The Hotel Kakola is a unique property. It's one of the most unusual hotels we have stayed in because up until just a few years ago it had been a prison! They certainly did a fabulous remodeling to make it into a lovely hotel.
The gals at the reception were very friendly and helpful. Henna went above and beyond spending time with us to give us ideas for touring the area.
We enjoyed both the outdoor terrace and the buffet breakfast.
It's a bit eerie to see handcuffs on the backs of the chairs in the lobby bar but it's all part of the effect of the prison!
Our room was very spacious and lovely!
I would highly recommend the Hotel Kakola for your stay in Turku, Finland!

Everything was fantastic except we were offered no options when we questioned the lack of bar fridge and our dinner ingredients for the next cabin booking spoiled.

Hotel was great otherwise & breakfast & dinner & the lounge burgers were all great!

Staff were amazing!!

Lovely helpful staff in a very characterful building!

Note that the spa is a short walk away, with an €25 charge.

Would highly recommend.

This is an incredibly nice hotel. The staff were kind and helpful, the room is very comfortable and clean, the food was good, and you get a discounted rate at a lovely spa a short walk away. My only complaint is that, as an American who lives in a country with a prison industrial system, I was hoping this prison-turned-hotel would be focused more on \"Isn't it wonderful our crime rate is so low in Finland that we close prisons rather than open more? Look how we reused the space to provide a comfortable space for travelers to sleep and a nice cafe where people can enjoy meals together\". The decor is lots of barbed wire and handcuffs attached to furniture and a giant mural of the prisoners in the restaurant. They make it nearly impossible to not think about the people who were once held there. I wish, much like the way a lot of old churches have been turned into secular community spaces, that this old prison felt more interested in a brighter future rather than clinging to a dark past.

What a unique place to stay! A boutique hotel built in the former County Prison atop the highest hill in Turku. It's such an interesting place. I should say first that I only awarded four stars because I happened to have a very small -- though nicely appointed and functional -- room. I'm sure I would have given the fifth star if a larger room had been available for me. (I should say that my bathroom was surprisingly large for a small room). The hilltop is so interesting. The best place to watch an 11 p.m. sunset in Turku in June. A short distance from the hotel is an even more imposing former prison -- now condos, restaurants, and a bar. It was an amazing area to explore, and although a little bit outside the center of town, the hilltop is actually closer to the castle, maritime museum, ferries, and riverwalk than places more central, all accessible via a fun, free funicular if you choose not to walk down the hill. Highly recommended.

Friendly staff, clean and well appointed rooms, excellent breakfast, walkable distance to the riverfront, safe beautiful surroundings. The old prison vibe was still there in a good way - not your usual cookie cutter hotel. I will most definitely come back!

Fantastic hotel with history and charm. Excellent breakfast. The spa was unique, relaxing, and the best I've been to. I recommend adding that on with the Ringing foot bath.

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.

Viihtyisä kova yhden hengen huone, joka tuntui kuin omalta pikku pesältä. Viereisestä huoneista ei kuulunut ääniä, mutta käytävältä kyllä. Sain vaihtaa huonetta toiseen kerrokseen, kun kolmannessa kerroksessa oli joka ilta jotkut juhlat. Huoneen kattolamput alkoivat valojen sammuttamisen jälkeen pitää outoa ääntä, mutta respasta sai seuraavaksi yöksi yölampun ja kehoituksen sammuttaa kattovalot jo hieman aiemmin, niin valojen poksuna ei häiritse yöunia. Lamput ilmeisesti olivat tulleet tiensä päähän. Sänky oli ihanan pehmeä ja huoneessa oli sopivan lämmin.

Spa var bra m olika pooler och en bar man kunde handla med smartness armband som registrerade köpen
