It was what was expected of a hostel type room. The property was a bit outdated and rooms were a bit stuffy temperature wise, but staff did try to make our stay comfortable. Washer and dryer machines were iffy, but the detergent was included at least. We came during the winter, during their off peak season, and they were in the middle of renovations, so I cant fault them for that. Overall it met our needs.

Wonderful stay, we utilized the shared kitchen and laundry room areas, they were clean and well kept. We had an emergency for which we had to contact the guesthouse manager, Ingi, at 12AM, and he picked up and helped us. Overall, staff was amazing and place was very neat, would stay here again!

Expensive for what it is

The 1st floor bathroom could use updating and all of the pillows are flat. At least you get free coffee and tea in the morning.

The exterior of the property is a bit run down, but the inside was fine. Since we did late check-in, our rooms pincode was left on a card on the door frame as were other rooms', so anyone inside could just note the access codes and access these rooms. Kinda scary. Second time staying, would stay again.

The owners were great and kind. The room, while small, was very affordable and had a large window for light. The staff was friendly and helpful. And the location was very walkable. I would definitely stay here again!

Good for the price, staff very welcoming and helpful, its a bit run down but was clean and comfortable. My only issue was when i arrived to my studio flat all of the dishes, cutlery, pan etc hadnt been washed properly by the previous guest, so i had to wash everything before I could use it. But apart from that i really enjoyed my stay and would definitely return in the future.

The property is a little rundown so doesn’t make the best first impression on arrival. It is a hostel. Our room could have used more lighting (just had one bulb in the center of a large room), especially over or near the sink. However, it was clean, provided good kitchen and dining area, had an excellent 5 euro breakfast and the owner was very attentive to our need for late check-in and most helpful with advice. It was also lovely meeting up with other travellers. For Iceland, this was great value for accommodation.

Great stat for a week here. Lovely staff and a quick 10-12 min walk to the shops. Is close by one of the main roads out of Helsinki for the usual tourist hotspots. The two brothers who manage the guest house were very helpful for all sorts of things. Would def recommend and stay again.
