Hostels in Scandinavia

Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good hostel in Helsinki? Something
central, around 100 markka a night?
Also, do hostels in Finland, Sweden and Norway provide
sheets, or do I need to bring one with me?
Thanks

   Terve
   Welcome to Finland
   Hostels in Finland normally charge extra for sheets (in
   helsinki anyway). You will get a 15 FIM discount on
   accomodation if you are a member of any international youth
   hostels association.
   As for anything less that 100 FIM, it may be difficult to
   find this in Helsinki.....the hostel in Vantaa is possibly
   the cheapest in the area...but understandably a bit out of
   town. Hostel Academica and the Olympic Stadium hostel are
   mnore expensive and I think Eurohostel is even more so
   (don't quote me on this as I am from Finland so have not
   stayed in these hostels personally). I know hostels out of
   Helsinki are generally cheaper...in cities like Turku etc
   but as for less than 100FIM a night in spring/summer in
   Helsinki unfortunately I thin you may be out of luck.
   Enjoy Finland.

   The hostel I stayed at in Sweden (on board the boat)
   provided sheets at a price, but I find taking a sheet
   sleeping bag is little trouble and more economical!
