Das Hostel ist gepflegt und sauber. Die Lage ist in meinen Augen schwierig zu beurteilen, auf der einen Seite ist es toll auf Suomenlinna zu sein, auf der anderen Seite hätte es auch definitiv seine Vorteile nicht immer mit der Fähre fahren zu müssen. Die Fähre fährt zwar oft und regelmäßig und ist auch nicht zu teuer, allerdings würde ich bei meinem nächsten Aufenthalt in Helsinki ein Hostel in der Stadt vorziehen, da ein Tagesausflug auf die Insel ausreichend ist.
