"Great stay. Loved it"

"Clean room, incredibly comfy bed, great service. Will definitely stay again."

"The hotel is just one block from Turku University. The staff is great. The breakfast buffet is more like an American lunch or supper. 10 minute walk to the Turku Cathedral. We stayed 7 nights. Awesome. "

"All good, but rooms were old style but was neat and clean. "

"What a lovely hotel! It has an inviting, striking lobby, staffed with kind people. It’s near the city center, the Aura River, shops, museums, Turku Castle & Cathedral. Breakfast buffet is great. Used a hotel bike for 4 days while there to explore lovely Turku. Staff is congenial and helpful to a foreigner who asks many questions! I highly recommend this charming boutique hotel! "

"On a hot summers day, there needs to be good fan systems to keep the rooms cool. Open windows don't help if they're is no breeze coming in. The room was retro style, bathroom had much grime there, and should be cleaned better. Breakfast was good. Filling, and nice bread. Spa was also nice, with option to swim in the seas too. But it is in need for a refurb, and modernisation. Gym has good equipment, so could be an ideal team training venue. "
