The location was amazing, for those who don't know about it, it's the only hotel/hostel on this beautiful island. If you look for peace and a way to relax, I guess this should be the exact choice. I got to give credit to the guy at the reception with long blonde hair. Kind, helpful and respectful. There is a dining area where there is a TV, complimentary cookies, coffee etc. I took more than one guide book because they had several languages. I also took a few cookies. they were great. that's my confession, I hope they don't mind ;]

That was one of the best hostels I have stayed in my whole life (Thanks God), I really appreciate the comfort I felt there, I truly appreciate the receptionist when I checked-in and I really liked the cleaning service (the amazing clean bathrooms) it was really clean and organized daily, really loved the complementary and gifts. (Coffee, biscuits and tea every day) and in the shower you can find shampoo, conditioner and body lotion from good quality I was in the room number one and my roommates were also quiet so if you want a place to stay near helsinki (just 15 minutes away, you need to take a mini ferry) and you are looking to find a quiet place with a beautiful view when you walk through the suomelinda fort, with mimi market just 2 minutes walking, this is a good place to stay

Very nice host. Spacious hostel located on the island. The kitchen is quite well equipped. A big common area. Free tea&coffee at all times. I definitely recommend!

It was an interesting and beautiful location, and easy to access. The facility is clean, quiet and comfortable.

It’s the only public option for spending the night at Helsinki’s brilliant sea fortress

Silence. Views. Convenience store around the corner.

Location in beautiful island. The free hot drinks.

I absolutely love everything about this place, its so peacful and well organized.

A very comfortable and a very friendly place. I recommend staying in this hostel if you want to explore Suomenlinna. It is accessible from Helsinki by a ferry which travels 2-3 times an hour and is a part of the city public transport system. There is a shop in close proximity to the hostel which was quite handy, as we visited the island in low season in October when restaurants were already closed. The hostel offers complimentary tea and coffee, there are microwave ovens and fridges at each floor in dining areas. Clean and cosy.

We loved it there. Extremely cosy and familiar feeling. It offers everything you might need for a good stay. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!
