Conveniently located and efficiently managed the rooms at Citybox are surprisingly large for European standards. Easy and quick self checkin / checkout, friendly staff should you need them, discounts in nearby restaurants as well as rentable umbrella for the wet weather days stood out for me during my stay.

I did not use the laundry but I used the kitchen for my evening meals. It is clean and comfortable I used to be at many hotels but Citybox is the best one (with my budjet). The location is very convenient with metro ,bus and too many supermarkets near by. Staffs are very friendly and helpful especially Nicholas (the gentleman) he helped me a lot.

Citybox is exactly as described--bare bones, clean, and comfortable. I did not use the laundry facilities or really engage with any staff except housekeeping, who kindly offered to help me with my bags when I was struggling to pull them all. The bed was comfortable, linens were clean, and the room was surprisingly spacious. My only real complaint was the water temperature didn't get quite hot enough for my liking, and I would have really appreciated if they had a sauna to match Finnish culture. It was about 15 minutes walking to the University of Helsinki campus and had a lot of grocery stores, cafes, and dining options nearby. Overall, this was a really great budget-friendly stay and kept me comfortable for 5 days.
