Forenom Hostel Vantaa Aviapolis

It is not recommended to stay in this accommodation, there is no management and no service. This homestay doesn't have a hair dryer, not even one fixed on the wall. The accommodation is a 30-minute walk from the airport. If you have any problems with your stay you can only call their customer service number, there is no management on site, but my mobile phone can't make calls, I bought a European calling card through the Internet, but it can't make calls, so all problems can't be solved. The check-in procedure of this accommodation has security risks. I received an email asking me to submit a photo of my passport page and other personal information. I couldn't tell whether this information was sent by the hotel or not, and I was worried about my personal safety. However, if I didn't submit my passport information, the email said that I wouldn't be sent the access code. I think the whole process is very irregular because I can't tell whether the other party is the hotel or someone else who has stolen my order information.

This time was better than what I had experienced.

Welcome to your build-your-own gulag experience ! This hostel was just a joke. I arrived at 11 pm , layover of 12 hours, so I was too cheap for the Hilton . I thought, well sounds good, hotel with your own bed, bathrooms shared ,how bad could it be. It was the typical grey and icy Finland experience everyone imagines .Well, I marched over to the hostel from the airport, at night with my google maps, so somehow I found it. I wouldn’t advise any females doing this at that time. It’s practically walking out of the arrival hall, past the finavia pilot building (right side) then straight ahead, left continue past the parking lot and the traffic light left again and after the bridge 200 meters right. The code they sent me reliably worked but the room was a joke. There is no reception, nobody to help in case something goes wrong. It didn’t, fortunately. Back to the room : Maybe 10m2. 1 coffee machine and a hot water kettle but not even 1 miserable pack of instant coffee for 85$? Not even the bed was made, you arrive and make it. Worse than a gulag. Same atmosphere by the way. Ice cold outside. The showers were dirty, the bathroom clean, I wouldn’t ever come back. I guess sleeping at the airport is still more fun than on this 80 cm x 180 cm bed. Not kidding. I liked the view onto trees and ice, something new for me, being 300 days a year at tropical beaches …
