I booked one night from this simple but nice hostel at Suomenlinna. I arrived pretty late so I mostly just showered and slept when I arrived. But as someone who lives in Helsinki, Suomenlinna is an awesome location to stay at. You get to explore the historic fortress ruins and especially during the summer, it’s such an amazing place to be at. Sure it’s at a separate island but there is a ferry line which goes quite often and until very late too. And what’s amazing about this hostel that it’s just around the corner of the said ferry terminal. The ferry uses the same HSL ticket as any other public transportation in Helsinki. The hostel itself was clean, everything was informed well beforehand and the staff was quick to reply. There seemed to be pretty spacious common areas for eating and hanging out. I think it’s everything that a hostel needs to be

The best place ever. Location is fantastic. I was in the female dorm. Huge windows with beautiful curtains and wonderful views. Coffee tea on the floor. Huge place to sit (dining as well as sofas etc) and relax, read. Plenty of books. Fridge to store food. On the 1st floor kitchen with fridge. I was at the hostel only for 1 night but I used the amenities and enjoyed the island emmensly. Big store a few steps away with baked goods, groceries, prepared food, frozen food, fresh veggies and fruits.

Nice place to get some rest after Rammstein's show at olympic stadium. Location and scenery on the island are great, especially in summer season. Nothing to complain about. Everything was comfortable and clean.

Ihana paikka! Olen yöpynyt useamman kerran yksin, nyt tyttäreni ja 6-vuotiaan lapsenlapseni kanssa. Hekin ihastuivat paikkaan. Tullaan vielä uudestaan moneen kertaan! Voin suositella lämpimästi!

Miellyttävä majoitus kolmen hengen perhehuoneessa. Aamupala toimi näppärästi ja mukavasti. Siisteystaso oikein hyvä. Ainoa miinus oli perhehuoneiden äänieristys suhteessa naapurien ovien kolahduksiin ja keittiön ääniin.

Hyvä mesta. Yläkerran huoneiden sisäovet kannattaisi jossain välissä vaihtaa tiiveiksi. Nyt paistaa valo reunoissa eikä mitään ääneneristystä kahvitilaan. Nyt oli vähän muita yövieraita eivätkä heidän äänet pilanneet yöpymistämme.

Mukava ja viihtyisä pieni hostelli, ihanassa miljöössä Suomenlinnan saarella. Kahden hengen huoneemme sijaitsi yläkerrassa, eikä haitannut ollenkaan, että alakerrassa oli luokka oppilaita leirikoulua viettämässä. Äänieritys yläkerran huoneiden ja aulatilan välillä on heikko, kiitos rauhallisille naapureille. :)
