Amazing hotel with beautiful and clean room and comfy beds. The Soda maker and coffee maker in the room were a nice plus and the discount hotel guests get from the spa was a nice surprise. Staff were super nice. Thanks for a great stay!

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.

Kokemuksena +++
Palvelu loistava Hintataso hieman koholla alueen yleistasoon nähden Alueen palvelut sokkeloisesti pitkin vanhaa vankilanmäkeä. Varaudu kävelyyn. Kylpylä ei ollut hintansa arvoinen, mutta ei kuulu hotellin toimintaan.

Pet room
Hotelli huone oli kiva, olimme pet roomissa. Meillä oli 2 isoa noutaja urosta mukana. Pyysimme saada avaimen että oven saisi kokonaan lukkoon ulkopuolelta. Koska oven saisi sisäpuolelta koira todella helposti auki. Mutta tämä ei onnistunut. Sanoi että ovi olisi suuniteltu niin ettei koira saisi auki. Tietty ei pienempi koira saisi sitä auki, mutta isompi koira saa se todella helposti. Joten emme voineet jättää koiria keskenään, vaan vuorottelimme spa käynnit ja aamupalan. Joten tämä haittasi kahden keskeistä pari suhdeaikaa. Kun luulimme että tosiaan ovi olisi semmonen että saa kiinni, eikä aukea vaan kahvaa kääntämällä. Aamupala oli hyvä. Ja paikkana hotelli oli kivassa paikassa.
