Great personnel, good value, room was clean and spacious, with kitchenette and small bathroom with WC. One of the best things was the location of the hostel-only 5 minutes walk and U were in the city center and the opposite direction will lead you to the beach!I hope I will return there next Summer! more

I stayed in the modern building for 7 nights and found the hostel to be just right. You get what you pay for here, nothing special, basic room, basic facilities...just a place to sleep and store your stuff! The room was very clean and towels were provided, we had a kitchenette but with no dishes or utencils, these can be... more

We've stayed here for 9 nights with 3 different rooms. I've booked a traditional one, but I found that there was a building looks much more "traditional" than the one I was staying in. I can access to internet with my own cable card in the rooms. So, I'm not sure which building I was staying in! Same as those... more

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights in a traditional styled room. The room is quite spacious with a small kitchen including fridge and oven hob. The shower didn't have a proper tray such that the water tended to cause some chaos although by the morning it all evaporated due to the heating system. The door lock isn't too easy... more

I stayed on the traditional side to save money, and it was fine! At the time I visited Helsinki, hotels in downtown were way above 100 euros so I really saved a lot! The traditional room is not shiny and updated, but it is roomy, clean, comfortable and has a kitchen, and I slept really well! I don't give 5... more

The hostel is well located - walking distance from all attractions and center of city and yet located in a quiet corner. Grocery store right across the street. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I stayed with a friend in a room with 2 beds and bathroom. Very airy, clean and sunny. Needless to say that the cost/benefit is... more

For $71 a night, I got a room in the Modern Building. It was a large room (though rather sparse) with a nice bathroom. It was clean and very quiet. i had a hard time using the phone, though, as I didn't have one in my room. The only one was at the lobby and nobody seemed to be able... more

Briefly: Our stay at Hostel Academica was an expensive and inconvenient experience, and for now on we will definitely stay at Scandic or Holiday Inn. And here's the story: We just spent a night at Hostel Academica. We've stayed there before (August 2006) and then we were very happy with a nice, clean room (called Renovated Modern room) and a... more

what can i say? My friend and I had a really good experience here. However, I understand that the private rooms and the dorm experiences are very different; i can only speak on the private rooms... of which we stayed in for 6 nights in late July. It is a fairly good location - walkable distance from town, and fairly... more
