CheapSleep Hostel Helsinki’s rooms have either a private bathroom or shared facilities. Some include a desk and a seating area. Bed linens and free lockers are provided. The staff were polite helpful and friendly. I got detailed instructions to get to a location. Lockers available for each guest. The mattress was comfortable and the sheets were cotton. The kitchen was well equipped. Plenty of public space for guests to hang out. Overall cleanliness. If the kitchen was sometimes messy, that's the guests doing. It is located right by the traditional wooden houses and you could walk or take a short bus ride to the downtown harbour area. Luggage storage available. Basically it was well organised and managed.
