I stayed in the hotel for a few nights and it was very comfy, I had a good rest there. Unfortunately, it's a bit out of the city centre, so it might not be for everyone. There is quite a good tram connection, though. The furniture is basic but really okay, including a TV. The lobby is nicely furnished and... More

I stayed here three times already and I can only recommend this hotel. The rooms are clean and simple furnished (two single-beds, desk, chair and television). The bathroom is not that big but if you know Etap hotel bathrooms it's big :-) The staff is friendly and helpful. For me this is the perfect choice if you want a good... More

When you go to AVA hotel in Helsinki don't expect anything fancy. It's quite basic hotel with small but quite clean rooms. The architecture and decoration in the hotel is simple and it looks a bit like an asylum inside. It doesn't have a 24h reception and if you check in during the night hours you have to contact the...

Nice place to stay. Perfect of a family; we had a small apartment with two double rooms (big windows, nice view, Flat-screen, desk, pretty quiet) and shared a small kitchen (microwave, water cooker, water basin, table, two chairs) and a small bathroom. Thanks to the kitchen we could easily prepare a small breakfast for ourselves (there's also breakfast buffet for... More

Stayed in the apartment with 2 rooms this summer, and which works out to be really cheap when split amongst 4 of us. The apartment had 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a mini-kitchenette. There was even a shared kitchen (complete with stove), laundry room and even a sauna (which unfortunately I didn't get to try). Nice and clean, and they... More

If a hostel with very basic rooms is what you are after the Ava is fine. Note though the rooms are mostly en-suite they do not provide soap.Breakfast is provided and there is a machine for coffee.
