Located on a group of islands off the coast of Helsinki, Suomenlinna is a maritime fortress and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Ferries operate from early morning until 2 a.m. Our hostel is just a stone’s throw from the main pier.

In addition to accommodation, we offer a venue, meals and services for meetings and events.

Tolle Lage! Wenn abends alle Ausflügler weg müssen, kann man noch die Ruhe, die Natur und den Blick aufs Wasser genießen. Trotzdem ist man schnell in Helsinki. Da ein Supermarkt vor Ort ist, ist auch die Selbstkocher Küche super. Empfehle ich gerne weiter!
