    That it seemed there weren't many guests yet my room was right beside another guest booked in.

    The food packages were well thought out.

    We enjoyed our stay, so writing about what we did not like is harder. If you are walking from the train station (like we were) it is not that close, so you might want a taxi.

    The after hours entry directions are easy to follow, and the staff are fantastic. We needed to leave our bags after checking out and they kindly put them behind the desk while we explored the city. The breakfast was sort of Finnish traditional plus, meaning it had several additional options.

    The breakfast was lacking options. Only one type of warm food, and the condiments for making sandwiches was nonexistent.

    I liked how easy it was to find our rooms and the communication from the hotel was amazing. The coffee was superb. Checking in and out was incredibly easy.

    I found the light-structured wooden bed so noisy that I took immediately my mattress to the floor - and the sleep on the floor was ok. My wife struggled two nights with the noisy bed quite well - but for the third night she would have come to the floor-bed, too.

    Very good stopover place near the centrum of the town. Very good value for money. Good breakfast - no luxury.

    The own bathroom was reached via the floor. Not the most comfortable solution but ok. The door lock was a bit tricky.

    Close to the coast, a longer walk to the railway station. Nice and multilingual staff. Could easily stay for another night.

    I didn't know it was a religious centre with church in the complex. Nor that there was a seminar on God & sexual minorities in Swedish. It made for a curious mix as l am atheist. No lift for those who have mobility limitations. I did think €66 was steep for such basic, if spotless, facilities.

    It was the closest & cheapest to the port, but still a long walk, not with luggage. Parking for free just outside. Because of the weekend religious seminar, it is part of the evangelical church, the kitchen was open exceptionally that weekend. Clean but very basic room, wc/shower/washing unit next door but seperate room. There is no reception, just keys in a small locker with code outside. Opposite the prison, next to the sea. Bit of a walk to the centre.

    You share a corridor with the people next door, where your bathroom also is. Don't lock yourself out of your room! Place looks like a boarding school dormitors.

    Very nice breakfast and perfect location. Good value for your money for one night stay. Full kitchen and free coffee.

    The layout was a bit confusing, like a labyrinth and everything was very minimalist and unpersonalized, but there was a good reason for it ('normal' time use).

    Breakfast package was very good for, I benefited from it being a take away solution. Location was central enough to walk to the center but also quiet enough to have proper rest. Free parking was a good bonus.

    Two things: 1) The room does claim that there is a private bathroom. This is technically true, however, this private bathroom is not a part of the room. Thus, one has to go to the hallway (shared with one more room) to access the bathroom. 2) The curtains are not clearing out enough light. They would have been OK in most of the world and most of the year, but they are insufficient in July in Finland.

    The room is extremely simple but it is OK for a short stay, and it is VERY affordable. The location is right in the city center so everything is reachable by foot, and the hostel has its own (small) parking lot.
