Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The hotel is perfectly located, in the city centre.
Room size is very small, facilities and room itself was very clean.
As message via Agoda said wait until 4pm, then the entry code will be sent to the email.
4 past, nothing arrived.
Called to customer service.They told me that the identification request was sent to me by email, but unfortunately it wasn't, so I didn't done it.
I did tried a few times, staying on the phone., around 10 mins. The picture was: too clear, too blur, too dark, too bright,...A nightmare. I was very tired after a journey, - 20 cold. Just wanted a hot shower and a rest. And I couldn't get in because of ridiculous " identification"!!! I travelled through 54 countries , never experienced like that.
A big minus as well: as my phone network was on roaming, I spent more money for this phone call than the room cost.
Thanks for the guy on the phone for his patience.

I thought wifi wasn't working and went to mcdonald's across the street with my laptop. Eventually I was told to open the hostel's official site, and indeed it helped (I even checked when I was still at the mcdonald's and managed to connect from there). During my stay this happened several times but now I knew what to do.
I was alone in a basic double room, this was fine for me. Way too small for two people, especially if you want to use a laptop.

TLDR: Great location, great value for you (own) money, but thanks to poor insulation, your experince depends on people staying at the same floor

I booked this hostel for myself for two nights. As I traveled alone, I wanted to spend as little money as possible, so I booked the smallest room. It was tiny, but worked well and I got what I thought I would. Behind my pillows/wall was a shared kitchen and I didn’t really enjoy the sound of the tap/waterpipe, but luckily people seemed to appreciate the silent time.

Toilets and showers were ok (would have loved to have a bench/box at the shower room to get your stuff stay dry). I think this is a good choice for people who are not really into hostels, but need a place to stay/sleep. The place is clean and safe and the location is excellent.

Next time I’m visiting Jyväskylä by myself, I’m going to stay there, again, but book a bit bigger room to get rid of water pipe sounds.

After 24h travelling . I reached the apartment at 23h . The key should have been provided by automatic box but it didn’t work . It took an hour to contact and reallocate to another apartment.
The worst is that the company knew the issue but they didn’t sort it , just wait for any guess to call and complain . Several guesses had the same problem
Bad service

I study at university of Jyväskylä. Always while here, I stay affordable at hostel Forenom. Clean rooms, location at City Center. Only 39€ / night. I recommend. Only minus os small rooms but for 1 person, all I need is here. Tv and bed in the room. Shower, sauna, jacuzzi, toilets are in the corridor.

I had the smallest room available but it is built so it doesn't feel all that small. You can use the kitchen and the room has some cutlery, plates and a small fridge! The rooms could be more sound-proofed but I think that also depends on where your room is located. The sauna is great!

The breakfast left a bit to hope for but I have heard they have improved it based on feedback :)
