The price is right. The staff are generally friendly and helpful. There's a direct airport transfer bus that has a stop right near the hostel plus other bus stops/tram stops close by.

Incredibly humid everywhere in the building to the point where it was unbearable. The rooms are generally dirty with dust just swept under the beds instead of being cleaned up, and smell musty because there's no ventilation. The rooms are small for the standard 18-bed set up. Every common room is crowded-even the kitchen at 2am has people milling around.

Staff was very friendly, location excellent, nightly activities and social atmosphere, comfortable bed.

If you book a double private room, ask to be placed far down the hallway away from reception Rooms 210, 211, 212, 213, 214 are LOUD. There's no soundproofing and the hallway echoes so all the noise from reception and the, bathrooms amplifies into the room and the doors slam quite loudly.

Excellent location. Close to trams and buses and has an Alepo (supermarket) on location that is most definitely a lifesaver. You will want for nothing. Moreover, I travelled for conference and needed help with printing and documentation, this was easy and well attended to at minimal cost. The people are respectful, helpful and pretty much give the kindest service. You will definitely not have to worry about English speaking people. They are everywhere and you can get along just fine speaking no Finnish. I did enjoy learning the names of Finnish places though.

The kitchen was small. They have three refrigerators and they were jammed because everyone enjoyed preparing their own meals. A larger kitchen would be ideal.

If you even buy breakfast in Alepa, coffee is free! If you want to go to shower, the best time to do it is not too late in the evening or in late morning, because the mornings are busy and in evenings the shower area is real fload! I like the system in fridges, where you mark your food as yours, the lockers and comfy bed! Also, there is a privat "corner" to hide with your phone! If you're studnent and living temporary as I did, I suggest to go studying to library, because the place is lively and i didn't see the plugs for my laptop there. I also like that in reception hall the music changes depending of day/night time, whish makes it comfy and pleasant in any time of the day!

Floady showers, dirty toilets in evenings and that some roommates did not care for their hygiene :/

Hostel is quite big, there's a lot of common spaces that I didn't had time to use so I can't say much. It's a little outside of the city center but there's tram going very often. You get a card to open the door and use locker. The room was clean (toilets not so much but that's because of people I guess). In female dorm every bunk bed is placed separately which gives some privacy for guests. And I really like that in the bathroom also every toilet is placed separately with sink and showers had lot of shelves to keep your stuff behind the curtain while taking a shower.

Staff gave me card for wrong locker but it was fine since there was no one to use it anyways.

As the name says, it is a cheap sleep, but it is a great one. Of course, there are different levels of comfort. I stayed in a shared room with four beds, and it was perfect; I also moved to a two-bed bedroom, which worked perfectly. Closets that unlock with your door card are included. The staff was super helpful, and there was a 24-hour reception so you could arrive whenever it suits you.

There are many people sleeping in, so the level of cleanliness deteriorates quickly. They do their best to keep it tidy, but having shared toilets and showers will always be difficult, especially when the night is cheap.

I had an amazing experience staying at CheapSleep Hostel! From check-in to check-out, everything was smooth and enjoyable. The hostel is incredibly well-equipped with spacious dining halls, plenty of games to keep you entertained, and spotlessly clean bathrooms – a big plus for any traveler. A special shoutout to Abhi at reception! He made my arrival so welcoming and memorable. As someone new to Helsinki, I truly appreciated his helpful recommendations for exploring the city and discovering the best things to do. His local tips made my trip even better. Overall, CheapSleep is a fantastic choice for anyone visiting Helsinki. It’s not just a place to stay, but a place to enjoy and connect with others. Highly recommended!

I think I liked the location of my bunk. It was enclosed within 4 walls, very private, quiet and I didnt feel like i was in an 18 bed dorm.

The showers on the second floor had very little to zero privacy. There were only curtains with anything to secure them in place. I had to use the showers on the 4th floor for bath. It was inconvenient.

Common area to chill. Large room with a long table for us to eat. Well equipped kitchen (which can be crowded sometimes). Fridges and utensils for cooking. 5 showers and 5 toilets (for women). Soap, paper towl and hot water. The cleaning staff is working well, we often see them. Luggage room. Map of the city, timetables for public transport. Huge hostel on different floors. Lift or stairs (you can choose). One locker per person. Badge to access the hostel and the rooms. Shelf with books.

This hostel is located very far to the city centre ! (There is a tram stop not very far away though). No tourist attractions nearby. Quiet neighborhood. I got bitten the first two nights by a red insect that I found in my bed...my arm has doubled in size and the staff did not really do something to make me feeling better (except changing the bed sheets...), I scratched myself for an entire week ! No commercial gesture... even if I was staying there for seven nights ! No oil and no salt and pepper in the kitchen. The floor in the dormitory is not very clean. The tables at the bar are not very clean. Dormitories are a bit tight when two people are sleeping in the same bunk bed.

The stuff was wonderful. They were always so nice and helpful. The facilities were good. A lot of space to spend time with other guests or stay alone and work, whatever you want. There is a very well furnished kitchen. Also there is a bar and different activities. Lockers in the rooms are free and are opening and closing with a room key.

Showers are not very comfortable. Slippers are only for sale, and towels for rent (although it's not written that they are included, the pictures make sense that they are). The beds are not the best I have seen in hostels. The pillows are very small and not comfortable. Lockers are small and there is no enough space for clothes and other stuff.
