjoy.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, always ready to give tips about the city and transport. Breakfast was available as a buffet – quite basic, but enough to start the day.
If you’re planning to enjoy the nightlife, the hostel is also in a walkable distance to bars and clubs, plus Helsinki has night tram/bus lines to get you back safely if you stay out late.
Overall, a reliable, affordable, and comfortable option in Helsinki. Great location, helpful staff, and some unique perks like the sauna make it stand out, even if the breakfast could be more varied.
