We really loved this hotel. The "jailhouse" vibe was cool and we enjoyed the history presented along with it. The kakola neighborhood is beautiful and worth exploring. The hotel staff were very helpful and kind.

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!

Nice hotel, little bit off the town. Room was nice though understandably quite little due previous use. Slept well, breakfast was just like on any other hotel, except no cappuccino. Strong recommendation for nearby Restaurant Kakolanruusu rather than hotel restaurant!

Over all nice hotel but the worst hotel mattress i ever slept.

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.

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.

Huone siisti, rauhallinen, laadukas. Henkilökunta huippua, ystävällistä palvelua joka kohdassa. Hinta -laatusuhde todella hyvä. Tyylillä tehty vankilasta huippuhotelli. Sijainti hienosti kaiken yläpuolella ja kuitenkin lähellä Aurajoen hienoja kävelyreittejä jne.

Upeat puitteet pienelle irti otolle arjen keskellä. Hotelli oli hieno ja rakennuksen mielenkiintoinen historia oli tuotu erinomaisesti esille sisustuksessa. Huoneessa yöpyessä tuli miettineeksi, että millaisia vankeja onkaan samassa ”sellissä” maannut :) Huone oli viihtyisä ja todella siisti. Plussaa kahvikone ja hiilihapotuslaite (kahvikonetta tuli käytettyä). Aamiainen oli runsas ja herkullinen. Henkilökunta ystävällistä. Tänne tulen ehdottomasti uudestaan!
