The hotel staff was friendly and helpful in all aspects of my stay. The room was suoer clean and modern. Only thing I would change was the pillows but I am a fussy sleeper so.. The location was perfect for me for visiting a relative in TYKS; 5mins walk across the road. The bistro within the hotel was top class-food was amazing quality and the staff again very lovely.
It was easy walk to city centre, took me anout 20mins on snowy well kept pathways. The corner shop opposite (K market) was also good to have nearby. Will definetly return!
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.
English language seems as a surprise to everyone - and the front dest 'speed of service' is questionable as well. Saying it the rooms are spacious and comfy (just the black floor at bathroom may be hiding 'hairy surprises' as for the housekeeping impossible to see - yet for you in the shower pretty noticeable). Overall it was OK- not sure I will be returning though.

Disliked: Amenities
The worse hotel ever: horrible decoration, hearing the neighboring room’s occupants using the toilet or the shower. Bad lighting overall but especially in the bathroom
Be careful staying at the weekend! There were so many guests on Saturday that the breakfast line snaked out of the door. A half-hour wait just to get a coffee and croissant was not worth it.
I spoke to the reception desk later in the day to say I missed out on breakfast and they did not care. I asked whether it would happen again on Sunday and they said “probably”. Not helpful and no other option provided. Poor service.

This is an unusual hotel. It feels somewhat like a university dormitory. Cheap fittings and fixtures in the rooms and gaudy colour scheme.
The restaurant and cafe are nice but the staff are not trained to a sufficient level. They’re slow to respond, forgetful and not knowledgeable about the menu.
The cleaners neither know nor care about customer service - one vacuumed around our table and wrapped an electrical cord around my foot. Another cleaned with headphones on, oblivious to requests from people.
Unless you’re in town to go to the hospital it’s not the place to be and yet it’s not awful either.
