They would not return any communications about our canceled airline tickets that required us to move the dates of stay to next year. We are having to seek a travel insurance claim.

4/10 Fair

Disappointing from start to finish
Booked this hotel thinking it was a hotel. Is is a student living hostel. They give you a key which you have to turn in every time you leave the building and wait for when you get back. Got to my room: nothing in the bathroom, not even hand soap let alone the small toiletries you usually get. Had to go downstairs and argue with the receptionist to give me a hand soap. One small body towel, no floor or hand towel. Bathroom was not clean and wished I would have brought shower shoes. I chose a room with a kitchenette since I have some allergies that make it hard to eat out. One small pot and pan, both dirty and very worn. One plate, one bowl, 2 small glasses, one spoon, one knife, one fork, no cutting board, spatula or anything else to cook/mix with. All of those were extremely dirty with dried food visible on them. No dish towel or drying rack either. Oven was so dirty and greasy with food on it that I thought it would start a fire had I used it. Bed was a roll away bed with wheels viable and one small blanket and one hard pillow. I am a person who can sleep anywhere but this bed was hard! Very dirt and old mattress stuffed in one of the wardrobe cabinets, looked like it would have had bed bugs or worse. Super loud (not due to the construction) but from the loudest mini fridge I have ever heard with a constant high pitch squeal and the students living there who I heard screaming at all times of the night both nights (10pm, 1am, 3am, 5am) from when they woke me up.

Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Good Location, near to public transport. But the room has very basic aminities. No shampoo nor shower gel. Old small towel. Pillows were very small. We stayed one night only so we did not use the cooker.

Big building with lots of rooms. Rooms are equipped with only essentials thought. They do have fridge and cooker, but no shampoo/shower gel/in-room hair drier. Room was cold and wind was blowing from window right above the bed and we had to move the bed and use the curtains in order to mitigate as much as possible. Pillows very small. Only one towel per person available. Pipe in the bathroom was broken and there was water all over it when washing hands. Staff was friendly. There is luggage room available for after check-out. Seemed like a hostel rather then hotel. We stayed in Helsinki for one night only and were mostly out during the day, so the room was a good value. Location is good, near transportation and on walking distance from city center and some nice city tourist areas. However, I would not choose this property for a longer stay.

Great Experience on the budget
The staff of the hostel is absolutely amazing! I’m very pleased with my stay, I wish the rooms were a bit warmer and more renovated. It’s a very good deal for the price and it’s close to the city center.

Staff are very helpful. My luggage was lost during flight transfer. I stayed at BOTH for a week and they told me not to worry too much because by their experience, it would be shown up. Finally, it arrived 2 days later. Location is close to coach & train station. Major sights are within walking distance. Helsinki is an expensive city but staying at BOTH is value for money.
