to get started.

Very acceptable hostel, reasonably large room, comfortable space in the dorm room. Lounge area spacious as well with comfortable seating. Shared kitchen adequate but not much room for more than one or two cooking.

Love the location right down town. Also large rooms and large beds. All super clean and cozy. Love the curtains in the beds. Each bed has power and night light.

Oula

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, ultra clean facilities, bathroom and showers are closed so you have privacy, and the location in prime! 5-10 minute walk to tourist places. Includes nice breakfast: amazing price-value in Helsinki

Because of the virus I had to take an emergency flight to come back to my country before the closing of borders. They refuse to refund the money of the night I didn t use. Considering the situation it s a pity.
Everything is made to créate a private space : curtains, mirror, spaces to put your stuff in the bed. The location is great !

The water in one of the shower rooms is not strong enough, and there’s no place to put stuff inside, so that’s a little bit inconvenient.
The breakfast is nice and the kitchen is well-equipped!

I wished the towels were free so I didn't have to bring my own, but it's just my thought.
The location was perfect! Close to everything you would want to see in Helsinki. The room was spacious, the bed was really comfortable and cozy, plus we had curtains for privacy. The bathroom was always vacant and clean. Breakfast was also good.

“Definitely recommend this hostel - central option with a comfortable 'home' feel”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group
- • Stayed 1 night
Breakfast options were sparse but we were happy with the porridge, although we missed some fruit to go with it (I guess that is due to the Finnish winter though). One of the doors in the shower room didn't close properly (slid open again), and in another shower the tap handle came off. Bathrooms could have been cleaner, especially at the end of the day.
The hostel is in a very central location, only a few minutes from the station and a not far from the harbour. Staff was very friendly and helpful, and spoke English and German. The communal area was made up to a high standard with comfy sofas and sofa chairs, a table and even a TV. Also it was surprisingly quiet for a hostel, people were mainly on their laptops, listening to music or talking quietly. We had a double room which was small but nice with comfortable (yet very soft) twin beds. There were several (4?) shared bathrooms and a shared shower room with 4 showers, thus not much waiting time at all.

There’s no towel, so u can bring your own, or rent it by 2 euro. It’s not so big deal.
Beds have curtains. It is able to borrow lock for free. It was good to hangout with other tourists in the lounge. Breakfast was okay. Clean room, toilet, and shower room as well.

“Started well but ended not so well”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler

What I didn't like is something the hostel is not responsible for..that is the people you end up sharing room and lounge space with. I had a drunk person asking too many things and quite bothersome. Now that is always a chance when you opt to stay in a shared space. But given that no one from Yard Hostel is around in late hours means you have to handle such issues all by yourself, which is not great.
Location was good as it was walking distance from Central Station. I got what I expected. The description was very clear - a bed in a dormitory with 3 other people, common showers and WC. The bed had good electric connection. The wifi was good. The lounge area was good as well. Tap water is drinkable and coffee and tea is in ample free supply.
