“Poor sister of the Hamburger Bors hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

This is the "affordable alternative" of the famous and more fancy Hamburger Bors hotel at the other side of the street, in the very heart of Turku. Clean but very basic modernly furnished rooms, no service, not even a tea bag in the room available unless you order well in advance and pay for it separately. We had booked a double but found that the bed was hardly wide enough for two normal sized ;) people. The unmanned entrance directly from the street with an access card might not feel very safe for people traveling alone and having to come in late at night, especially weekends when the nightlife at the adjacent market square can be rather "lively".

“Employees from Sokos department store use the same entrance as guests”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

The hotel is unmanned and you check in at the Sokos across the street. Access to floors is via your key card but employees from the Sokos department store also use the same entrance so people are always going in and out. For this reason it seemed a little less safe and next time I would probably stay in the Sokos across the street. Guests get discounts at the Sokos department store. Breakfast is included and was very good.

“Only use the room for sleeping...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2011

This hotel is in the very centre of Turku. It is not manned, and you check in at its sister hotel Sokos Hamburger Börs just across the street.

The rooms are ok - it was clean, the bathroom & shower was ok, the bed was comfortable, but don't expect to stay in your room too much, as it's pretty boring. But for the price I'd say it's ok. Breakfast (also served across the street at Hamburger Börs) is included, and was plentiful and nice.

“Good for a night”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2010

We had taken the day ferry to Turku from Stockholm and needed somewhere not too expensive to stay for a night before heading to Helsinki. This hotel was good for our purposes. We loved the fittings in the room - modern and clean. The hotel was also centrally located: great for a walk around the city centre and easy to get to the Turku Castle and the train station for our onward Helsinki leg.

Downsides were that it was noisy on the top floor, as another Tripadvisor member had pointed out, and it rained heavily non-stop, which meant we got wet getting from the reception area for check-in, to our building, likewise, for breakfast and when we checked out. Our raincoats certainly came in handy!

For breakfast, we saw notices in the lift warning guests to go early to avoid queues, but we woke up late and were surprised that there were no queues. For free internet use, we were loaned a key to the business centre for free use of the computer and internet.
