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!

Great staff. We arrived at 8 am from an overnight cruise from Stockholm and they let us check in. So nice. Everyone here has been fantastic at this unique hotel.
Alfred, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
James, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Prisoners have too much comfort.
Efficient check-in/check-out via online portal. Quiet room and big bathroom.
Adam, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Häkki heilahti
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.
