I love the concept and the price, but would not go if I was a light sleeper. They provide earplugs but even with those I really had trouble getting to sleep as soundproofing is next to none and the bed is sooo hard.

Good stay overall. It is a bit noisy with street noise (workers at 6:30am on Sunday) but ear plugs are provided. Basic kitchen and room had own fridge. Sauna in basement is great if the schedule works for you. Self check-in was smooth with a unique door code that works for all doors. Great location not far from train station and on main shopping street with many food options and a grocery close by.

Not worth the price

Pros: - good Wi-Fi - easy to find - check in instructions are sent via sms Cons: - Shower drain in 2 showers were broke and water was flooded - Sauna is not every day - The rooms doors are very noisy when being closed , it will slap very hard if you don’t hold it and when that happen, you can feel beds are shaking/ vibrating - Uncomfortable hard bed / pillows can be renewed - very Late check in 16:00 and early check out 11:00 - not worth the amount I paid at all (~65€)

It would be good that the information would be easier to find in the homepage. For example about sauna times, there was no info about the in the homepage. The homepage information and the information at the spot was not the same. At the homepage, it said that it is okey that friends and family visit, at the hostel it said that it is forbidden that any people outside the booking use the facilities. It felt a bit confusing. In hotels.com it said that the room does not have sheets, but in their own homepage it stood that there are. And there were sheets. Very clean and fresh ones. Place was clean, but the mattress had some spots, also the wall. Could be even better cleaned I think.

Ilmeistä tai henkilökuntaa halppuutettu wessan siivous samassa kunnossa kuin ennen siivousta, siivooja ei jaksa kumartaa nikkeliputkea putsaamaan. Muuten hintaisekseen HYVÄ palvelu, pesukone, hyvä Sauna, yleis keittiö riittävä, vain jotkut ei ollu pessyt keittiö kalusteita. VOIN suositella

Huone ja yleiset tilat olivat siistit. Äänet kuuluvat toisista huoneista ja käytäviltä melko hyvin huoneeseen, mutta tätä oli mukavasti huomioitu jättämällä korvatulpat huoneeseen. Olen käynyt kohteessa useamminkin ja harmittaa, että viikonlopun saunavuorot ovat siten, että naisten saunavuoro loppuu aikaisin. Olisi mukava, jos naisten saunavuoro olisi välillä myöhemmin, jotta saunassa ehtisi käydä rauhassa kohteeseen saavuttuaan.

Suihkun säädin rikki. Astetta puhtaampi pitäisi olla. Sijainti vaikea löytää kävelykadulta. Ilmastointi liian suurella, kylmä.

Extempore miniloma

Kaikki toimi hyvin ja paikat pääosin siistissä kunnossa. Huoneessa ei toinen yövaloista toiminut ja kummankin mekanismi oli rikki, eli ei voinnut suunnata lamppua miten ois halunnut vaan lamppu "roikkui" jalassa. Hostelli oli ihanan rauhallinen, mutta ikkunan takana kirkui lokit koko yön ja unet jäi huonoksi, mikä ei toki ole hostellin väen syytä. Onneksi huoneessa oli tarjolla korvatulpat, mikä vähän helpotti tilannetta. Huoneesta ei löytynyt tietoa saunavuoroista, mikä olisi kiva lisä ko. kohteessa.

Hostelli painajainen

Saavuttuamme hostelliin, ulko- oven sähkölukko putosi irti ovesta ja alkoi huutaa. Huoneeseen päästyämme, sängyllä oli kuollut koiperhonen ja juoksenteli koppakuoriaisia. Jaettua suihku tilaa ei pysty lukitsemaan. Vaihdoimme majoitusta samana iltana green city hotelliin joka oli hyvä! Odottelemme edelleen hyvitystä forenomilta.

Ainoa syy miksi valitsin Forenomin on puhtaasti hinta. Itse huone olisi kaivannut enemmän siisteyttä hostellista puhumattakaan. Sauna ei ollut lämminnyt kuten piti olla. Kuulemma vahinko. Pyydettiin itse laittamaan päälle sähkökaapista. Uskomatonta.
