Free access to Turkus best waterpark with nice slides and many saunas. You can also swim outside in the warmed pool during the winter. Excellent breakfast included in all room rates and also fast free wifi. Location however is not the best possible. You might need a car when you want to visit the city. More

We spent one day/night at this property in February. We came with the bus from Salutorget in the city centre. Very easy and convenient. And you can still pay with cash in the buses :-) The staff at the front desk was very friendly and accomodating. You can get a special wristband so that everything you order in the Hesburger... More

We spent a 2 days vacation in this hotel last autumn and can give following experiences from the landing in the ferry station in Turku. Take a city bus from the terminal to the city center and square then change to another bus to the University and end station at the hotel. The staff on the hotel is very alert... More

Went on a short one-night holiday with the family, with two kids under school age. The hotel is located just next to the Turku-Helsinki highway, which is convenient if you travel by car. There's plenty of parking space outside, though it'll cost you 4-8 euros per day. If you don't come by car, there are bus stops for local public... More

Not very close to the city center, but a nice chain hotel with almost no thrills or surprises. An old Holiday Club concept that offers you decent (and a bit outdated) spa facilities (especially for the kids) and surprisingly cheap minigolf just outside of the hotel. OK for a short stay in Turku. More

There are many swimming pools with massaging showers and waterfalls in the swimming pool section. There are also three waterslides which are 25, 80 and 117 meters long. These waterslides are suitable for adults and children over 8-9 years. There is also a very good kid's pool (32 cm deep, +35 degrees Celsius) with a very small waterslide for small... More

I stayed here for the Finnish preselection weekend for Eurovision 2011. The hotel is quite old. The building is unattractive and has inside many kitschy Caribbean style details. It's a business/family spa hotel with a recreation spa attached to the building. Location is good close to the city. You pay for parking. Paying is only possible at outside machines and... More

The spa area is lovely for kids who can swim, and, on the other hand, for toddlers/babies. The water in the kiddies pool is really warm! For kids who are just learning to swim, there is one problem though: there really is no pool in which they could safely practice swimming so that -if needed- their feet would always touch... More

This spa hotel has seen its best years. Rooms are quite small and worn, there's not enough light in the room and no WIFI (although wired internet is free, so bring your own WLAN base station). Inside the hotel there are couple of restaurants and a local hamburger chain place called Hesburger, which is actually also part of the spa... More
