Hostel Suomenlinna — Hotel in Helsinki sub-region

Really lovely hostel on the islands suommenlinna, around 15 min ferry ride from Helsinki Market place, which is included in regular public transport ticket via the HSL app for very reasonable price. Ferries go very often (every 20-30 minutes) and until late at night, transfer is very convenient. The hostel is located in an old school building and on the smaller side, quite basic but clean and with all required amenities. The careful decorations and other touches give the building a really lovely, homey atmosphere. Lockers available on the rooms (take your own padlock are borrow from reception), outlets for phone charging next to all the beds. The staff was very kind and the breakfast simple but sufficient. Some board games and books available for guests. The islands themselves are beautiful and with a lot of history and definitely worth a full day exploration. It was a pleasure to spend my time in Finland in this...

Clean, peaceful simple hostel located on suomenlina island. Rooms were very basic with everything you need, curtains could be added for extra privacy. Helpful staff. Kitchen was rather small with limited storage space and cooking utensils. Only 2 showers for each gender which could be increased due to large number of guests. I visited during winter, so no breakfast was provided, but I received free filter coffee every morning which was a nice touch. Towels provided would also be a nice addition. The island itself was beautiful but taking the ferry in Central Helsinki was more challenging than expected with tickets being expensive and ferry's not being very frequent (every 30 mins or so), but a very peaceful environment with things to so (museam, shops, cafe, grocery store). Very basic but perfectly functional. I felt very safe...

So easy to get to, even late at night. If coming straight from the train station to the island, you can use the regional single ticket on both the train and the ferry. The island is an intensely beautiful place, and the hostel really cute. Knowing its history made it even better. We had the three bed private room, and it was spacious and comfortable. The complimentary coffee was unique and delicious. The hostel allows you to come in after reception hours with a door code and do check-in in the morning, and in our case, they were late in opening reception in the morning, and we had to make our flight, so we left a note telling them to charge our VISA, and they were fine with that. So it was great for our 24 hour layover...
