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.

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.

Historiallinen yökohde

Siisti ja mielenkiintoinen yöpymiskohde. Ainut valituksen aihe oli että ilmastointi olisi saanut tehdä kylmempää ja että kylmäkaappia ei huoneessa ollut.

Kokonaisuus oli pettymys, odotimme enemmän

Huone oli siisti ja sänky oli mukava. Huoneesta puuttui silitysrauta ja minibaari. Aamupala oli mielikuvitukseton, palvelu oli keskinkertaista. Pysäköinti todella huonosti järjestetty.

Suosittelen Hotelli Kakolaa

Huoneessa oli hyvä ilmastointi, se oli helteellä tärkeää. Aamiainen on hotellimatkalla tärkeä, ja se oli erinomainen. Esim makeat lajit oli jaettu tarpeeksi pieniksi paloiksi, joten hävikkiä ei syntynyt. Hotelli oli lisäksi siisti, ja henkilökunta ystävällistä.

Kokemisen arvoinen paikka.

Huone aivan ihana, siisti ja tilava sekä kaunis. Sänky ja tyynyt erinomaiset. Ei mitään huonoa sanottavaa, aamiainen oli runsas, monipuolinen ja erinomainen. Tämä paikka menee ehdottomasti jatkoon. Hotellin ympäristö myös tutustumisen arvoinen. Itselleni paras hotellikokemus mitä on ollut. Oikeastaan ainoa asia mitä jäin miettimään, niin henkilökunnalla oli jatkuvasti kovin kiire ja yrittivät kovasti selkeästi tehdä kaikkensa.. mietin, että onko henkilökuntaresurssi riittävä heidän työmäärään nähden.

Mahtavaa yöpyä lähellä Turku Challenge kisapaikkaa mukavassa ja hiljaisessa hotellissa! Aamupala oli oikein maittava ja se järjestyi kisaajillekin aikaistettuna. Kiitos, varmasti majoitutaan uudelleen, mikäli Turkuun matka käy kisan merkeissä tai muutenkin!

Eksoottisella paikalla uusi kokemus

Hyvä ja toimiva sekä eksoottisella paikalla olrva hotelli. Sisällä hotellissa hieman tummaa väritystä ja valaistuksen suhteen kaipaisi käytävilla kehittämistä. Huoneen ilmastoinnin hallitapaneeli löytyi vasta tosien päivän aamuna. TV:n asetusten hallinta suljettu pois, (suljettaessa TV herättää kovaäänisellä äänilogolla kanssamatkustajat)

Hotelli Kakola

Mielenkiintoinen ja upea hotelli. Laaja ja herkullinen aamupala. Kylpyamme oli kiva lisä. Ainoa miinus, että ilmastointilaitetta ei saanut säädettyä alle +20 asteen joka ei näillä helteillä ollut tarpeeksi viilentämään huoneen itselle mukavaksi. Mutta kaikki muu oli toimivaa ja tulemme kyllä ehdottomasti joskus uudelleen

Oli paras sänky missä ollaan hotelleissa nukuttu ikinä. Oli todella mahtava kokemus ja toisaalta outo hyvällä tavalla kun ajattelee ketä siellä on aikaisempina vuosina yöpynyt. Todella siisti hotelli, aamupala hyvä ja todella ystävällistä henkilökuntaa teillä. Kierroksesta erityis kiitos Anulle.

Mycket hög ljudnivå av bortplockning av disk. Sa till om musiken som då sänktes. Diskplocknings skrammel fortgick. Rummet hade fantastisk luft med AC samt säng och kuddar var super sköna!

Tyynyt aivan liian suuria. Huoneessa voisi olla jo valmiiksi matala tyyny jotta sitä ei tarvitsi erikseen pyytää. Tällä kertaa jäi pyytämättä ja se vaikutti kyllä yö uniin
