Islo Hos­tel pro­vi­des 24 com­for­table apart­ments in one- or twO-bedroom options. eve­ry apart­ment is equip­ped with kitc­hen and bathroom.

ISLO Hos­tel, owned by Sports Ins­ti­tu­te of Eas­tern Fin­land, is an excel­lent place to stay for indi­vi­dual tra­ve­lers, fami­lies and groups. Our hos­tel is loca­ted in a qui­et neigh­bor­hood in the cen­ter of Joen­suu. The hos­tel has 24 com­for­table and prac­tical rooms in one and two bedroom apart­ments. Each apart­ment has its´ own kitc­hen and bath­room. All of the sto­res and ser­vices of Joen­suu are a short walk away from the hos­tel. ISLO hos­tel is also just a stone´s throw away from the main sports cen­ters of Joen­suu: Joen­suu Cen­ter for Ball Games and Ath­le­tics, Joen­suu Aree­na and Keru­bi Sta­dium, Swim­ming Cent­re Vesik­ko, beac­hes, fris­bee golf cour­se, skiing trails — just to name a few! You can’t accom­mo­da­te much clo­ser to sports than this! 

We value our natu­re and aim to keep ISLO Hostel´s envi­ro­men­tal footprint as low as pos­si­be. Read more about ISLO Hostel´s envi­ron­men­tal res­pon­si­bi­li­ty here.

”I keep retur­ning to ISLO, because it’s loca­ted in the cen­ter of the city, still peace­ful, rooms are kept clean and there’s a lot of space, qua­li­ty-price ratio is excel­lent, break­fast tas­ty and healt­hy and the staff is friendly!”
