The hostel offers a 24-hour reception and security lockers. Bed linen is included in room prices. Guests can relax and socialize in the common room. I was satisfied from first moment when the person on reception was kind and welcomed me with smile. Room was nice and clean, there was a nice kitchen with lot of tools, so it was no problem to cook/bake something. Maybe only disadvantage is only one shower, but it is no problem. People in the room were quiet and respectfull.

Located on Helsinki’s Katajanokka island, surrounded by the sea, this hostel is a 5-minute tram ride from the city centre. Vyökatu Tram Stop is just around the corner. The Viking Line ferry terminal and Kauppatori Market Square are few minutes' walk away. Also other interesting sights are close by. The hostel had great access to historical sites, the metro, and trams. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I tried the breakfast one morning for €10—it was okay. Also, the sauna was free in the mornings, which was a nice bonus!
