Amazing stay, very childfriendly with a play area! I wonder if we got an upgraded room cause the room was very big and came with a bathtub. They had taken everything about us as guests into account when making the room ready for us. We also had a chance to get late checkout, which was greatly appreciated.

Comfort with a friendly welcome
A rather unprepossessing entrance up an escalator leads to a comfortable hotel with extremely friendly and helpful desk staff.
Comfortable rooms, an excellent breakfast and only a very short walk to the central square

Its an ok average hotel, nothing fancy. Good price for families with small children.
Bit old and worn. Medioker breakfast. Elevators is kind of a hassle.

The hotel was hosting many families with small children when we visited and managed to provide prompt, attentive service despite the number of guests. The location was perfect for accessing the river walk and excellent restaurants.

Overall good experience. Clean, centrally located, easy access to the parking. Breakfast buffet good. Little issue with the parking payment as I was unable to pay at check out. Now the parking company will send the bill to the car rental company, which might charge additional charges for processing the parking ticket.

The hotel property as such is quite nice and appears recently renovated. Somewhat awkward placement of the lobby on the 2nd floor. Convenient parking. Good breakfast. Absolutely disgusting dinner buffet that was supposed to be street food themed but which was so bad we would not eat it.

We had a view towards wall in the third floor. Extra bed was too hard for an adult. The air conditioning was not cool enough because the blankets were very thick.

Reception staff saves a very basic hotel
Unwelcomming entrance. Boring hotel With very dull room interior worn down floors. Very basic toiletpaper more like thin sandpapper.
Basic dining facilitets With very basic standard of interior. Sterile room. Not cozy, no character, no soal. I slept. Thats it. Rather 3 star than 4.
Excellent personell though. Very friendly reception staff!

Hotellin aamiainen oli yli odotusten, jopa liikaa valinnanvaraa. Auton lataus onnistu, mutta Aimo Parkin hinnoittelu on kalleimmasta päästä, vuorokausi parkki 28eur ei myöskään halvimmasta päästä, mutta tärkeää on että paikkoja oli riittävästi. Hotellin sijainti hyvä lähellä joen ruokapaikkoja ja kauppatori oli hyvin lähellä. Mukava kokemus, kun menemme seuraavan kerran Turkuun taidamme valita Julian
