Only stayed 1 night without breakfast, so can't offer a full review- but the staff were super friendly & helpful, bathrooms spacious & clean, nice size kitchen & breakfast room (couldn't see any tea/coffee available unless I missed it?), room was on the small side but fine for one night.

Lovely hostel, good location, very close to many things on foot, as well as by tram. Very sociable but not loud if you were trying to sleep. Good security system as well.

I stayed in this hostel for 2 nights in early September and had a great time. The communal space had a friendly social atmosphere and the kitchen was clean and well-equipped. There was a supermarket and tram stop (to reach centre of town/ferries to the archipelago) a 2 minute walk away. Also fun to have a free sauna! My only problems were: there was a constant low-level whirring noise in the bedroom, and the bedroom lockers didn't lock, so my stuff didn't feel completely secure.
