Best Hotels near University of Turku, Turku

Hotell is located at very good place. Hotel has extremely good brekfast service. Hotel employees was very nice and easy to talk to. I was on a trip with my girlfried celebrating our engagement. Both of us war very happy about the Hotel service.

Trip.com service was really poor. This was self service hotel. Tou share only my name to the hotel so hotel could not contact to me and send access code and room number. It takes log of time from me to clear your mistake. I have never used so poorlu organized hotel reservation system like trip.com

Inexpensive and good location

We stayed one night in Turku at Scandic Atrium. We chose this hotel since it had a pool and was at a good location near city center. When arriving we found at that the parking available wasnt free (13€ for 24h so not too bad), there was a 20min queue to the reception (seemed to be that way all night whenever we wanted to ask something we decided we can survive without). We were travelling with a toddler and had mentioned that when booking, still the bed in the room was a single bed definitely not suitable for a toddler (would have fallen off), but luckily we brought our own travel bed so solved the situation with that. We would have contacted the reception but as mentioned before, the long waiting time was not an option with an increasingly impatient toddler. We had a nice dinner, went down to the pool only to discover that there was only one dressing room for men and women, which was reserved for women 17-19, and men 19.30-22, when they had their sauna turns. Not so fun for a travelling family to have to send the man upstairs to shower in the room instead of being able to do it downstairs by the pool. The ladder to the pool was really tricky to use and an elderly lady we met said she barely got up from there and called the ladder ”for sporty people only”. Anyways, we got a nice swim in the deep pool with some folks doing water aerobics at the same time and enjoyed a short sauna visit afterwards. Then we headed to the room for some much needed rest, only to discover that there was no air-conditioning in the room. With temperatures being +25 outside, the room was sooo warm, so we all had a hard time sleeping. Safe to say we were happy when morning came and we got to enjoy the lovely standardized breakfast. After that we wanted to check out the children's play area near our room, but the doors were closed with no information regarding opening hours. I've spent many nights at Scandic Kuopio and compared to that this was just not as nice. Summa summarum - not the worst hotel stay but could also definitely have been a lot better.

The hotel has beautiful, art deco style interiors and the lobby area has nice seating areas instead of just one large open hall. The room is spacious and the beds are super comfortable. The info about possible pillows could be more easily found. Delicious and varied breakfast with good options for special diets. The one big negative about a twin room is a transparent sliding glass door - especially a twin room that is possibly shared with friends should not have a door that offers zero privacy; there are large gaps and if the lights are on (especially at night when the room is dark and the bathroom has light on) you can see, hear and smell everything that happens in the bathroom. Note to reception; ask guests if they are comfortable with that level of intimacy before assigning a room, apparently there are rooms with traditional door - only learned that when we were leaving.

On a freezing cold and windy April day at Ruissalo we called at the Spa hotel for a warm meal while waiting for bus transportation. The restaurant was offering a buffet lunch with hot soup and we thought it was ideal for the occasion. However the staff were most objectionable when we asked for a table and in spite of there being an abundance of empty seats we were refused entry on the basis of only groups should be admitted. When asked for their definition of group - there were four in our party - we were ushered to the cafe counter where the only offerings were underwhelming and overpriced bread rolls and weak coffee. I have not experienced such service and would not recommend anyone to patronise the restaurant.
