They forget to send me entrance information etc. unfortunately I was not able to enter building at midnight when i came for check in. I found another guest which is who open me door.

The doors to rooms could be better soundproofed. As now the soundproof is almost zero. Would give much more privacy to change the doors to thicker ones. Including also the toilet doors.

Atmosphere, cleanliness, staff, location, value for money.

I think if you are extrovert, want to meet a lot of people on your stays in Helsinki, it is not your place.

Squeeky bunk beds

Very quiet (at least when we visited) and clean place. On the island of Suomenlinna, just a 13 minutes ride from Helsinki city centre. Good facilities, a really comfortable place to go back to after a long day walking. Communal spaces also fun and well looked after. Really recommended

I think the doors could have had better sound insulation. It was not problem as other visitors were quite but I could still hear the early-birds talking quietly in the kitchen. It can be problem if somebody is loud. Nevertheless the walls itself were solid and soundproof and I couldn´t hear people from other rooms. The showers could have had some curtain. I hung my clothes to the hangers but they got a little water from showering. But I definitely would go back.

Very atmospheric place to stay. Quiet surroundings, yet quite near to the center with a 15-minute ride with a small ferry. The ferry goes every 20 minutes during daytime, less often in weekends and during evenings but still every hour. The place has high ceilings and built with quality materials. Visitors can use kitchen with fridge, kettle, tea and coffee.

Well, it's a hostel anyway and you never know who your neighbours will be. Unfortunately, I was a bit unlucky and there was a person who snored very loud during the whole night. I think that person was the only one who was sleeping in our room😅 So for future travelers, I strongly recommend taking ear plugs and a sleeping mask (or the hostel maybe could provide that in the future). The hostel maybe could also consider installing bigger refrigerators in the future because I barely had any space to store my food. Otherwise, everything was good. Thank you:)

The best thing about this hostel is it's location on Suomenlinna. If you want to take an amazing evening ferry to see the sunset over Helsinki and then take a morning walk and look at the endless sea horizon, then I strongly recommend to stay overnight in this hostel. The hostel has quite big common space where you can eat your food or just relax after a long day with some coffee or tea (for free).

Nothing really, but the choice of restaurants is limited and expensive. Good local supermarket for all your cooking and drinking needs.

Great location on an interesting island. Loved the place!

A perfect hostel experience. Interesting building and location. Clean room, easy check in.

It was really thick air when we entered the room, would have been nice to open the window for a bit before the arrival. The common room upstairs was a little noisy even though people weren't particularly loud. Wouldn't recommend for people with light sleep to stay on the 2nd floor but rather request a room on the ground floor.

There was the option to book breakfast in advance for the stay for an extra 8€ / person which was a fair price. There was basic rye bread and toast, some cold cut meats and cheese, jam, Nutella and peanut butter to put on top. Joghurt with some mysli, porridge (even tho it was a ready made porridge bag you'd have to add water and mix it) and some cold 'juice soups' and some fruits. It was located conveniently next to the boat pier where the boats left to center every 15 to 20 mins depending on the time of the day. A small convenient store was also right next to it. Keep in mind that ther bathroom is shared but it's greatly solved by having a door to lock when using the shower / toilet so there was no issue at all. It's an old building so expect to hear some noises from people just doing unnoisy stuff (moving around kitchen to prepare food e.g.) And of course the island is just absolutely lovely in the summer in the nice sunny weather! And still easy to reach the main land whenever :)

Room Doors are self-locking, so you have tonbe cautious when going to the bathroom and take the key with you

Great place to stay if you want to overnight in the island

Nothing in particular that we didn’t like

Perfectly located in the historic island which has jaw dropping views. Staff were extremely nice. Hostel bed were comfortable. The hostel were used for kids camping during special events. It’s a very good hostel who supports Children recreational organisation.

Very low upper bank, so impossible to seat on lower bed. Checkout at 10 is hardcore.

Generally everything is good. Nice location, nice personal, cozy place

simple, but very friendly and clean hostel situated on a pretty island just outside of Helsinki - with a regular ferry link to center town.

The room is very small. And there's no curtain. Very bright. Restaurant closed early. We didn't have dinner that night.

The staff is very helpful. We arrived early but she allowed us to keep our luggage in the office.

Great atmosphere, everything that I needed for a sleepover. Nice to have tea available all the time in a common room. Bathrooms very clean and colorful:) But the island location by the ferry is the best.

Thank you for a wonderful stay and for nice service to accommodate our group!

It's pretty easy getting to the island and back (24 hr ticket = 9 euros) as they go frequently. The late check-in could be an issue for some if you arrive early, but you can still leave your bags in the hostel and explore the island fortress before you get your bed. The two women who worked the reception during my stay was super helpful, cool and energetic in their own unique way! The common room is kind of like a dining hall but still very open and inviting. Also, just outside the hostel you can hang out by the water, watch the sunset while having some beers if you'd like, so beautiful!
