    Beautiful building, good facilities and great location

    The best thing about this hostel is it's location on Suomenlinna. If you want to take an amazing evening ferry to see the sunset over Helsinki and then take a morning walk and look at the endless sea horizon, then I strongly recommend to stay...

    Great atmosphere, everything that I needed for a sleepover. Nice to have tea available all the time in a common room. Bathrooms very clean and colorful:) But the island location by the ferry is the best.

    It's pretty easy getting to the island and back (24 hr ticket = 9 euros) as they go frequently. The late check-in could be an issue for some if you arrive early, but you can still leave your bags in the hostel and explore the island fortress...

    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...

    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)...

    Simple, homely and very peaceful. The rooms were simple dorms but nice, comfortable and clean. Petra was an amazing hostess who really loved welcoming in such a warm manner- I instantly felt at home!

    A nice hostel on Suomelinna, which is a cool place to stay in Helsinki and the islands are easy to reach via public transport. The facilities had all one would need for a short stay in a hostel.
