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

Kauppa oli nurkan takana ja lemmikit olivat luullakseni myös sallittuja joissain huoneissa

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.

Tunnelmallinen, siisti ja rauhallinen. Hyvällä paikkaa, kauppa vieressä ja vierestä lähtee lautta. Hyvät sängyt ja petivaatteet. Talvellakaan ei ollut kylmä vaikka vanha talo.

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.

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 :)

ヘルシンキからフェリーで15分のところにあるスメオンリンナ島の船着場から、本当に徒歩２分くらいの位置にありました。しかもその間にはスーパーがあり、買い物にも困りません。ホステルの周囲は本当に静かで安全。ホステル自体も綺麗で過ごしやすいので当初の予定より一泊追加してしまいました。口コミの高さに納得。レセプションの時間が短いことだけ注意が必要です。

Suomenlinnan hostel on mukava valinta Helsingissä yöpymiseen. Sinne on hyvät yhteydet ja miljöö on ainutlaatuinen. Hostel on rauhallinen ja siisti, henkilökunta on ystävällistä ja auttavaista. Minä viihdyn siellä hyvin ja aion jatkossakin yöpyä Suomenlinnassa.

On an island in the harbour, so need to take a ferry to get there - but ferry is part of the City transport system, so very easy. Hostel is quiet, clean, friendly, and in a historic building in what used to be a fortress guarding Helsinki harbour. Lovely situation for walking around the site, where there are plenty of cafes, restaurants etc. Also a very reasonable price for Helsinki accommodation.
