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.

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!

Good place to do time!

Nice hotel, little bit off the town. Room was nice though understandably quite little due previous use. Slept well, breakfast was just like on any other hotel, except no cappuccino. Strong recommendation for nearby Restaurant Kakolanruusu rather than hotel restaurant!

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.

Erinomainen

Hotellilla hyvä sijainti, funikulaarilla (köysirata) maksutta Aurajoen rantaan. Auton pysäköinti (maksullinen) viereisessä parkkihallissa, jossa sähköauton latausmahdollisuus. Hyvä palvelu, esitin toiveen ylimmän kerroksen parvekkeellisesta huoneesta - toiveeni toteutettiin. Rauhallinen huone, nukuimme hyvin eli "akut tuli ladattua". Kakolaan kannatti tulla, tulemme toistenkin:

Ranskalainen parveke ja historia

Huone oli erittäin siisti ja kahvikoneen kahvi oli herkullista. Ranskalainen parveke oli iloinen yllätys, parvekkeista voisi olla maininta varatessa, niin olisi ollut kiva saada jopa kunnon parveke. TV:stä katsottava historiallinen esittely oli upea, vankien tarinoissa voisi olla joku ikäraja kielenkäytön ja sellien julisteiden takia.
