| The Hostel is indeed very good...the rooms very clean, spacious and well equiped and the staff very friendly and helpfull...simply loved the sauna and swimming pool!
It is a little bit expensive...but it was worth the money | ||

| Very surprise to have Sanua service in a hostel. | ||

| Very formal rooms in building A. Hard to feel comfortable there. Kitchenette was not well cleaned. To get the pans and pots in another building isn't the best solution. | ||
| 25 Aug 2011 Ernst, Sweden | 87% | |
| Why do I have to fill in a paper by checkin in? You've got all information about me through my onlinebooking and my paying with credit card! If yuo scip that procedure the checkin would go much faster! | ||

| It's actually a student village where they've put additional beds into the rooms. It's all pretty new and tidy.
Unfortunately, the hostel is a bit off the city centre so walking takes a couple of minutes. Get a 24h pass for the public transport (about 7€) to get around. There is a tram stop just around the corner.
For the rest, there is nothing to criticize whatsoever. | ||

| We were very glad to live in Hostels Academica. At the same time, we asked beforehand (as participants of IUPAC symposium at Faculty of Chemistry of Helsinki University) one triple room but we received one double room and one place in a triple room, where other women were changed every night. | ||

| WE REMAIN VERY PLEASED WITH THE HOSTEL, AND MORE THAN ANYTHING THE STAFF IS VERY GENTLE AND WATCH FOR THE NEEDS OF EACH CLIENT.
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING AND GREETINGS. | ||

| Only one of the dryers was good. The other two simply need to be replaced. Meals were good. | ||

| It was not nice that the prices for the same room change. If we wanted to stay longer, we were told that for the next days we had to pay 79€, wich was more expensive than the night before (72€). Otherwise is everything in the hostel right and comfortable. | ||
