28 November 2009	Elena Knyazeva most of all I enjoyed the location:beautiful and silent. Also would like to mark cleanliness.	95%

17 November 2009	Jaswant Bhangal The best hostel in Finland. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and ultra clean. The location is great, only a 15 minute ferry ride and the hostel itself is situated next to the ferry drop off point. The hostel is situated in an historic converted school with excellent facilities; free WiFi and internet terminal for those without, large spacious kitchen/common room, extremely clean showers and wash basins, and an excellent buffet breakfast is available too. What really makes this hostel stand out is the friendliness of the staff; Marco and Marja made me feel like I was at home, they live and work on the Island and are show passion for their neighbourhood and the surounding nature and historical aspect of the Island. Suomenlinna Hostel is far superior and extremely cleaner than the downtown hostels and offers value for money. Stay here with confidence; truely a home away from home.... Thank you Marco and Marja for a wonderful stay.	100%

07 November 2009	Tim Anderson Hostel is very neat and Suomenlinna Island is pleasant. The Island didn't have as much to see and do as we had hoped though so a day trip could be a better option - particularly in low season. The hostel kitchen is ordinary: small and with poor facilities. Its right in front of the rooms on the second story so I imagine we woke a few people up when we made breakfast. Staff are friendly but don't go out of their way to add anything to the vibe of the place - fairly typical of a YHA place.	60%

27 October 2009	Dara Stanley It is very clean, in a nice old building, in a lovely quite location (UNESCO heritage site) with easy ferry access straight to the city centre (ferries even run until late at night). The only draw back is that the self catering kitchen is very small and can only accomodate one person cooking at a time.	77%

04 October 2009	Customer review the hostel itself is okay, and the island as well but not to stay there for the night, especially if you travel alone and would like to meet other people as well. Everything closes at 6. If you wanna be isolated and take a rest then it is the perfect place otherwise choose something else!	65%

30 September 2009	Customer review This is NOT some filthy noisy party hostel crowded with drunkards.... and that is why I loved it! This is an former school building a lovely island, just off the coast of Helsinki. Easy enough to get there with the public transport ferry. And fabulous for morning walks before the first tourists from the mainland arrive!!	82%

28 September 2009	Silvana Carranza The location is perfect for tourists, being a 5-10 min walk away from the historic and beautiful sea castle and only a 20 min ferry ride from the city.	100%

26 September 2009	Customer review Clean, calm, and conveniently located both for Suomenlinna's sights and the ferry to mainland Helsinki, Hostel Suomenlinna was an enjoyable place to stay.	82%

27 August 2009	kaela glass This Hostel is one of the cleanest I have stayed in so far in Scandanavia. Smelled like fresh laundry and the price included linens, which is rare. Few rooms and few beds makes it quiet and good for those travellers looking for a more tranquil and relaxed location. Location was great even though on the island. The ferry takes you directly from the island to the market square and city center, no inconvenience at all. We really enjoyed our stay and didnt want to leave.	97%
