Info
Summary of reviewsForenom Hostel Vantaa Aviapolis is strategically located close to Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, making it an excellent choice for travelers prioritizing convenience. Guests appreciate its easy accessibility, peaceful surroundings and proximity to the airport, ideal for those with early flights or layovers. Public transportation links and parking availability add to the hostel's practicality for airport travelers.

The rooms at Forenom Hostel Vantaa Aviapolis are well-equipped with essential amenities like a kettle, microwave, fridge, coffee maker and personal cutlery, catering to guests who prefer basic yet functional accommodations. The cleanliness of both rooms and bathrooms is frequently praised, providing a cozy and warm atmosphere. While the beds are generally comfortable, some signs of wear on the bedcovers and mixed feedback on pillow quality were noted.

Cleanliness within the private rooms continues to receive accolades, but the communal areas face criticism for being dirty and poorly maintained. Issues such as dirty dishes, bugs, bad smells and overflowing trash cans have been mentioned, suggesting the communal spaces require more consistent cleaning efforts.

The staff presence is limited with no on-site personnel to greet guests, leading to some confusion during check-in. However, remote assistance via phone is reported to be responsive and helpful. The hostel's reliance on facial recognition technology for check-in, although unique, has posed challenges for some guests.

In summary, Forenom Hostel Vantaa Aviapolis offers good value, especially for those needing a clean, comfortable place to stay near the airport. The convenience and cleanliness of the private rooms contrast with the less desirable state of communal areas and while staff assistance is effective over the phone, the absence of on-site staff could be an area for improvement.

Beds
Forenom Hostel Vantaa Aviapolis offers a mixed bag when it comes to the beds. Guests frequently highlight the comfort and coziness of the beds, often describing them as good or soft, providing a satisfactory night's sleep. However, there are also notable complaints about cleanliness with several mentions of unclean mattresses, dirty bedding with stains, hair and other unpleasant findings. Despite these issues, the overall room cleanliness and necessary furnishings are generally appreciated. The pillows, however, leave much to be desired, often being described as lumpy and uncomfortable. While some guests find the room design somewhat sterile, akin to a hospital, the hostel’s proximity to the airport and quiet, comfortable environment receive positive nods.

Many visitors have found the rooms to be clean, cozy and well-maintained with clean bedding and tidy bathrooms complementing a decent-sized fridge and microwave. Some guests have praised the top-notch cleanliness, particularly highlighting the good value for money compared to nearby hotels and have appreciated the comfy, cozy atmosphere.

However, feedback suggests there is a stark contrast in the state of communal areas. Kitchens have been described as dirty and unkempt with issues such as dirty dishes, bugs and bad smells. The cleanliness of audience areas has room for improvement with notable mentions of overflowing trash cans and scattered garbage. Furthermore, specific areas like bathrooms have received mixed feedback; while some were clean, others needed more thorough maintenance with clogged toilets and sand in the rooms contributing to a less pleasant experience.

In summary, while the private rooms often meet cleanliness expectations, the communal facilities and shared spaces might benefit from more consistent and rigorous cleaning efforts to enhance the overall guest experience.

Staff
Forenom Hostel Vantaa Aviapolis receives mixed reviews when it comes to staff presence. While some guests found the staff helpful and friendly, the overall absence of staff onsite was a common concern. Visitors noted that there was no one available to greet them, making initial access to the hostel confusing and somewhat frustrating, especially when they inadvertently arrived at the wrong building. The reliance on facial recognition for check-in without prior disclosure, added to the challenges. For guests needing assistance, such as those with limited mobility, the lack of physical staff presence meant struggling to navigate or contact a taxi. The only way to reach out to staff was via phone, though the service over the phone was reported to be attentive and responsive. Overall, while the remote assistance was effective, the lack of on-site staff raised issues for those who preferred direct interactions and immediate support.
