The Yard Hostel is centrally located in Helsinki, just a 5-minute walk from Helsinki Central Station. This hostel offers dormitory rooms as well as private rooms. Free WiFi is available.

Bathroom facilities at The Yard Hostel are shared. Clean and cozy, stayed in a private room so I can't say anything about the dormitories, but the twin room lived up to our expectations. We only stayed one night, but if we'd stayed longer, the lounge and kitchen seemed useful as well as the activity recommendations.
