However it is best to let host about arrival time, as there is no reception and place can be closed. Also it is probably best to travel with someone when booking this place. ##### nikita Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 12 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Ihan ok majoitus pariksi yöksi. Siistit pesutilat ja huoneet. Pesutiloissa olisi hyvä olla myös käsisuihku kattosuihkun lisäksi. Hyvät yhteistilat. Keittiö kaipaisi uudistamista. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 19 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hinta-laatusuhde oli kohdallaan.

Ночевали семьёй одну ночь. Удобно расположен. Чисто. Есть небольшая кухня, можно приготовить еду, но на кухне не было горячей воды. Больших замечаний нет, но на наш взгляд несоответствие цены качеству. ##### IRINA Stayed 1 night in May 2019 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Reeta 26 Oct 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Mukava rauhallinen sijainti.

Kaupunkiin lyhyt matka, seutu rauhallinen. ##### Reeta Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2017 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 18 Oct 2017 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Nuorelle kansainväliselle opiskelijalle sopiva Ystävällinen ja reipas henkilökunta. Opiskelijoiden suuri määrä vaikutti viihtyvyyttä laskevasti. Huoneissa ja wc/kylpyhuoneissa tulisi olla koukkuja tms. pyyhkeille, vaatteille. Sekä myös peilit. Suihkuverhot olisi myös kätevä olla, jottei roiski joka paikkaan. Pöytää ei ollut huoneessa, ei vaatenaulakkoa, ei henkareita. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2017 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Lukas 13 Oct 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Good to sleep, but not much more. The hostel was in a process of a refurbishement. The toilets and showers were newly made but not yet quite finished. Our room was ok even though a bit small. We didn't use the public room or the kitchen. These rooms weren't really inviting. Our reservation wasn't known at our check-in due to a defective smartphone. If there would have been noone there at that moment, I don't know wheter we could have checked-in or not. There are other ways to stay up to date for bookings even if the phone is broken. Over all it was ok. But we wouldn't have to spend more than the nights in this hostel. ##### Lukas Stayed 1 night in Oct 2017 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Birgit 10 May 2025 ##### Birgit Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Riikka 6 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Riikka Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Sami 31 May 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Sami Stayed 2 nights in May 2021 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Kaisa 8 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Kaisa Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susanna 7 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Susanna Stayed 1 night in Jun 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tatu 24 Jul 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Tatu Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2018 ---
