The Yard Hostel  

In the heart of downtown Helsinki, a boutique hostel just a five-minute walk from Central Railway Station. Walkable to Kiasma and the Atheneum and a short drive from Helsinki Cathedral and Mall of Tripla. Perfect for travelers after a central, family-friendly base close to bars, restaurants and city sights.

Locally run, relaxed and cool with a boutique-hostel vibe. Offers both private rooms and dorms — most dorm beds have privacy curtains — and warmly decorated rooms with showers and blackout curtains. Large lounge with lots of plants, a library and a playroom keep the mood social and comfy. Accessible with an elevator and private check-in/out.

Bar with a friendly evening atmosphere, a well-equipped shared kitchen and free tea and coffee all day. Complimentary Wi‑Fi across the property, an arcade/game room and a TV in the common area for evening hangs. Tour desk to book local excursions and onsite self-parking available (charges may apply).

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the hostel and express check-in/express check-out for quick arrivals and departures. Complimentary newspapers in the lobby.

No formal restaurant — instead, a social bar and a communal kitchen where you can cook your own meals. Free tea and coffee all day and a street outside that’s bubbling with local bars and restaurants to sample Finnish and international flavors.
