    The guest should dress up, by himself, the beds with sheet package. The mattress is some kind of foam.

    Free sauna and pool. Friendly service.

    The property is in the university dorm, so it's a bit strange setting. I know Nordic countries are expensive, but this was very expensive for a room with 4 beds, but such basic amenities. You have to put your linen on and the take off when leaving, take trash out, etc. Again, it's common practice in Nordics, but for this price one would expect a bit more. Breakfast had quite poor choices. There were no mosquito nets.

    It was clean. Spacious toilet & shower.

    No AC during a hot summer doesn't make the stay very pleasant. A fan was available, but only a small one, not enough for the whole room.

    Just the beds were little too high for my likind and the sheets were little uncomfortable bc when was hot and little sweatin so the sheets got stuck to you and could move comfortably and the ventilation could be better. It was too hot to sleep and the one fan wasnt any helpful even at the maximun speed.

    The staff was so nice. Also the location was good. Room was very clean and view was great. Got really good sleep even tho was very hot. And shower/bathroom was exceptional. When got time and vacation and if I come to Turku again this place Im gonna come again.

    A little bit limited choice for breakfast

    It's a bit outside of the city but the location is great: in the forest, it's so green, peaceful and quiet. Room standard was nice, there was also shared kitchen available. Also, there's a pool and sauna but we didn't manage to use them before it was closed. I could stay there again :)

    Good stay, mostly everything that you need, doesn’t get boring

    I unfortunately haven’t noticed before but the sauna and pool is only to be used separately for men and women (wanted to go there with my partner) and it costs extra (I believe 10€ for 1.5h if you go there separately and if we would have wanted to go together we had to ‚rent‘ the place for 30€ 1.5h). In most hostels in Turku the sauna was included from what I‘ve heard and we even found some public ones that only costed 10€ for a day ticket. The location is okayish for the price I‘d say. There are buses around and bikes that take you to the citycenter in about 15 or more minutes.

    The place is very clean. You got the kitchen with everything necessary. The staff is very friendly, organizing new towels and bedding during a longer stay. The strengthtraining gym is free to use. It doesn’t look the most comforting but you got everything you could ask for. Big bonus for me was a sports hall that you could use and sports equipment that you could borrow inside for free. I was playing basketball there a lot which is incredible to have access to in a hostel. All around the hostel there are some small things to do like playing table tennis or darts for free. The breakfast was alright, could‘ve been a bit cheaper than 9€. We haven’t used much.

    - it was hard to open the room with the key, so we had to play a little bit with it before we figured out how to make it - the room looked nice, but it was rather small

    - pretty, green and quiet neighbourhood - helpful staff - nice wooden swings in front of the entrance to the hostel

    The bed was way too soft and hurt our backs. The wi-fi was not working well.

    The receptionist that greeted us was prompt and friendly. There is a kitchen we could use to heat up the food, There is plenty of carpark that is free so that was great. The area is quiet and there is a K-market that is within walking distance.
