Forenom Hostel Vantaa Airport

near airport

Basic option near the airport.

This hotel is meant for short cheap stays when traveling and you need a roof over your head for a night. True finnish low cost experience.

It’s hard to rate a hostel that you see nobody, but it was clean and close to the airport

This was a typical hostel with simple single rooms with basic amenities. The sheets were crisp and clean and the duvet and blanket was very comfortable. It's a very short walk from the airport and you can take the luggage cart all the way there on pedestrian paths, which are everywhere. I couldn't get the water hot in shower but everything was very clean. It's a great place to day trip out of to downtown Helsinki by the train or the bike share- there are actually bike/walking trails all the way! I ran to downtown and it was about 18 km and there were no places I felt unsafe. I took the train back later at night and it was well lit and safe. There aren't common areas to hang out and the rooms are tiny so its not a place to hang out or meet people. The kitchen isn't really large enough to cook in but you could make due in a pinch. T

Clean and organized budget hostel! Many restrooms, showers and kitchens throughout different levels. In room microwave, coffee machine, electric hot water kettle, mini fridge, tv and cabinets for your stuff. Literally 15 mins of walking from / to Vantaa Airport terminal. Pedestrian walkway with directing signs. Timely communication with property access info from the host. Definitely will consider in the future. Thanks!

Only one issue. Room door lock was very stiff. I thought I was locked out. Location and basic service so close to airport is very good.

-Near to airport. -clean room.

I booked the room 2 hours before arriving, and I had not received code by text or email how to access Forenom. Had to call them and spent 15 minutes in middle of the night on how to send them passport picture and self portrait before I received access code. Nice and quiet apart from fire alarm @9 am,, easy 12 minutes walk from airport

tldr; not clean but acceptable if you don't care Full review: 3rd party bookers don't send all info so we had to call to get our room code. "Only a 15 minute walk from the airport" but the way to go is not clear &miserable in the snow with luggage so you will most likely take a taxi. all the taxis have a 19€ minimum. Which made it the same cost as the holiday inn with free shuttle. Upon arrival there were 4 boxes with keypads but only 1 of them is functional and instructions not clear (use a #). This was stressful at 1am but resolved quickly. It's an old office building, but i don't mind- reduce and reuse. i was plenty warm in January. 2 twin beds so my husband &i had to sleep separately-whatever. My problem: the beds were disgusting. Logically, I know I've slept in much worse in college but ew. you make the bed yourself which just highlights all the gross stains. Brown mattress with what looked like a blood stain, dingy white/brown pillow and duvet. The linens looked cleaned at first but when i opened them up they were also stained and had hairs on them! No kidding there were small black curly hairs on my "clean" duvet cover. My husband couldn't care less so he had no problem, but i was about to call a cab (no refund policy) when he reminded me we had new linens in our luggage from a gift. In the night the bathroom was gross but i caught them just after cleaning in the morning. I survived. He was content. But was it worth saving 50$?
