Lock in a great price for The Yard Hostel – rated 8.8 by recent guests!

to get started.

Excellent location, very close to the railway station, and within walking distance to most of the attractions. Cozy lounge where people gathered and chat. Breakfast was simple but great. I had a single room and it was more spacious than I'd expected. Luggage storage (till 8pm), and I really appreciated that they let us hang out in the lounge even after checking out.

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.

“amazing fresh air in rooms with great ventilation! and clean”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
trash bins only for "bottles" and "trash" - it's 2020, no trash bin for organic/paper/plastic at least? come on. also the WCs are nice and clean but would be amazing to have at least SOME shelf near the sink/mirror to put your toothpaste/cosmetics on. literally had to put my stuff in pants pockets or in the sink, little detail but very frustrating
easy to check in late with minimum interactions with the staff (also easy to check out). very self-service (no need to ask any staff members for things - all easy to do by yourself. great lounge, clean showers and WCs (lots of showers and toilets and all very private! breakfast was simple but decent

The breakfast was basic but okay, The showers were on the other side of the hostel and the locks on the toilet could be more secure. I've stayed here before and it was good but this time the atmosphere was a little dull and the hostel just seemed very basic.
The location was really good, right in the centre and close to the train station. The rooms were clean and big, but it was busy. The facilities were good and staff were very friendly.

Perhaps that toilets are directly facing kitchen and are a bit on a smaller side. Showers are not separate units but only cubicles with sliding door. This hostel is also much more expensive than any others I ever visited.
Nice beds, nice staff, comfortable lounge and breakfast, safe place, very central and relaxed rather than busy. You can choose any available bed in your assigned room. Curtains always make all the difference although they could be more heavier for even better privacy and light blocking. But overall this is a great place and comes highly recommended.

The price of a dorm is very expensive. I have travelled arround the world and this was the most expensive one. The services were oké but not great. Make your own bed, unmake the bed by checking out, no towel, no reception after 20:00..
The open space is good. This is not a party hostel, very calm. The rooms and beds are great.

Super comfortable and welcoming, perfect on these cold nights. Beds have big lockers and curtains! Curtains make all the difference. Each bed in 8-bed room felt individually capsuled. Well done. Curtains could be heavier tho!

Toilets are off the kitchen.
This place is really well set up, with very comfortable beds and plenty of toilets and showers. The girls are super helpful and can set you up with a SIM card fir Finland. There’s a free buffet breakfast every morning and a well set up kitchen. The location is perfect, walking distance from the station and right in the middle of town. All the main sights are an easy walk from the hostel. There’s a really nice lounge/sitting area as well. I thoroughly recommend The Yard.

Access to the top beds in an 8-bed dorm was via a wooden ladder that made my check in uncomfortable because I arrived late at night when everyone was sleeping.
A hostel in the centre of Helsinki, excellent location, easily accessible on foot from the train station, and nearby Kamppi shopping mall where a traveller can find anything they need. The space was beautifully decorated and clean.
