Sab

Very friendly staff, really comfortable lounge, and everything is clean. The beds are great and very well equipped (individual lights, power sockets, shelf for your things, curtains). Breakfast is simple, but good. You can also store your luggage in the hostel if you arrive early or leave later. If I go back to Helsinki, I'll probably choose The Yard Hostel again.

On two of the mornings there was very little provided for breakfast. Bread. Oranges. Milk. Were not available. There was no staff available to ask for some. Eventually a staff member showed up with very little interest.

“Fair but expensive hostel”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 3 nights
The doors of the rooms are incredibly noisy, it is impossible to close them without making a strong CLIC. So every person that comes back late is almost obliged to wake the ones that are already sleeping. The superimposed beds are not very stable, they could easily be fixed to the walls to solve this. The late check-in codes are sent by email the day when you arrive, so if you do not have access to your mail, you are blocked in front of the door, which is not very pleasant: what about sending the codes in advance or propose other options like sms (not everybody has to be always connected to the internet).
The hostel is well-situated and clean, the breakfast is honest (even if it could be somehow more varied). They have convenient little things that not all the hostels propose: lockers, ear plugs, towels, little lamps, small shelf next to the bed.

Exceptional hostel. The place was spotless, the rooms, showers, toilets and common room was really clean. Easy going and very well informed about the local area as well as transport and sights recommendation. "lockers" are massive which is always great and even locks can be borrowed for free. Breakfast was very good and not just a piece of bread with butter, there were several items on the table, really worth it. Location was 10 out of 10, right in the center with easy access to everything.

The Hostel is right at the city center, close to central rail station. The arrangement of accommodation is organized. I especially liked the common space where anyone can sit and keep on working in private. Overall, the place is nice for people wanting to stay at a good location with regular facilities at a low cost.

Breakfast wasn't ready until 8:20 and I was in hurry to eat. No one showed me around (showers, toilets etc) when I checked in. Little bit repairing needed here and there (bathroom areas). Very bad cigarette smell in the dorm whole time I was staying there.
Very cosy and beautiful place, comfy bed, curtains over bed, place for hanging your clothes on the wall next to your bed, also a little shelf and mirror installed next to your bed, enough electric outlets in the room, clean facilities, great location.

I emailed to request a low bunk in a dorm room due to having had surgery. I was informed that such requests could not be made. Unfortunately, due to my reduced mobility I fell to the floor from the top bunk ladder on my first morning there and hurt myself quite badly. I would recommend that people who have genuine mobility issues are permitted to reserve the low bunks as if not, this could be very dangerous.
Very central location near the train station, easy to find and clean.
