Home Hotel Jugend

I loved my expierince at home hotel JugendWhen I arrived in Helsinki I asked for help to find what team to take I get what I’m told but then got confused as it kept flashing up two names ( which I later learnt that streets have Finish and Swedish names as Swedish is an official launguage?Any I was under the idea that I was miles away as my journey took agesNext day I I was trying to find an art museumTrain station I’d got if at was ten mi s walk team goes its own route that takes in a big areas before it gets there so location is actually very good ten mins walk from city centre it’s set in nice are of lots of restaurants and bars The hotel it self is wonderful and quirky My main reason trip was for Co cert which cancelled due to illness of singer if I’m able to make rearranged sat I’d love to go back to this wonderfull hitellStaff are polite friendly and helpfulBreakfast and dinner us both very nice and free coffe 24/7 and room is clean and comfortableI’d highly reccomend

Good location, kind customer service. Room were tidy, but could be more comfortable, like more drawers or better bed backrest. But the food (breakfast, fika and dinner) were amazingly good and fantastic experience. The dishes so simple and cool , i had to buy myself a mug 😉 The interior of the entire hotel is looking also amazing, making the experience wholesome. I would definitely like to come back here, whenever I will have an occasion.

Just spent 3 nights as a family here. Wonderful hotel would highly recommend! Very comfy beds, soft pillows and very friendly helpful staff. So quiet in rooms too! Breakfast and dinner all included as well as afternoon cake and tea/ coffee. Food was delicious and fresh. Good selection at breakfast and a proper home cooked meal( set menu - buffet style )in the evening with delicious soup and bread and variety of salads. Great location- 3 min walk to trams that take you everywhere you need to go ( centre, trains, ferries) and run every few minutes! Love the castle feel as you enter. Would definitely return. Many thanks for a wonderful stay

Stayed here for 2 nights in Feb 26. Fantastic hotel in Helsinki centre with great rooms and a superb meal plan (breakfast, fika & dinner). Highly recommended

The room they gave me fulfilled all my wishes. I asked for a room in a quiet location with a hot tub and got exactly what I hoped for. The hotel itself is super nice filled with history and interesting details. The breakfast very super tasty. The selection wasn't the biggest but it had all that one can hope for, I didn't miss anything. Very pleasant surprise that the afternoon coffee and dinner are included in the price! I used the hotel gym couple of times and also the sauna was great (not included, need to pay 18e). Location right at the heart of Helsinki is super. Service, cleanliness, all fantastic. Thank you so much!

We came here for dinner only. The dinner is for hotel guests, yet they also offer this very nice dinner buffet to non-guests for 16 euros only. I highly recommend. The restaurant is located in the basement of the beautiful art nouveau building. Service is really very friendly and food is simple but tasty.

I didn't appreciate the location near a strip club although the location is otherwise good. Room was noisy in the evening for unknown reason. Dinner was good. Premium room had no slippers and the espresso machine didn't work. Shower wall transparent so whoever is in the bedroom can see the person in the shower, needs curtains. Service varied depending on the receptionist, some excellent. Gym was a disappointment, especially the running machine. Public toilets are unisex as in other Strawberry hotels, meaning they are unclean. Overall a good experience, mostly because of the dinner and central location, but needs a privacy curtain, slippers, normal running machine and single sex public toilets.

The hotel exceeded my expectations. It was spotlessly clean, quiet, and the food for breakfast and dinner was quite satisfactory. The staff was very polite with everything we needed. Vincent, at the front desk, in particular, was very kind and helpful. I highly recommend the hotel.

A very nice hotel marred by a couple things. First, the many key-card access doors standing between you and your room. I feel like I'm at the headquarter of CONTROL rather than a guesthouse. Second, internet access requires registration with a email address which expires after 24 hours. Quite annoying when you have multiple devices. As another reviewer points out, this is not a $$$$ hotel. Rates for my room range from 80€ to 90€. It's much more spacious compared to rooms at other hotels in the area in at the same price range. Full-size shower stall is especially nice.

Super trendy fun hotel, though it looks old looking/castle-like. Deep lovely bathtubs, excellent bar and breakfasts. Parking: The hotel had a parking garage. Service: The hotel staff were quite friendly. Food: We ate the breakfast offered at the hotel, which at the time was upstairs. The breakfast included: pancakes, breads, yogurts, dried fruit, lactose-free milk, coffee, juice, water, granola, fruits, oatmeal, hardboiled eggs, scrambled eggs (did not look good). The yogurts offered were of multiple variety. Atmosphere: Looks super old school from the outside with interesting architecture, but once in the room, it is super modern. The room was roomy. The bathroom included a bidet, and our bathroom had a lovely deep bathtub. My sister's room did not have a tub, but they had a rain shower style shower, which she and her husband loved. Cost: moderate to expensive. Location: Fantastic! This location was within 10-20 mins of walking distance of everything. We walked to museums, the market, and more. Fitness Room: This is a major downfall. There is no fitness room, and one can pay 5 euros to go to the gym around the corner, called Twenty Four Seven (so pretty good hours!) However, the front desk person told me that they only had one card, so only one guest could go at a time(??) The fitness place was pretty decent, though small.

My traveling partner Karina and I stayed here after we came back to Helsinki from Rovaniemi. It's a cute little hotel with a good breakfast that's included in your package. The rooms are nicely decorated and very modern. I really liked this hotel, as it reminded me of a castle. It's in downtown Helsinki and walking distance to a lot of things. Definitely a cute little hotel to check out. Happy travels my yelping amigos

Kind of a dump - and an expensive one at that! Good location in Helsinki, walking distance to restaurants but dingy and dark ambiance. Next time I'll stay at the Radisson Blu.

Found this hotel in Rick Steve's guide. Decided to pay a little bit more for a nicer place than some others I found. First off, it is not $$$$. I believe we paid only $130 Euros a night, albeit during early October which is off season. Upon arriving, the staff gave us a free upgrade to a larger room. We were staying 3 nights so they felt we needed more space. Um, Awesome?? They gave us GREAT recommendations for a local laundry place, and Sauna. The breakfast here is included, and pretty nice. The room was very nigh tech, had a Vegas style shower, and the lighting alone made the stay special, had numerous cool settings. Great location as well, just a couple blocks from the Esplanade. Simply put, some of the best service we had on our whole Europe trip.

Great hotel with great staff. The security of their internet could be better, and cable for the wired connection visible in the room could be offered in room. Also, the Internet tends to log you out after 24 hours and can be very frustrating to reconnect to. This can hamper work if you are working in your room. As stated elsewhere, this is extra annoying if you have multiple devices as you may not realise a phone has logged out. Many rooms lack fridges, which is a bit of a let down. The surrounding restaurants and night life are very good. The breakfast buffet is fantastic and the doggie bags a very welcome touch. Breakfast staff are uniformly lovely. However, the door policy for the buffet is a little too strict. Arriving down 8-10 minutes later to a locked door, with the sounds of people still eating inside is a little too strict if you have paid for breakfast and some provision should be made. Everything is in walking distance. The hotel bar is nice but encumbered by Finnish licensing laws that prevent it being open after 1:30. This also means no room service alcohol after this time. If staying in rooms 500+ it can be frustrating for a smoker as the walk down is annoying and involves keycards. They could use a fitness room. However, the hotel has some of the best, most helpful and friendliest service of any hotel I have stayed in Helsinki.

This remains one of my favorite places to lay my head. A stunning arts and crafts lobby hides that the hotel is actually a collection of several buildings. Every room I've stayed in has been top notch. The staff are a hotelier's dream come true, breakfast is astounding given the space they have to work with - and tops many bigger hotels in Helsinki. The lobby is a great place to warm up in the winter with a drink. Also, it's a solid value for a hotel in the middle of the city but and a relatively quiet street in the Design District. Pro tip: turn right when you walk out and walk down a couple of blocks for a great lunch at one of dozens of small eateries in the Old Market Hall.

Small, rooms, ridiculously small beds, little hospitality, and few communal places. Would never to stay again. It's no slum, but it is profoundly mediocre.

a really nice place to stay some nights in Helsinki, long distance to the airport, but direct acces to the city by foot. breakfest an room are great, the service too. a small lunch on the bar is available if you haven't got a open restaurant because of walking around in the city :-)

Very friendly people downstairs at the front desk. From my experience so far fins seem to be the lost friendly Nordic people. Anyways the hotel rooms are really modern and clean. The shower is very nice as well. I would recommend this place to anyone!

i'll be honest...we got suckered in by the "renovated castle" concept what lady doesn't want to live in a legitimate castle for a night?!? room//**** renovate indeed~ the rooms are super modern and space efficient reminds me of the small hotel rooms of tokyo *note* ironically, the one person room is larger than the two person room even though the bed size is the same average size flat screen w/ your typical amenities fun bonus: bed lifts up and down sorta like a massage chair oh and you can buy the stuffed toy for a RIDICULOUS €25! it's NOT that cute security//***** if you go through the front entrance....you need to swipe your room key at 3 separate locations before you get to your door....talk about super secure! breakfast//** if you pay for breakfast, it includes yogurt, breads, cheese, and a few salad items where are the poached eggs, bacon, and other "continental breakfast items"? a la carte- you must PAY additional for each item (WAIT!! i thought i already PAID for breakfast?!) guess not...pas de petit déjeuner pour vous the breakfast area in the basement is the only part that resembles any sort of castle aside from the exterior location//*** located in the design district, SO if that's your thing then you'd be delighted! helsinki is a very walkable, and the location is close enough to the city center ~*~ honestly, in some ways it was good that it the rooms were modern...but in some ways i think their selling point is lost as well...i'm so torn! but a lovely experience nonetheless ps. stop by the old library nook to the left of the entrance for a feeling of old world athenaeum!^^

I stayed here recently for a stopover for one night from Ireland. I had been to Helsinki before and it was simple and modern, just the way I like it. It was a bit away from the train station, but the cab ride was approx 11 euro and well worth the price considering I had a 23kg suitcase to lug around. I booked a smart room which is a small room similar to the size of my apartment in San Francisco, but I liked how the bed was motorized and I could adjust it while watching television. The only drawback was that my room was in the adjoining building and was quite a walk to the room. But it was cool walking thru the hotel with all of the automatic doors with keycard entry. Unfortunately the restaurant was booked for an event for dinner so I had to eat a burger in the bar. The burger was good and the service was excellent. I think the staff was very helpful and informative. I would highly recommend if you want to stay in a quiet and clean hotel with a very modern feel.

Very friendly staff in a cool hotel in a great location- all the ingredients for a nice stay! The building is very unique & the rooms were clean & new. We upgraded to a King suite with a large pull out sofa bed. The staff set up the bed for us which was a nice extra. The included breakfast was one of the best we've enjoyed.

This was an amazing hotel and the breakfast was the best I've ever had. The hotel service was also great and let us check in a bit earlier. Very happy of our stay and will be back for sure!

The rooms were TINY, but very well decorated and comfortable. You can barely turn around in the bathroom, but it was also very well appointed and offered nice bath products. The breakfast was great. Good location near the city center.
