Arkadia Hotel & Hostel

The check in was done fast, and they help us to get a taxi when we were going to the airport.

Images of the rooms that are shown in their website are not matching with the real ones. I booked with my partner a double room with shared bathroom, and they gave us a room under construction. Everything was very dirty, toilets and bathrooms were in a deplorable state. Pictures are attached. If I would have known the real state of the hotel I would never booked it. Money doesn't hurt that much, what hurts my is that they are lying in their site.

We came in late around 10 pm knowing that the check-in is until midnight to find out that the hotel is overbooked. Our stay was pWe had to wait for almost 40 minutes until they had the room cleaned. The staff were really unfriendly and at one point suggested we should find a different hotel to stay for the night at.

Well, there was a woman who seemed to actually lives in the dorm....the room was full of her belongings like food, drinks and cooking equipment, cloths and shoes were everywhere in that room....there were 4 or 6 lockers with keys but lockers were all taken by her.... I am glad I only stayed there 12 hours...and there was another woman in the next room....she came on my taxi driver.... wow!

The breakfast was good: good selection of food, fresh and filling. Good value for money. The location is good, too. Only half an hour of bus ride from the center. Very close to the Helsinki Malmi airport, if it matters.

I haven't seen the hotel part and maybe it's different, but the hostel was horrendous. Decaying walls with unfinished repairs, filthy public facilities. I loathed them so much I decided to drop the shower — I could only get dirtier there. The lady at the reception offered a private bathroom for 19e, which I appreciate, but I would better encourage her to go around the place with thorough cleaning. The place is noisy: lot's of noisy neighbours that don't give a damn for keeping quiet. I had the worst sleep possible.

Hotel is nice. Staff is very friendly and helped to solve problems.

This place has two types of rooms - hotel and hostel. Hotel is quite nice but overpriced. Hostel is terrible. Dirty bathrooms, small pillows, inconvenient beds. They don't give you money back if you want to leave it before the end of your booked stay. Place is about 50-60 minutes by bus from the center. If you have choice, don't stay in this hostel.
