Hostel Erottajanpuisto is located on Uudenmankatu street, which is very close to the central train station, and just past the Stockman department store. It's remarkably cosy place, which is unusual for an HI affiliated hostel.
The dorms have six or eight beds each, and they're comfortable and large. Unlike the dorms, the showers are a little cramped. The showers are small enclosures that can be barely squeezed into, but they are at least functional and usually clean.
The common room is very comfortable and sociable, with large tables, nice couches, and an internet terminal. There are also quite a few cooking utensils and a range, microwave, and two fridges.
The staff is quite friendly and helpful. It isn't a party hostel, but it is a social hostel, and it's a good place to meet travellers. For a price which is average by Helsinki standards, and a convenient location and good vibe, this hostel is highly recommended.
