Nice place to get some rest after Rammstein's show at olympic stadium. Location and scenery on the island are great, especially in summer season. Nothing to complain about. Everything was comfortable and clean.

Hiljainen luminen Suomenlinna

Ihana paikka jossa hiljaista nukkua ja mukaan saunotaan myös koiran. Huone oli todella siisti.

Mukava ja viihtyisä pieni hostelli, ihanassa miljöössä Suomenlinnan saarella. Kahden hengen huoneemme sijaitsi yläkerrassa, eikä haitannut ollenkaan, että alakerrassa oli luokka oppilaita leirikoulua viettämässä. Äänieritys yläkerran huoneiden ja aulatilan välillä on heikko, kiitos rauhallisille naapureille. :)
