It's a comfortable bed. It was really nice to have so many outlets in your bunk. Two shelves to keep stuff. Hooks to hang stuff. The sleeping area itself is quite comfortable overall.
The are only three bathrooms and four showers. It wasn't a big problem for me only staying a couple days but for longer stays that could get annoying I think.
Well equipped kitchen. Nice size fridge. Wifi can be spotty so bring your own if that's vital for you.

One of the nicest hostels I’ve ever stayed at. Really enjoyed. Only downside was there were only 4 toilets and 3 showers. Didn’t seem overly crowded and still found them full at times. Doesn’t seem like enough if they were at capacity for beds.

Absolutely Wonderful Hostel

Our twin room was very comfortable. We had a window we could open by which all of the singing birds greeted us in the morning. The beds were comfortable, and there were plenty of outlets for all our needs. The gathering room is nice in size and comfort, and the kitchen was well supplied. The front desk has limited hours.

The shared bathroom worked out well. The shower room is separate from the sinks and toilets. All clean.

The location is perfect for getting to all of the various sights. The elevator works well. We couldn't have been happier.

Great place at excellent location.

Even tho i didn’t have any interaction or met any staff member, the instructions where very clear on the email you get. So I didn’t have any problems. My room (#1) was very comfy and it had a fan that it was a plus.

Stayed in a 4 bed room but we were only 2 guys. Room was great and the facilities looks great too. I only stayed for 1 night but everything was fantastic.

The location is also amazing. The metro from ferri terminal drop you 3 mins away from the hostel and the train station to get to the airport is 5 mins away.

No staff service whatsoever. I did not get a code to get into the room or the hotel. Nobody responded to the texts and calls. So I was stranded with two kids with us for the night. Kids got nervous and cried, it was a hectic and terrible night for my family.

They cancelled my reservation at the last moment, but kept my money. Refusing to refund. Staff very unhelpful and very slow. I wanted to say \"you get what you pay for\", but in this case I paid money and got nothing. So my sincere recco is to stay away from this shady place.

Good location and nice lobby with good kitchen facilities for all guests. However, our \"private room with window\" turned out to be non-ventilated, and the window was deliberately locked. The result being that there was no fresh air whatsoever and about 25 degrees room temperature for the night.

Great hostel in a great location.

I love this hostel because of the small details that makes traveling easy and convenient. Curtains give privacy for each dorm bed, the bathrooms are clean, door code is sent ahead of time, plenty to watch on tv, and basics for cooking in the kitchen.

never again

The layout is weird. The hangout area is right in the center. So people can see you when you’re in/out the room/front door. When you go for shower/kitchen...
Most people staying are young. They party until 4am then come back to the room and wake everyone by talking loud

Not for business travellers

Absolutely not for business travellers.
I had to wait at the door for long time until someone Answer the door. They didnt tell me I had to pay for the towels and when I found out, there was nobody in the reception during 3 days. Because I left early in the morning and came back after 20.00 everyday. Basicly I didnt have towel for 3 days plus I didnt even have my own private toilet even I booked a double room for my own. Never again !!!

Fantastic hostel

Excellent stay.
I used to stay at hostels more often in my younger years, but now in my early 40s I more often do not. However, prices in Helsinki lead me to The Yard, and boy am I glad it did.

What a great hostel. Located on the 3rd floor of a mixed-use building, you enter by a shared building entry along a pedestrian street and then buzz into the hostel. Once you're properly checked in you will receive codes to enter the building.

The hostel is social but not loud. The living room is super comfortable, with some conversation and sometimes just people quietly working or on their computers.

Age range varies, probably skewing younger but i was not the only non-20-something there.

I was in a female-only room with 4 bunks (8 beds) in a HUGE room with wonderful light and seating area. Drawers under the beds can be locked, and open cubbies are also provided for non-valuables. Each bed has a curtain to ensure privacy, and in each bed area are outlets, a reading lamp, and shelf. Very clean.

The hostel provides sheets and blankets, though you have to make your own bed. They do NOT provide a bath towel. I found this annoying. Rental was, I think, 2 euros. In my opinion, charge 2 euros more per night and nobody will bat an eye.

Front desk service is super friendly and helpful. I was able to leave my bag in their bag room before check-in and after check-out. Be mindful that no staff is on site at night. Breakfast is provided, and it was basic but adequate.

Way too overpriced for what it is. I understand you are paying for Helsinki/Finnish city centre prices but still, because the amenities do not meet the mark, the price is just frustrating. The best part of the hostel is the common area. Apart from that the rooms are super cramped, the beds are very shaky and squeaky. Toilets are so tiny that the sink is literally in front of you when seated. Only 1 private shower room, the other is a shared-gender shower room with frosted glass that isn't full length. For such an expensive bed, they don't provide towels and you have to rent one for EUR2. Good bits - lockers under bed, plugs and light at each bed, and privacy curtain. Would not recommend - if the hostel hit the basics right, the price would have justified itself for the location, but right now it just falls super short.

Only complaint I have is the mattress - it felt lumpy and offered no support. If I weren't so exhausted, I probably wouldn't have been able to fall asleep :)

Sophisticated city centre concept hostel

I came for the sight-seeing, not to party, and this is perfect for that! The hostel is clean quiet and comfortably trendy - do not expect to be babysat here. The team run it like a home from home, so the front door isn't open to random people coming and going - very secure. Likewise the communal areas are a comfortable living room, not a frat party. :)
I met some awesome people to go to the bars just across the street, which was perfect, as it's nice to return to the quiet hostel at the end of the night, ready for another wonderful day in Helsinki!

Positiivinen kokemus

Positiivinen kokemus, todella siistiä ja rauhallista. Ohjeet selkeitä ja kattavia. Yövyin 6 naisen huoneessa (3 parvisänkyä). Sain yläsängyn, koska saavuin myöhään illalla ja se oli hiukan hankalaa, kun piti laittaa lakanat ja kiivetä tikkaita. Toisaalta minulla oli pistorasiat, peili, hylly, valo ja verho, joten viihdyin hyvin, kunhan asetuin. Tulen varmasti uudelleen ja kokeilen silloin toisenlaista huonetta.

pleasant experience, good value

hostel experience - but a single solo room. the room itself was top notch and way better than I expected. it was clean, very good looking and the table for working could fit two laptops easily. bed was ok, very clean but a bit too bouncy and soft for my taste. but tastes may vary of course.
the public toilet on the corridor had door handle and lock mechanism very clunky and almost broken. was surprised the towel wasn't included in the price and since my check-in was very late, I could not get a towel. so a very important detail was lost in the messages. shame.

overall - pleasent experience for a single room single traveller. good value for 65 euro per night.

人権最重視で、金儲け主義ではない最高のホステルだったと思います。

このホステルは大変すばらしい。理由は沢山あります。①深夜に到着しましたが、事前の連絡およびカウンターデスク上の丁寧な手作り封書案内によりスムーズに部屋に入れました。館内へは土足厳禁で清潔さが保たれています。③部屋のBED配置及びBEDの作りがすばらしい。個人のプライバシーが重視されています。④荷物預かりは無料です。⑤不審者が入っていないか夜中に外部警備会社の巡回がありました。⑥リビングの設計も素晴らしく旅人同士の交流や情報交換がよい雰囲気の中でスムーズに取れます。また利用したいと考えています。
