Inn Tourist Hostel

Inn Tourist Hostel occupies the 9th floor of the same tower at Haapanieminkatu 7-9B in Sörnäinen, two floors below Sky Hostel. The two hostels share the building but run independently, and Inn Tourist's pricing reflects the more complete service: a 24-hour front desk, an airport shuttle for 18 EUR a head (book at booking), included slippers and towels, and a full hostel-in-the-classic-sense feel rather than self-check-in budget.

Rooms split between dorms (4-bed, 6-bed mixed and female-only), private twins, doubles with shared bathroom, and family rooms sleeping 4 with kitchenette. The 9th-floor sea view runs across the south-facing private rooms toward Kruunuhaka and the harbour. North-facing rooms see the rail yard. Every room has a fridge, microwave, kettle and coffee machine — useful if you'd rather not haul down to the shared kitchen for breakfast.

Common space is the kitchen-and-dining lounge: induction hobs, a 12-seat dining table, board games stacked on a side shelf, and a vending machine for soft drinks. There's no bar (Sky doesn't have one either; the building is dry above ground floor) and no organized social programme — but the staff run a free walking tour to the Helsinki Cathedral, Senate Square, and Kauppatori on Thursdays at 11:00.

Airport access is the practical USP: the hostel runs a private shuttle that's 18 EUR door-to-door, faster and cheaper for two travelers than Uber, slower than the I-train but with luggage handled. Useful for early-morning flights or late-night arrivals when the public bus 615 stops running.
