Hostels near Helsinki School of Economics?

[andyfloy]

Hello all, I'm a student recently moved to the north of Finland, and I need to be at an interview in about a week in the Helsinki School of Economics. I was wondering if anybody knows a decent hotel (not too expensive) or hostel of some sort, near the school? I'm a bit worried since I have less than a week to make the plans and all... ! anybody who knows, please do suggest something for me! Thanks...

There's a hostel at the Olympic Stadium. That's not too far.

I guess you mean Stadion Hostel:

There's a couple of hostel booking sites here:

And if you want something closer than any of these, an alternative might be Hotel Helka, about two blocks (5 mins walk) from the Business School.

It's a small non-chain place, relatively cheap.

Good luck with the interview!
