Even tho i didn’t have any interaction or met any staff member, the instructions where very clear on the email you get. So I didn’t have any problems. My room (#1) was very comfy and it had a fan that it was a plus. Stayed in a 4 bed room but we were only 2 guys. Room was great and the facilities looks great too. I only stayed for 1 night but everything was fantastic. The location is also amazing. The metro from ferri terminal drop you 3 mins away from the hostel and the train station to get to the airport is 5 mins away.

No staff service whatsoever. I did not get a code to get into the room or the hotel. Nobody responded to the texts and calls. So I was stranded with two kids with us for the night. Kids got nervous and cried, it was a hectic and terrible night for my family.

They cancelled my reservation at the last moment, but kept my money. Refusing to refund. Staff very unhelpful and very slow. I wanted to say "you get what you pay for", but in this case I paid money and got nothing. So my sincere recco is to stay away from this shady place.

It is a basic hostel for the price almost equal to a hotel room somewhere else. Need to pay for towels separate. Shared bath room every time seems someone is always in it. Basic shower…total disappointment for the price!

Nice and clean hostel. The room was above the bar terraces but we could barely hear the noise and could sleep well.

I love this hostel because of the small details that makes traveling easy and convenient. Curtains give privacy for each dorm bed, the bathrooms are clean, door code is sent ahead of time, plenty to watch on tv, and basics for cooking in the kitchen.

The layout is weird. The hangout area is right in the center. So people can see you when you’re in/out the room/front door. When you go for shower/kitchen... Most people staying are young. They party until 4am then come back to the room and wake everyone by talking loud

Absolutely not for business travellers.I had to wait at the door for long time until someone Answer the door. They didnt tell me I had to pay for the towels and when I found out, there was nobody in the reception during 3 days. Because I left early in the morning and came back after 20.00 everyday. Basicly I didnt have towel for 3 days plus I didnt even have my own private toilet even I booked a double room for my own. Never again !!!

The location is great. The bed was especially big. At check-in, the staff didn't tell me that towels were paid, so I struggled to find them later. Honestly, it's not worth the price.

Excellent stay. I used to stay at hostels more often in my younger years, but now in my early 40s I more often do not. However, prices in Helsinki lead me to The Yard, and boy am I glad it did. What a great hostel. Located on the 3rd floor of a mixed-use building, you enter by a shared building entry along a pedestrian street and then buzz into the hostel. Once you're properly checked in you will receive codes to enter the building. The hostel is social but not loud. The living room is super comfortable, with some conversation and sometimes just people quietly working or on their computers. Age range varies, probably skewing younger but i was not the only non-20-something there. I was in a female-only room with 4 bunks (8 beds) in a HUGE room with wonderful light and seating area. Drawers under the beds can be locked, and open cubbies are also provided for non-valuables. Each bed has a curtain to ensure privacy, and in each bed area are outlets, a reading lamp, and shelf. Very clean. The hostel provides sheets and blankets, though you have to make your own bed. They do NOT provide a bath towel. I found this annoying. Rental was, I think, 2 euros. In my opinion, charge 2 euros more per night and nobody will bat an eye. Front desk service is super friendly and helpful. I was able to leave my bag in their bag room before check-in and after check-out. Be mindful that no staff is on site at night. Breakfast is provided, and it was basic but adequate.

Too high price and not enough toilets. We stayed in room 11 and we got to share one tiny toilet and shower with 6 other rooms at our end of the hallway. There was a constant waiting line outside. I had to tell the straff to remove the broken bathroom furniture from the shower room which was broken into pieces that was just laying around on the floor. The room was very warm and without any working ventilation.

Way too overpriced for what it is. I understand you are paying for Helsinki/Finnish city centre prices but still, because the amenities do not meet the mark, the price is just frustrating. The best part of the hostel is the common area. Apart from that the rooms are super cramped, the beds are very shaky and squeaky. Toilets are so tiny that the sink is literally in front of you when seated. Only 1 private shower room, the other is a shared-gender shower room with frosted glass that isnt full length. For such an expensive bed, they dont provide towels and you have to rent one for EUR2. Good bits - lockers under bed, plugs and light at each bed, and privacy curtain. Would not recommend - if the hostel hit the basics right, the price would have justified itself for the location, but right now it just falls super short.
