Upon arrival, we were allowed to leave our luggage until it was time for check-in. Check-in and check-out is totally done solely using a tablet. We got a studio apartment and it was huge, with two arm chairs, a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, fridge, freezer, cooker. The biggest surprise though: two huge wardrobes. The bathroom was impressive too, with beautiful tile and a superb shower. The place was impeccably clean. You can rent a hair dryer from a common service facility, using the keycard. The building had a sauna, even though we didn't use it. There were also games and movie room and a common kitchen downstairs. Cleaning is done every two days, so since we stayed for only two nights, the room wasn't cleaned (it was needed any way). The location is about 20 minutes from the main train station, but we didn't mind that. Had a couple of good night's sleep as the beds were comfy.

Really being picky here, no end tables near bed.

The location is perfect. It is just minutes walk from the nearest tram station No.4 and also easy to walk to the center of the town within 20 minutes. There is some supermarket in 3 minutes which is 24 hours open. The room is all equipped including kitchen tools such as a cutting board , knives, a pan,pots. The accomodation has free bike rental service. It was really nice though bikes are too big for me. There is a city bike rental spot within 7 minutes walk, which was very convenient for us. You can rent a bike in 10 Euros for 7 days, Visit HSL sigt!

Rental bike was too big for me. I wish I had smaller size! Also self laundry system doesn't work well. Some people don't respect schedule.

Well-equipped facilities

Luggage storage is not available 24/7

Great location, right by the city center but still quaint and calm. Tram stop and a grocery store within walking distance. Also the ferry terminal is right around the corner so all in all very well positioned. The studio itself was well equipped, all cooking utensils looked brand new, there was even a drip coffee maker. A fridge, freezer, cooktop, microwave and even a full size oven. Nice decor, everything was highly functional and easy to use. Surprisingly spacious wardrobe and plenty of other storage spaces. Beds were great too, firm but comfortable.

It was quite cold in the room. The thermostat would only go up to 20 degrees and the ventilation could not be turned off so there was a constant flow of chilly air in the room.

Most of the guests here are professionals or students, great for meeting new people and networking. There are also families but not as many. It has a common kitchen and laundry facilites for guests to use. It says parking facility is not available on site but there is actually one at Eur 25 per day (cheaper rate for more days). I guess its a first come first serve basis due to limited lots. K-Supermarket is just a few minutes walk away. The accommodation is also within walking distance to the market square. From there, its pretty easy to stroll to the big shopping centres. On our last day, Patrik has very kindly assisted to book a big taxi for our 5paxs family with 3 big luggage. We left at about 8.45pm to the central train station and it cost us slightly less than EU30 as it goes by meter. Very good price as compared to the online transfer booking which could cost >50 euro onwards for such a big car.

There was no hairdryer provided in the room. They have a service centre at every level where you can borrow but there were only 4 available per level when there are like prob >20 rooms in 1 level. We didnt manage to get hold of one throughout our 3 nights stay.

Convenient location, especially if you’re travelling on the Viking ferries. Downtown is just a short ten minute walk. (The Katajanokka neighborhood is itself worth exploring. Gorgeous architecture!) My room was small but efficiently layed out — not as fully equipped as Noli's original hotel next door. Loved the communal kitchen off the lobby and appreciate access to the local gym. Two handy supermarkets and Alko liquor store nearby. Overall, the property has a cool youthful vibe.

My room faced an alley with noisy unloading trucks during the night. TVs are only available for an extra fee. Would be nice to have Netflix. Hairdryers and irons were not available.

The location is perfect. We were renting a car only for the Lapland and everything was reachable on foot or by public transport. The tram station is right next to Noli, so you can just hop in and be at the railway station in 5 mins. The rooms were clean and quiet. The staff was reachable. Overall, a good value for money, if we'd return to Helsinki, we'd sure rebook. Perfect for Tallinn trips as well since the Viking Line terminal is 5 mins away.

The bed could be bigger, it's a bit small for two people. Smoking isn't allowed on the terrace as well, amd the terrace is shared. I dislike cleaning fees if you don't allow cleaning. This is great for students, but not for people who would like to chill in their own home for a couple of days and wake up whenever. I thought this was a studio flat rather than a hostel-like situation, especially judging by the price. I also prefer self-check ins, but the check info was really thorough. Sauna, hair dryer etc. were a common good, which was differently advertised. The bathroom is instantly flooded when you take a shower.

Bastu, location, top observation deck, amenities, housekeeping services. It's still new so the building is in good condition.

Check-in system, lack of interaction with people, spent a lot of our time having to work things out and finding someone to answer questions. Very impersonal self check in system. The breakfast package we bought was the same everyday, so luckily we only stayed 3 days, even then too much of the same meal. Bikes are first come first serve, should be clearer when booking a room so don't depend on them, but great if you're lucky to get them.

Great location, easy check-in process, the entire building is so nice, quiet, clean, modern. Room size are huge. Well-stocked amenities. These rooms are studios, so there's a kitchenette, but there's also a communal kitchen for proper cooking. Other common areas are also very nice. There are plenty of rooftop views of the city and out to the sea. I used the sauna which I also enjoyed.

Nothing really to complain. You have to use your access card to go through almost every door which I find troublesome, and some amenities such as hair-dryers and ironing boards are available in communal lockers instead of inside the room. Finally, because check-in process is self-help, you could be there for the entire stay without interacting with any staff members, which I find lacking in hospitality. The place often feels more like a very luxurious dormitory facility rather than a hotel.

The apartment and the facilities were really clean. Instructions on check in and pre-arrival were clear. The apartment was well equipped, the bed was comfortable and the shower was spacious with good water pressure. There were two well stocked and reasonably priced supermarkets nearby we saved quite a bit of money by cooking in the apartment.

The building was a little further out of the centre than we realised. The roads were also noisier than we expected, so we could not sleep with the window open. There was aircon though. We felt there was not enough pillows on the bed, we had one each and it was quite squishy. We would have liked a bedside table on both sides rather than just one, as it was awkward for myself putting my phone, drink etc on the floor.
