Which district in Helsinki is cheapest to stay in?

Districts ranked by median asking price

In Helsinki, Ruoholahti asks a median €134 a night, +65% against €81 in Katajanokka, the cheapest of 8 districts compared on the same 67 nights.

• A district is the area name Agoda gives a place (the first part of its address line), not an official boundary; names are printed as Agoda writes them, without a leading district number.
• A night counts for a district when at least 5 of its places showed a price.
• Every district is compared on the same 67 nights, the ones on which all of them counted: districts join in order of nights counted, and one that would leave fewer than 36 shared nights is left out rather than compared on other nights. A district's figure is the median of its nightly medians over those nights, and the middle half is the median of the nightly 25th and 75th percentiles.
• Places: every place in the district priced on those nights. Guest score: the median Agoda review score (out of 10) of those places, places scored in brackets. 4–5★: the share of the places with a star rating that hold 4 stars or more.

A dash means fewer than 5 of the district's places carry a score or a star rating. Many-star hotels cluster in a few districts, so a district's median also says which kind of places stand there.

Cheapest district with a guest score of 8 or more

The cheapest district in Helsinki whose places hold a median guest score of 8 or more is Katajanokka: a median €81 a night, score 8.8 across 15 scored places.

Guest scores are Agoda's review scores out of 10; a score says nothing about the price.

Friday and Saturday against Monday to Thursday, by district

The biggest weekend difference in Helsinki is in Ruoholahti: Friday and Saturday nights ask a median €152 against €124 Monday to Thursday (+22%), over 19 and 38 nights.

The town page's weekend rule, district by district, over the ranking's 67 shared nights: Sunday nights sit in neither group, and a district needs at least 3 nights on each side.

Apartments and B&Bs by district

Among the places Agoda lists as not a hotel in Helsinki, the cheapest district is Helsinki-Vantaa Airport at a median €104 a night and the priciest Helsinki City Center at €194, across 5 districts compared on the same 64 nights.

Apartments, B&Bs, holiday lets and private rooms: only the places Agoda itself lists as not a hotel, priced in the same search. Homes read from other sites carry no district name, so none of them is in this table.
