Small place, quiet, right in the centre of the city.

Verryyy comfortable hostel. Nice common lounge area. Breakfast was decent. Curtains on beds with lamps and power outlets. Front desk was helpful. Facilities were very clean. Location was perfect right in the middle of everything.

Taryn

United States of America

Location is perfect. Everything like restaurant, bar,shopping is never by the hostel.

Hyunnam

United States of America

The location is on point - right on the city center. Restaurants, public transport, malls and bars are just walking distance or just outside the hostel. Bed is comfy and with curtain for privacy.

Wide selection of food for breakfast. The hostel is right next to Taco Bell and many great bars so I guess it's a good location for eating, drinking and partying

Gia

The public space was amazing - you actually feel like you’re in a fun atmosphere - and there is space to move and breathe. The breakfast was really good, too. Almost worth the price (it was €52 for a single when I booked).

Evan

United States of America

The staff was very friendly. The dorm was very good, with comfortable beds in nice, new-looking, cozy wooden frames with a curtain for privacy. Each bed had its own lamp and outlets. Very cozy. Coffee and tea available all the time. Spacious lounge area. Shower was pretty good, since each shower is in a private bathroom. Location is excellent, very close to the train station and to many bars, restaurants, and malls, and pretty close to the market square. I definitely recommend it!

Gustavo

light spacious room, comfortable bed, helpfull staff, cozy common area with netflix

Kristyna

Czech Republic

The owner of the hostel, Matilda, was quite heartwarming and recommends us a sauna. It was Sompasauna in northeastern Helsinki. It was an overwhelmingly positive experience, though out of expectation. You can have a decent breakfast here, with a choice of orange, cheese, ham, milk, yogurt, cereal and toast. The bed was quite comfy as well.

I didn't have a chance to somehow communicate with the receptionist, she was always doing something in the morning, so I had to check in and check out by taking and leaving the key card. I would've liked some interaction with the Yard team member. Also I was sleeping on the upper bed (room 5) near the ventilation and it seemed to me that I heard the smell of smoking maybe from the street. But the smell wasn't strong and it didn't bother me when I was sleeping
Since it was my first hostel experience I was expecting something not really comfortable, however Yard appeared to be amazing. I was pleased by the curtains by the bed and breakfast was also quite nice for me, I didn't need anything else. The room and the lounge is nice, it was not loud at all during my stay. I also appreciated the instructions that were given to me in the envelope and in the email, everything was clear and not difficult at all.

Great location for short visit and superb facilities for a hostel. Easy going and quiet vibe when I stayed. As a "mature" person that was fine as I was only using hostel type accommodation as Helsinki was so expensive for my budget.

One of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. Place is in the heart of Helsinki, the market square, Helsinki Cathedral and several other attractions are in walking distance. There is also a huge mall very next to the hostel and several restaurants surrounding it. Staff is extremely nice and rooms are squeaky clean.

Not a lot of space for breakfast - I noticed that usually lounge zone is occupied since morning by people to work or just to hang out.
The room was spacious, the bed is comfortable and clean. It was a very short stay there, just for a night, but I could say that it's a very nice place to stay in Helsinki, as it's in the center, lots of places to eat out nearby, big shopping mall. The biggest advantage for me was that the hostel is very close to the station. I came at night from airport by train to the station, and just walked 10 mins to the hostel. Really nice location.
