    Susanna is incredibly friendly, helpful and repkies all massegs very quickly. The stay was short but had good experience there, location for me was really good as I wanted to stay close to the Turku Univeristy and train station.

    Although I enjoyed my stay here, the common areas seemed a bit cold for me. Extra sweater would have come in handy. But the bedroom was cozy and warm.

    The guest house was lovely and exactly like in the pictures, bedroom was particularly beautiful. Each room in the building seems cozy, with thought out details everywhere. All the necessities were available.

    I would have appreciated dark curtains, the room was a bit too light for me. The arrangement with shared showerrooms separated only by a half-transparent plastic wall made me feel really unsafe and uncomfortable. I'm glad there was a ladies-only bathroom downstairs.

    Very comfortable bed, spacious room, and convenient location. Lots of small details that make the place feel cosy and friendly. Great shared kitchen, well organised and clean. Free coffee, tea and biscuits is a nice treat too.

    My colleague did not like his room, since it was closer to kitchen and he could hear all the words spoken. Walls are not so thick. Mine was on the other side of the building and I had no problems to sleep. Bed was cosy and there was two pillows to choose from.

    Breakfast is not included in the price. There was everything I needed for one night stay.

    The room was cold to my taste since the temperature dropped when I visited. Same thing for the shower water which O couldn’t manage to make it hot enough to my taste but I am sure that if you ask they’ll fix it for you, I didn’t since I stayed one night only.

    Very good accomodation and Susanna is very nice. The rooms, bathrooms and showers are decorated with care and are EXCEPTIONALY clean. The kitchen has everything you’d need for a short or long stay. The sauna can be heated if you want. Slippers, bathrobe and towels are provided. It is located fairly close to the center (20mins walk).

    Nothing. It was that good.

    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.

    Shame we couldn't manually set up the sauna. It activates automatically from 7 to 9pm, which coincides with our meal times. But we still enjoyed it.

    It was almost like coming home. Pleasantly arranged room, plenty of space. Common places were wide, comfy and clean. The small attentions all around the house were great additions. The sauna was great and the provided robes were a nice plus.. On top of that, the choice of 2 pillows? It is like a high end Hostel.

    I missed the possibility to rent or use bicycles or mountain bikes. The owner was about to offer these in the future :-)

    Owner was very friendly and hands-on: serving food, doing check-ins and checkouts. A very rich variety of breakfast served as a buffet. Both English (warm sausages, fried and boiled eggs, sausages etc.) and continental breakfast, one of the highlights of our stay. The second highlight is the traditional, simple Finnish sauna: It's hard to find a sauna with wood-heated oven nowadays in a hotel. Thirdly, the little harbor in front of the hotel offering day-cruisers and sailboats a place to have lunch or a dinner at the hotel restaurant. Also several Kayaks were offered free-of-charge for the hotel guest. The lunch and dinner were also great and there was a nicely chosen selection of wines offered. Definitely no need to elsewhere when the hunger gets you. Especially the traditional Finnish lax soap is worth trying!
