Turku Hostels

I stayed here for one night April 30 - May 1st 2024. It was a last minute stay for Labor Day and I needed a hotel close to Market Square. I was very impressed with this hotel. It was reasonably priced, very quiet considering its location downtown, staff were kind and professional. My room was comfortable and clean. I liked this hotel so much, I am returning in a few weeks for a longer stay!

The beauty at the front desk saw me with a child and helped me upgrade the river view room for free. The stay was very pleasant and the breakfast was great. The hotel service is very good, the room is also good, always recommend.

We did a one night visit to turku on our way to waterpark. I chose this hotel so it would be most convinient to go out to city central in the evening and enjoy that a bit. For us it served the purpose very well.We could just walk and had pientä to see and do. Very good location and excellent breakfast

The hotel has beautiful, art deco style interiors and the lobby area has nice seating areas instead of just one large open hall. The room is spacious and the beds are super comfortable. The info about possible pillows could be more easily found. Delicious and varied breakfast with good options for special diets. The one big negative about a twin room is a transparent sliding glass door - especially a twin room that is possibly shared with friends should not have a door that offers zero privacy; there are large gaps and if the lights are on (especially at night when the room is dark and the bathroom has light on) you can see, hear and smell everything that happens in the bathroom. Note to reception; ask guests if they are comfortable with that level of intimacy before assigning a room, apparently there are rooms with traditional door - only learned that when we were leaving.

The rooms were very fresh and newly renovated. The location was perfect, as local as it can get. The check in and out was easy. The beds were very comfortable. We stayed on one of the most busy nights in Turku on a student event, and the hotel was fully booked- we thought it would be noisy at night but we did not hear any noises to our room. Extremely pleasant stay.

Omenahotelli at Humalistonkatu Turku. Based on ad, looked fairly modern and reasonably prised, about 100 euros per night. There is no reception, you get in with door code. Taxi almost didn’t find the place, but finally we got there. First thing we noticed, was a full beer can on the hallway floor. Some hotels do offer welcome drink, but I doubt this was the case here. When we got inside the room, first impression was like grandma had died, and relatives had tasked alcoholic 70-years old simple minded uncle to decorate it as cheaply as possible. Rom was fairly spacious, but for some weird reason they had built a some kind of wall in front of beds, so there really wasn’t much space to squeeze yourself into bed (luckily we’re not big, large person might not make it). Next to bed, on the floor, there were some papers and empty medicine box. I laughed aloud when I Saw the pillow – size of a stamp and lumpy as hell. There was supposed to be some kind of “kitchen corner” – it was a simple cabinet straight from seventies, with minibar (empty) and microwave oven. Next to it there was a table (from same time period) and chair (advertised as sofabed) that you couldn’t really sit on, but that you could theoretically use as a “sofachair”. I didn’t dare to try, and there wasn’t bedlinen anyway. Next to it, on the floor, there was a large stain – I wouldn’t dare to guess what. Whole room smelled unpleasant. Unfortunately, you couldn’t open windows. Bathroom was ok. Toilet paper was under the sink, bit difficult to reach, and there wasn’t any kind of shelf in the shower to hold soap. Peephole on a door had been stuffed with something orange. Luckily there was a door chain. It looked like that electrical wiring had been done by electrician who was fairly drunk. Room was filthy, dust everywhere and some sticky patches on floor and on the door etc. Bed wasn’t a catastrophe (except the pillow) – cheapest you can find at Ikea I guess. My son was bit worried, if we would dare to stay there, but since it was 2 am we really didn’t have a choice. I woke up around 7AM, heard someone talking at the next room. There is no soundproofing, you can hear clearly what neighbours are talking.

The room started flooding after a storm. Almost 1/4 of the room was covered in water. Coming from the ceiling of the roof. Had to change rooms at almost 3am. Manager’s answer: it’s an old building being renovated, it was a big storm. So much for a “luxury hotel”. I got refunded but was an awful experience. Needless to say I will not be returning.

Quickly settled, bathrobes in the room, everything is clean, hair dryer, breakfast is good. The receptionist issued an elastic bandage to bandage my hand, thank you, helped out !!! Dislocated on a hill on a cheesecake.
