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.

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

    We stayed just 1 night in turku but the hostel had such a nice vibe, the people were kind and also the breakfast was really good. All that for a cheap price. Perfect!
