Bob W Turku City Centre
Mycket bra och förmånligt boende i Åbo centrum. Trots att rummet var ut mot torget och huvudgatan så var det riktigt tyst och lugnt. Minikök med presskanna och stor kaffeportion samt tepåsar. Blir definitivt flera besök på detta hotell.

Hotel Kakola
Lovely helpful staff in a very characterful building! Note that the spa is a short walk away, with an €25 charge. Would highly recommend.

Radisson Blu Marina Palace Hotel, Turku
My room was a little beat up. Definitely has seen better days but everything was clean and worked as it should. I’d say they’re due for a cosmetic update. I like that the windows open a bit for fresh air. I don’t like having to use my key to work the lights. If that’s required at least have the card ...

Holiday Club Turun Caribia
This is VERY child friendly, so if you are looking for peace and quiet, this is not for you. That being said, the rooms were quite soundproof unlike in the U.S. The staff was friendly, the breakfast spread was large, and the location was good.
