The rooms were spotless, room darkening shades were ideal (visited in July) the frisbee golf course on site was a nice touch, it gave us a nice outing close to the hostel. We would definitely return. Great price too

Friendly, inexpensive hostel with good working fac
This is the best hostel in Turku for those travelling with a car. The rooms are student bedrooms with good working facilities. There are clean kitchen and communal areas on each floor. Free parking, free use of the pool and inexpensive breakfast and lunch keep the cost very low. The staff are friendly and remember us, which makes us feel very welcome.

Excellent during covid
The staff couldn't have been more helpful. The covid arrangements were excellent. We were really safe... no-one else in the same kitchen and loads of room in the dining room. Lunch was excellent and only cost 8€!
It's a hostel not a hotel, but it's perfect for travel during covid. The food is excellent and the staff are friendly and helpful.

Good price-performance ratio, nice place
Good price-performance ratio. Well-maintained facility. Very friendly and helpful staff. The possibility to use the well-equipped communal kitchens was great. The house is about 4 km from the city centre of Turku, close by there are buses (public transport) e.g. to Kauppatori, the journey time is about 20 minutes.

The place is really nice with clean and spacious rooms. The only disadvantage is that it is a but far from turku center so took us a while to find our way there.

This hostel is a gem! The location was a little bit away from the city center, but I enjoyed the wooded neighborhood and it was an easy walk or bus ride away. The very clean kitchen & laundry facilities were really appreciated. I would stay here again.

Övernattat fler gånger, denna gång i hotellhuset mittemot receptionen, i källaren. Mysigt, men föredrar att bo i den andra delen. Eller iaf inte källaren.

Ei sisäilmaongelmista kärsiville
Huone vastasi standardiltaan kuvattua ja pedit olivat mukavat. Aamiainen oli parempi kuin odotukseni. Sen sijaan huoneessa haisi huonolta (homeiselta) ja kylpyhuoneessa vielä pahemmalta. En uskaltaisi suositella sisäilmaongelmista kärsiville

Hintalaatusuhde oli erittäin kohdallaan. Paikkaan oli myös oikein helppo löytää.
