JensGermanyHöchstens als Zwischenübernachtung beim Warten auf die Fähre akzeptabel
Gute Lage direkt am Marinemuseum und dicht an der Burg Turku
Sehr kleine Kabine, extrem enge Dusche, sehr geringe Auswahl beim Frühstück, Restaurant war geschlossen, Sauna zur „Energieeinsparung“ nicht in Betrieb,…
HiljaFinlandYöpyisin toistekkin
Aamiainen oli tosi hyvä, laivalta tultaessa hostellin sijainti kohdillaan yhden yön oleskeluun.
Hyteissä eehkä hieman tunkkaista.
LuukkonenFinlandHinta/laatusuhde kohdillaan.
Hyvä aamiainen. Hyvä sijainti sataman lähellä.
Hytin lattia oli hieman likainen.
BiritFinlandSijainti hyvä. Aamiainen oli hyvä. Nostalgia.
Hytin siisteys, etenkin kylpyhuone oli huonossa kunnossa.
JukkaFinlandKannatti kokeilla.
Kiva ja edullinen ja pysäköinti aivan vieressä. Kiva museaalinen kokemus. Aamiainen ok, suppeahko mutta majoituksen hintaan nähden ok.
Hytin vuode lienee aika alkuperäinen... Ei siis järin mukava.
sinikkaFinlandAamupala todella hyvä
Tunnelma on aina hyvä
WC epäsiisti
