The Yard Hostel

Probably the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in! Really clean and quiet. Lovely kitchen and common area. Many toilets and showers- that were also clean. Staff were very nice and the location is right in the city centre. Would return

The location is amazing for nightlife—you literally step downstairs and you're right at the nightclub. However, check-in can be tricky. I arrived late in the evening and received no self-check-in instructions beforehand, only finding out what to do after spotting a sign at the entrance. I strongly recommend reaching out to them prior to your arrival. Also, unfortunately, I ended up getting very itchy after returning home.

According to the budget, it is a good location. It's close to the center. Overall, it is good, but there are not enough toilets for the guests. They should also clean the toilets promptly since they don't have enough.

Everything was perfect

The bedroom is comfortable and the area is clean. the staff is kind and helpful. The toilet is near common room its not really comfortable but there are another toilet too.

The hostel is perfect for travelers in search of a fair accommodation at the heart of helsinki city centre. It’s quite strange though that receptionists and hostel staff are almost never present and the only appearances were the one of the cleaning maid. The result is that guests don’t really communicate or interact no matter the huge living room and sofas and the fact that they all have to share the kitchen amenities. What happens is that the level of tidiness and accountability for the usage of mugs, plates, cutlery depends on your luck and the guests who check in each and every day. By the last day we had partygoers stopping only for a night out and cans of pepsi and a bottle of vodka were left on the common table (not sure if it was a shy invite to indulge) while the sink and the dishwasher were crammed with badly rinsed stuff. It’s a pity cause the common showers, the toilets and the rooms were fairly clean, we simply expected the typical hostel experience where you manage to socialize a bit more thanks to the staff.

I had a brief stay at the hostel, very easy process to check in and very informative.. The only con is that one of the shower didn’t smell too good but overall it was clean and very comfortable
