This city centre guesthouse is just 7 minutes’ walk from Kupitta Train Station and Turku University. Guests can enjoy free sauna access and free Wi-Fi internet connection.

The bright rooms at Tapulitalo have cable TV, bathrobes and shared bathroom facilities. A communal kitchen is also available for guests’ use.

A delightful place. The owner has thought of everything; it had all the necessary facilities and more, with lots of special touches. The bed was extremely comfortable, the wifi fast, and the entire place had a real charm. The owner was very helpful and kind. Highly recommended and great value.

Set a 10-minute drive from central Turku in connection with Linnasmäki college, Hostel Linnasmäki offers free parking and rooms with a work desk and free Wi-Fi access. Turku Art Museum is 4 km away.

A private bathroom with shower is standard in all rooms at Linnasmäki Hostel. Some rooms include a TV and a kitchenette with a stove, fridge and coffee maker.

The check-in process was very simple, there is a reception shared with the hotel. Every room has a booklet explaining all the features of the stay: the laundry, the kitchen, the gym, the wifi, the restaurant and so on. The room was very spacious offering two desks with chairs and two single beds and even a private bathroom. Everything was very clean. The view from my window was very nice, with green trees. The common kitchen and living room are spacious and have a lot of light. It was possible to cook there and use the fridge. I would totally recommend this hostel, not only for solo travelers and friends, but also for families. I had the impression that the is a lot to do in the nature in the surrounds of the hotel. For more "city-oriented" tourists there were buses to the city center not too far from the property.

Offering free WiFi throughout the property, Bella Hostel is situated in Turku, 600 metres from St Michael's Church and 800 metres from Kinopalatsi Movie Theater Complex, Turku. The property is around 1.6 km from Turku Cathedral, 1.4 km from Paavo Nurmi Stadium and 2.7 km from Turku Castle. The property is non-smoking and is set 400 metres from Turku Central Station.

The place was very good for me. I went to a concert held nearby, and it ended 22:30. I also had to very early bus on the next day. The hotel was close to both the concert location and the bus stop.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Breakfast was excellent and apartment was nice (especially bathroom). I also do remember a fire alarm that was being triggered the whole evening. Probably it means they really care about visitors safety that is good.

    Good budget hotel with great staff. Clean comfortable rooms. The hostel is close to the city center, but walking will be difficult. Guests have access to a sauna and a swimming pool.

    unique location and close parking facility, decent breakfast for a youth hostel and fast access to forum marinum. If you are looking for an adventure out of the ordinary and you don‘t need neither space nor comfort and if you have the weather to stay outside all day and just enter the room to spend the night, it can be a good choice.

    Great location for ferry terminal and port train station. Main station is further away. Lovely to be on the river itself in a hostel boat. Rooms and bathrooms are cramped but that's expected in cabins. No double bed but that's expected in a cabin. Excellent breakfast provided. Enjoyed the boat cafe and it's outside deck seating with river views. The free sauna each morning is super hot. Easy to explore Turku by walking along the river. Don't miss the Pharmacy Museum, the free city ferry and the free funicular.

    With some sportsmanship and a wish to get to know new people, perhaps this is a value for the money. Friendly host. Budget traveller from a far this is your choice. Sauna is there of course
