Hostel Diana Park Hotel Shuttles

Just a block away from The Triangle (Trekanten), Hostel Diana Park offers tranquil plazas & park benches at arm’s reach as well as simple on-site amenities perfect for the simple at heart. Communal quarters include bunk beds and lockers, while private rooms add just enough space to sleep, work and relax. Many of the private rooms include personal sinks, although bathrooms are communal. A rustic wood-paneled lobby adds free breakfast in a connected kitchen as well as a lounge area complimented by a giant antique furnace. Transportation is also easy to come by with less than a block’s distance from the Kolmikulma Light Rail Station, or guests can catch a flight to Helsinki Airport with private vehicle options instead, either going with small sedans for the freedom to travel on your own schedule or commitment-free taxis for drop offs to busy neighborhoods.

Landmarks surrounding Hostel Diana Park are mostly art galleries, parks and waterfront shops. Start the day easy by sitting down at The Triangle, a great place to wait for light rail transfers or simply talk over nearby exhibits such as the Helsingin Palomuseo’s history in Finnish fire fighting and Päivälehti Museum’s old printer presses that tell the story of Finland’s media giant. For something more immersive, walk north toward Old Church Park, a much larger green space surrounded by eateries as well as the ever-looming majesty of the Vanha Kirkko (Old Church). And of course, the famous Esplanadi is another stretch of greenery that boasts an innovative design allowing for tranquil downtown exploration as well as drop offs to Galleria Esplanad, Savoy Theatre and the waterside vendors at Market Square (Kauppatori). Grab dinner somewhere close to the hostel at the end of the night as well, choosing between low-cost Mediterranean at Café Trocadero or late-night views of the street with Piece ‘n’ Love’s colorful pizzas.
