The room was simple but clean and well maintained. The building is old but has character. The location is convenient for walking to both the old town and the ferry docks. The morning waffles was a nice surprise.

Nice staff, clean room. Stayed in a room facing where the sun rises, so it got hot in mornings, even with the window open. Shared Bathroom near my room was a bit of an issue for cleanliness, but functional and was able to get done what was needed. Disappointed in the limited availability of free access to the pool and sauna-only 9-11am when staying there, otherwise had to reserve time and pay extra. Convenient area-close to ferry terminal for Helsinki and Stockholm, and close to the old town

Amazing Hostel - my en suite room was like a hotel and the common room was so cool to relax in. In terms of location, you step out of the door and you see the arch into the main road of the old town. Staff were friendly and they sold drinks and snacks at reception. Would definitely stay here again.
