Aalto Inn
4.1/521 Reviews
The Aalto Inn is great for a long-term stay but a nightmare for just a few days. It is NOT a hotel! There is no reception, no restaurant, no bar, no pool, no nothing! No shower soap or shampoo, no amenities. Nobody cleans it each day, and the towels and sheets you start with are the only ones you'll get! But the rooms are large and clean, with a decent kitchen with microwave, fridge, coffee pot, water cooker, utensils, pots, pans, and dishes. Good apartment, not a hotel. You MUST make sure that you get the emailed instructions before hand. These include a punch code to get in the front door and extract your room key from a weird device on the wall. Since I booked through a third-party website those did not arrive. I was literally standing outside in the snow, with no way to get in and nobody to call. Eventually another guest let me in and somehow we found a number to call, and I got into my room - after an hour! Another thing separating Aalto from a real hotel - you must clean up yourself, before you leave. Do the dishes and take out the trash - yes mommy.... But otherwise, pretty good! BTW, walk across the bridge to Min Sushi - wonderful!
The Yard Hostel
4.3/538 Reviews
On an upper floor of the building with the sign City Forum Hostel above its building entrance, it was an ok 3-night stay at this place in an 8-bed dorm room (with a nice addition of a small two-shelf piece in my bed) with also a spacious ”common room” (with long comfortable sofa chairs & also some nice-sized tables). So yes, with the place itself just an average one, the best part of the stay here I would say is its proximity to ”all the essentials”: for sightseeing with just about a 10-minute walk to the ”downtown waterfront” where to visit are the city's ”premier sites” (Helsinki Cathedral, Uspenski Cathedral, SkyWheel Helsinki & the tent-market) and yes where there's also the ferry dock to the Suomenlinna Sea Fortress; for shopping with just about a 5-minute walk to the two big shopping malls (Stockmann just across the main street and Forum to the left on the main street without crossing it); and for food with really quite a number of places to eat right around here (including the two McDonald's in & around the Forum Mall and the ”pretty nice” buffet restaurant called Luckiefun's for Chinese & Japanese food).
SweetDream Guesthouse

Although the hotel is not big, the rooms are quiet and there are Chinese staff who will come back again
Sky Hostel Helsinki
3.7/522 Reviews
I wouldn’t recommend this place purely based on the area. It felt pretty unsafe outside, and involved walking through underground car park areas where we saw groups of some quite intimidating people. The hostel itself is hard to find, keep an eye out for signage. And then you enter a building that looks very much like an office / tower block. The hostel is on the 11th floor. Secure access and once inside I felt my possessions were safe. Showers and toilets were clean but the room itself had dirty stained pillows, which needed replaced but the linen was clean. There were also a few hairs in the bed. For what we needed for 1 night it was sufficient but I’d choose somewhere else next time.
Senate Hotel
3.6/519 Reviews
Super nice hostel just in the city center. Rooms are very spacious and warm. They have a fridge and a sink in the rooms. Bathroom and showers are very clean. There is also a washing machine. The kitchen is well equipped and you will find complimentary cookies, coffee and tea! The tram stops just in front of the hotel entrance so it’s very easy to get there from central station. Everything is walking distance or you can just get the tram. The place is kept like a little gem. I strongly suggest it for your stay in Helsinki. Special mention to the sweetest ever receptionist that helped me with my early check in.
Hostel Suomenlinna
4.4/58 Reviews
We stayed for 4 nights on our trip to Helsinki and we could not have had a better experience. The hostel is cosy, quaint and right next to the ferry stop that takes you to the mainland. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We usually avoid breakfast buffets as we find them a bit hectic but the Hostel Suomenlinna breakfast was quiet and not stressful at all. There are cute graphics everywhere that have clear and specific instructions for hostel policies, which was helpful as both me and my partner have autism. The room was beautiful, the bed was comfortable and priced very reasonably. Recommended!
