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.

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. :)

Hyvää perusmajoitusta

Siistiä oli sekä huoneessa että muualla talossa. Henkilökuntaa näki vain aamupäivällä. Yövyimme keskellä hellejaksoa, joten yläkerran huoneemme oli kuuma. Alakerrassa oli hieman viileämpää. Tuuletusikkunassa ei ollut myöskään ötökkäverkkoa. Sijainti hyvä kaupan ja sataman lähellä.

Perfect way to wake up on the island

Clean, comfy, quiet, perfectly located to explore the little island. Friendly staff, easy (very late) check-in. Lovely little touches in shower and bathroom necessities as well as complimentary tea and coffee. Lots of information, games, a TV, internet. Comfy beds. Definitely recommend - waking up on the island is pretty special.

Vaatimaton mutta viehättävä hostelli ihan mahtavalla sijainnilla. Varmasti tullaan uudelleen. Äänieristykset yläkerran huoneissa hyvin heikot, mutta jos ei tämä häiritse niin suosittelen. Hyvä hinta-laatusuhde.

Kotoisa, erittäin hyvä palvelu, loistava sijainti, kohtuullinen hinta! Suosittelen lämpimästi. Käydessämme meneillään oli tapahtuma, jonka vuoksi osa yhteisistä tiloista oli osan aikaa varattuna, mutta eipä paljon haitannut. Harmi, ettei säätä voi varata ennakkoon :)
