Hostel Suomenlinna

Just amazing place. So friendly and attentive staff. They went extra mile with the first aid kit for my mum. Much appreciaited. Hostel is very well maintained and stands in truly unique island in Helsinki arcipelago. I would love go back one day.

We stayed for 4 nights on our trip to Helsinki and we could not have had a better experience. The hostel is cosy, quaint and right next to the ferry stop that takes you to the mainland. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We usually avoid breakfast buffets as we find them a bit hectic but the Hostel Suomenlinna breakfast was quiet and not stressful at all. There are cute graphics everywhere that have clear and specific instructions for hostel policies, which was helpful as both me and my partner have autism. The room was beautiful, the bed was comfortable and priced very reasonably. Recommended!

Great stay at this cozy hostel. Large living room. Kitchen for guests. Very clean. Possibility to go for a walk early in the morning on the island before the tourists arrive. Well located right next to the ferry. I recommend this place to rest.

Great places, only had one roommate super peaceful hostel, ferry was absolutely on time so make sure you schedule yourself for that otherwise it’s a solid 40 mins wait in winter.

I loved to open the door to this cosy, friendly place each time I did. Very polite and helpful stuff, little lighting-chains, plants, clean facilities, interesting historical information, beautiful picture at the walls, coffee for free, nice functional kitchen. Can't wait to come back. Kiitos.

Helsinki has many places to stay in. However, this hostel takes the top spot for an one-night stay. The location, which is the most attractive aspect - near the Suomenlinna fortress. Staying here was a dream come true experience. Rooms were very clean, quiet and our room offered a sea view. Moreover, the staff is very helpful both during the delicious breakfast and during the arrival. The code did not work the first time but the staff on the support line helped us get to the hostel successfully. Kiitos for your services, we'll be happy to get back :-)

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 the whole time.

The Suomenlinna ferry runs every 20min. The price of the ticket is included in the AB ticket price. The hotel staff are friendly and the food was of high quality. Rooms are standard hostel quality about 8 people per room. Sheets and towels were clean, and facilities seemed to be maintained regularly. Bathrooms could be better overall. The location is the biggest selling point here, there are amazing 360 scenic views a few steps away. In the evening, when the tourists stop arriving in large numbers, you feel a sense of tranquillity on the island. This would be a perfect place to write a book or something.
