We really loved this hotel. The "jailhouse" vibe was cool and we enjoyed the history presented along with it. The kakola neighborhood is beautiful and worth exploring. The hotel staff were very helpful and kind.

Once was a prison for people awaiting trial. Lots of character. The have done a lovely job of vonverting it into a hotel. Rooms smallish by North American standards but all in all, a good place to stay.

This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Breakfast is amazing: plenty of food choices and Finnish specialties including the Karelian pie (and veggie option of that even). The hotel is modern, clean and tidy, with maintaining a hint of their prison history. The associated part of the building is almost a community: a gym, a spa, bakery, restaurants, shops and a funicular going downhill to the river. Highly recommended, and definitely will stay there when I visit Turku next time.

Upea sijainti, kiva hotelli, aamiaistarjoilu -

Loistava sijainti, ystävällinen palvelu, viihtyisä huone ja mukava sänky. Laadukkaat pesuaineet asiakkaan käytettävissä. Aamiainen hyvä, mutta ei erityinen. Aamiaispöytiä ei siivottu henkilökunnan toimesta ollenkaan aamiaisen aikana, jolloin aamiaisen joutui nauttimaan pöydissä, joissa oli ennestään likaisia astioita. Muuten hotellin siisteys oli hyvä.

No huonehan oli todellinen elämys ja juuri sellainen kuin luvattiin. Hienosti on miljöö entisöity hotelliksi vanhaa kunnioittaen muutenkin. Aamupala oli monipuolinen. Asiakaspalvelu erinomaista. Tunsi tervetulleeksi kaikkien osalta. Siisteys priimaa.

Huone siisti ja hyvät säilytystulat. Ehkä joku hyllykaappi voisi olla. Sänky vähän liian pehmeä ja myös tyynyt. Muuten paikka erinomainen. Jotain pientä edullista iltapalaa voisi olla saatavilla.
