The property used to be a butchery long time ago, with the main building being the former administrative office (IIRC). Thus, each room of the main building is named after the actual office that used to be there, like accounting, general manager and so on (nice touch). The main building also holds the showers, the reception, the kitchen, the laundry room and the breakfast hall upstairs. Ship models decorate the building everywhere giving it a lot of sea spirit, with a couple of comfy sofas to dive in and relax. The shared room is located in an adjacent building, at the time of my visiting it has space for 8 people. It has two toilets, an small kitchen (no oven or burners), a microwave oven and a large refrigerator. The beds are comfortable, the space is cozy - forget about what you know about shared rooms -, there are lockers for each of the bed and a big mirror to make sure you look sharp before going outside :) The main table is a big one where 6 people can eat comfortably at the same time. Also the place is big enough to hold a party by itself. On the outside near the main building there’s also a nice deck with a some garden chairs and a couple of tables; the place is bathed in sun for the most part of the day.

I pretty much enjoyed the whole property.

I liked the breakfast, but I had a little bother finding the location. It was a little distance from the bus station. But, the staff were are very nice and friendly, and appreciated my efforts to speak some Finnish :)

The only negative was it was a little distance from the bus station, bearing in mind a lot of travellers are arriving weighed down with luggage and are on foot.

It's absolutely amazing hostel. Staff is nice and accommodating. Breakfast was nice and enjoyable. Room was awesome, with fridge. Not too far from Kirjurinluoto where there is summer festivals every year. My third time staying in this hostel and I'll be back when I'm going to Pori again next time.

Nice youth hostel in Pori! The staff is super nice, helpful and reactive. I arrived late, but everything was set-up so I could get my keys easily! Only 20min walking from the train/bus station and the city center.

Nothing! Really nice stay

Friendly comfy hostel - you can borrow slippers! Clean and welcoming. Would happily stay again. Supermarket nearby, city centre close.

It's about a 25 min walk from the bus and train station, not too bad.

Excellent breakfast, worth the €9 fee. Super friendly owner and staff.

The shared bathrooms are OK but could use a little updating.

Quite good and central location and perfect late arrival procedure. Very friendly staff, large room.

Most of the hostel is a bit worn out.
