    The location was excellent, right in the center of the city, making it convenient to explore all the nearby attractions. The beds were comfortable, and the communal areas were cozy and cute. The kitchen had everything I needed to prepare my meals, and the customer service was great. Even when there was a small issue with a guest overstaying their reservation, the staff handled it quickly and professionally. my experience at Yard was excellent, and I would highly recommend it.

    The hostel is conveniently located close to the train station, making it easy to catch shuttles to the airport. It is also situated in the very center of the city, providing easy access to all the main attractions. the rooms are comfortable and clean, with nice spacious layouts. the staff are friendly and helpful, providing good information and recommendations for activities. the breakfast provided is tasty and a great way to start the day.

    The common area can get quite crowded at times, making it difficult to have a proper conversation or enjoy some peace and quiet.

    Great location, close to bars, restaurants, shopping, and public transport. Clean venue and rooms with good storage space. Receptionist offered helpful suggestions and assistance. Enjoyed the cozy armchairs and the small tables near the big couch.

    Lack of staff presence, no one asked for identification upon check-in. No night staff, almost got accidentally locked outside.

    We had a little issue with our door code, but the staff at Yard handled it quickly and professionally. Despite this minor inconvenience, we were able to fully enjoy our stay thanks to the great location, comfortable beds, and nice communal areas. The kitchen was also well-equipped, great to cook our own meals. I would definitely recommend Yard for its customer service and positive experience.

    Great atmosphere and friendly staff made my weekend stay enjoyable. The hostel offered clean and cozy facilities, including comfortable beds with curtains for privacy. The well-equipped kitchen was a bonus for preparing meals. the central location allowed easy access to key sights and the railway station.

    I was disappointed by a couple of things. the additional charge for towels was inconvenient.

    I got great value for my money staying at this hostel. The room was clean, and the privacy curtains on the bunk bed were a nice touch. The location was perfect, right in the city center, and the staff were friendly and helpful.

    The only thing that could have made the breakfast better was more variety in the food options.

    The Yard Hostel exceeded my expectations. The common area had a trendy decor and a great vibe, drawing on the creative and design-focused atmosphere of Helsinki. The staff were pretty good too accommodate me, even providing all the necessary codes for my late check-in. The cleanliness of the hostel was perfect, and the bunk beds were comfortable. I especially loved the fact that each bunk had its own plug and light. the hostel offered free tea, coffee, and breakfast. Despite being located in a bustling area, the hostel was surprisingly quiet and peaceful. I highly recommend this hostel for anyone visiting Helsinki.

    The owner, Matilda, was warm and recommended the Sompasauna sauna in northeastern Helsinki, a surprisingly positive experience. The breakfast had a good variety of options including orange, cheese, ham, milk, yogurt. The bed was also very comfortable. The location of the hostel was great, with a well-equipped kitchen and a nice lounging area. The room was a decent size and the bathroom was clean.
