Dated rooms, poor breakfast, loud street, no sleep

Awful, awful hotel. Rude staff, services didn't work on room TV. Can't get it fixed. Dated rooms, leaky shower, horrible beds and pillows especially. We were unable to sleep for all 5 nights! Over 200 euros a night and no sleep, we will never return to this hotel. No air con so have to keep windows open but there are drunk people outside screaming through the night, also hotel chose not to inform guests that building works with heavy machine start at 7.30am outside windows! Breakfast is poor, no real bacon, unwashed lettuce with horrible black stuff on most mornings. There are way better options in town now, avoid this hotel!

Could be cleaner

I have stayed at this location several times in the past. Although it still needs to be refurbished, we were very disappointed in the cleanliness of our room after we checked in. As an example, glasses weren't clean and had small pieces of paper stuck to them and small pieces of paper were on the floor throughout the room.
The breakfast was the standard Scandic breakfast and service was friendly as well.

OK stay the city centre

I was transferred from another hotel operating under the same brand and the stay was somewhat underwhelming. The staff was friendly, but hotel’s public spaces are worn and the decor is out of date. The view from my room was to a garage. The breakfast was rather scaled back due to COVID with only few guests at the venue, but some things ran out before the end of service. OK for short business trips, but not for any kind of romantic getaways or staycations.

Overgrowded breakfast and trough service

The hotel had a great location, right at the downtown, but the service was poor: a person in the reception didn't bother to smile and I felt like she being too busy to answer my questions. I tried to ask about saunas and gym and she was just telling that I find the info in the booklet at the room and hurried me to continue from her desk. I felt like being on her way when she was here to serve some more important customers. The most horrible experience ever was the breakfast: I went there with the kids 1,5 hours before closing, to avoid the rush. But the lines were horrible, there was no empty table left, we had to wait the meal like in some lousy gas station, the people just standing with their plates as there was no place to sit. When we finally found a table it wasn't in the restaurant area but in the lobby. The people were standing back and forth all the time. Almost all the food from the breakfast table was gone before we got there and every object we had to wait quite a long time. I didn't feel like spending a peaceful holiday morning with a nice breakfast. Instead my kids got sad as not having the same things the people next to us were eating, I got mad as had to wait over 20min to have a cop of coffee and I really felt like the hotel breakfast was over booked considering its premises. Expecially in these corona times it really felt unsecure and stupid; and not even nice and peaceful what should be the main point in hotel breakfasts.

Great location and friendly hotel

The location of the hotel was amazing. Close to the major shopping, the city square, the river and the nightlife. The hotel service was very helpful, polite, willing to help and curious to foreigners. The room faced a tree lined street which gave it a nice calm feel. The bed was very comfortable and the restaurant food was good. The bathrooms could be modernized and the restaurant service was a bit confusing. The breakfast selection was typical Finnish style but some other Finnish restaurants offered a few more options. Overall, it was a good stay and recommended for visiting Turku.

I went for a rave, this hotel gets a rave review.

I went to Turku to see the awesome DJ Proteus. This hotel was perfectly located 2 minutes walk from the Club, \"Klubbi\", and a short walk from the other sites I saw such as the cathedral and museums.

The staff were always friendly, accomodating and professional. They helped me frequently with finding things around town and with my travel. The breakfast buffet was fantastic - no cold leftovers if you arrived an hour after the start, everything fresh.

Room was very comfortable and well maintained. Plenty of space to relax in. Great bathroom for post-rave cleansing.

Would definitely recommend this hotel to my mates.

A nice, reasonably-priced hotel, friendly and helpful staff and a central location.

Just two small problems: whoever made up the room had tried to use two single sheets to cover a larger sized bed, and keeping the window open at night meant I was listening to drunken shouts and what passed for singing, late into the night.

Ei ihan mennyt putkeen. Plussaa siitä, että saamme huoneen n.tunti ennen virallista luovutusaikaa (vaikkakin olin tästä jo kaksi kertaa soittanut ja todettu, että usein saa), mutta: etukäteen selkeästi kahden erillisen vuoteen huoneessa olivat sängyt yhdessä siten, että niitä ei saanut erilleen. Emme ole pariskunta, joten halusimme varaamamme twin-huoneen. Henkilökunnan selitykset ontuivat pahasti. Että muka aina ovat erilliset mutta yhdessä? Missään hotellissa en ole törmännyt vastaavaan, ja olen sentään yöpynyt sadoissa ympäri maailmaa. Joskus ne saa vedettyä erilleen, mutta tuossa ei. Lopulta jonkin aikaa odotettuamme saatiin siivottua huone, jossa ovat erillään. Koska oli kiire, majoituimme siihen, mutta: toiselle sängylle ei ollut yöpöytää. No onneksi ikkunalauta sentään. Lattia oli hyvin kulunut, vessassa jatkuva kosteus, pisaroita myös aamulla vaikka illalla käyty (suihkun hana tippui ja laattojen välissä jotain harmaata, hometta?), vessanpönttö heilui hieman sille istuttaessa. Patja oli sänkyä isompi, onneksi ei pudonnut. Tällaista kaikkea voi olla, mutta ei kyllä tämän hintatason (yli 200e) hotellissa pitäisi olla. Aamiainen oli runsas ja ok, mutta pöytiä ei tunnuttu siivoavan lainkaan, itse piti vapaan pöydän löytääkseen raivata se puhtaaksi.

Vastaanotto oli ok (jos ei huomioi tupakan savua vaatteissa).
Huone oli puhdas, maisema kiva mutta joko huoneessa on ollut eläimiä tai siellä on sisäilmaongelma, allergialääkkeet joutui hakemaan apteekista jo puolen tunnin huoneessa olon jälkeen. Tämän lisäksi huoneessa oli kuuma eikä ilmastointia saanut pienemmälle. Jouduimme nukkumaan ikkuna auki ja alhaalta tuleva melu (lauantai-ilta) kuului ylös hyvin.
Tämän lisäksi jossain lähistöllä olevassa huoneessa (viereisessä?) oli koira, joka haukkui yhtä soittoa kun omistajat eivät olleet huoneessa. Kuulimme sen jo iltapäivällä lauantaina ja heräsimme siihen sunnuntaina.

Aamiainen oli runsas ja monipuolinen, siitä toinen tähti!

Se että huoneeseen pääsee vasta klo 16 ei ole hyvä ja sitä kannattaisi muuttaa aikaisemmaksi.

Ei ole hintansa väärti

Huoneessa ei ollut ilmastointia, vaan jäähdytyspaneeli ja se ei kyllä viilentänyt huonetta lämpimällä säällä vaikka oli säädetty minimiin (20 astetta). Piti nukkua ikkuna auki ja kadun melun takia ei saatu kunnolla nukuttua.

Aamiaisalue on aika pieni ja viereinen kokoustila(?), joka oli valjastettu pöytätilaksi, oli aika hiostava ja täynnä. Terassin puolelle sai onneksi mennä syömään, siellä oli väljää ja parempi ilma.
