Stayed here before. Well worth doing it again. A very nice, comfortable, clean room. Very central. Very affordable (making it affordable in difficult times is a really good thing).

We were almost mauled by a Belgian Malinois that was let loose on our level we were staying at. Messaged the property, however no response or acknowledgement of message/email. A very scary situation for tourists considering no pets are allowed on the property.

Lives there. Just didn’t care for this

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Great ferry trip from Stockholm through thousands of islands. Ferry from Stockholm to Helsinki is far less scenic, which is why I was in Turku. Frequent buses from Turku to nearby Naantali with lovely old buildings on the ocean.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

The areas nearer to the river are more pleasant to visit.
