ホテル カコラ(Hotel Kakola)

Beautifully remodeled hotel in an old prison. clean, comfortable. Exceptionally helpful staff who helped us navigate Turku.

Lovely modern conversion from previous use as a prison. We had a balcony room which was large and very well appointed. We didn’t get to try breakfast as we were leaving on an early ferry but I’m sure it would have been as good as the rest of the hotel.

The hotel rooms are great, new, clean. Breakfast is very average. Dinner was horrible. Really bad food and service. The dinner card had just 2 main dishes, started, Toast Skage, camevafter on minute. The toast was cold and totally burnt. Disgusting for a 15eur starter. Burger was too salty. Coffee was undrinkable. Sorry, i dont know how this hotel gets its high rating.

Very nice hotel but absolutely terrible pillows. They were like garbage bags filled with air. Impossible to get comfortable. This is such a shame as everything else was totally fine.

I've stayed in a dozen hotels across Finland while working this year and this one was my favorite. The beds and pillows were amazing and the cages in the family room made for a fantastic touch. The restaurant was delightful and our waiter treated our kiddo like an adult instead of an inconvenience which we found in other places. I was also able to work quietly without interruptions. Great location if you want to stroll to the Castle then back along the river. Would stay here again the next time I'm in Turku!

Unique building and rooms. Breakfast is not what I expect, not bad, but small assortment.

Very comfortable hotel, if a little bit hard to find on foot.

The room and the hotel were fantastic. Extra points for possibly the best bed and pillows that I have slept in. Few minus points: When you enter the room when it is dark, it is very difficult to spot the card holder for turning on the electricity. There should be an entrance light that should turn on automatically as you open the door. During breakfast there were many things that had just run out at the same time. The cucumber bowl was near empty, coffee milk jar was empty, the orange juice had just run out... many coincidenses at the same time. But everything was fresh and very tasty.

Great stay in Kakola, good value for money when compared to the larger chains located in the city center. New, clean and well designed rooms. Nice breakfast. On the downside the "dark" restaurant and the location when coming to visit the city by foot (in bad weather). But can be recommended when priced at sub 100€
