Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

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.

Lovely modern conversion from previous use as a prison. We had a balcony room which was large and very well appointed. We didn’t get to try breakfast as we were leaving on an early ferry but I’m sure it would have been as good as the rest of the hotel.
