The property is located very near to Merihaka Bus Stop in the Kallio district. Bus 16 and 55 goes directly from the Helsinki Central Station. The property entrance was bit difficult to find as it is on 11th floor of an office tower. And there were so many doors and entrances with Keycode locks that we got confused. Moreover, the phone was not reachable. So we struggled a bit but finally could make out by ourselves only. One needs to climb the stairs to 1st floor and then get into a building (tower) by the name of Meritorni. The room is very small with a refrigerator, kettle 2 cups and 2 plates and some cutleries. The room looks a bit old but was clean and well organized. The view from the room is pretty amazing. You can see the whole of Helsinki from different sides of the hostel. The toilets are shared but very clean and tidy. Wifi was good. There is a K Supermarket, Pharmacy and a restaurant (Merihaka Ravintola) in vicinity for quick food. The best part we liked was the early checkin possibility from the staffs. The room was ready to be checked in at 7 am for us. That was very kind of them.

The address given in the booking and confimation email is almost impossible to find. No buildings have numbers and there are very few street names. The area is deserted on a Sunday evening. After a long and stressful search I finally found someone to advise me. The entrance is in a *different street* to that indicated by Google maps.

An uncomfortable stay. Unclean.

I did not feel comfortable here with the main issue being lack of cleanliness. The bathrooms and other shared areas including the kitchen did not look or feel clean. There was strong bad smells in the showers and toilets. It appeared to be an older building and the condition of the facilities was generally poor. It is in an unusual area away from main sites but the light rail stop is a fairly short walk (can be difficult with luggage in the snow). The entrance was somewhat difficult to find. As the accomodation is not staffed, there is also no where to leave bags after checking out in the morning which was difficult as I did not fly out until the evening. It is not very soundproof as I could hear others in nearby rooms late at night. I would not return and would advise staying elsewhere.

Decent stay.

Clean comfortable room. Shower, although shared, was excellent. Quiet. Decent bed. Downside, too many broken things. Blinds, handles on toilet doors, sinks. I opened what I thought was a wardrobe, it was a cupboard with a fridge, kettle and microwave. I wish that I had known that they were there, may have missed it somewhere.
