Excellent hotel in Turku

Hotel Kakola is wonderful and unique. Previous prison has been renovated with good taste and quality. The prison theme has been used in good manner in decoration. Room was like new and clean. Bed was excellent. Room was silent and even the A/C was very quiet but worked perfectly. The only thing which could be better is parking hall where the slots are rather narrow for modern cars.

This is an incredibly nice hotel. The staff were kind and helpful, the room is very comfortable and clean, the food was good, and you get a discounted rate at a lovely spa a short walk away. My only complaint is that, as an American who lives in a country with a prison industrial system, I was hoping this prison-turned-hotel would be focused more on "Isn't it wonderful our crime rate is so low in Finland that we close prisons rather than open more? Look how we reused the space to provide a comfortable space for travelers to sleep and a nice cafe where people can enjoy meals together". The decor is lots of barbed wire and handcuffs attached to furniture and a giant mural of the prisoners in the restaurant. They make it nearly impossible to not think about the people who were once held there. I wish, much like the way a lot of old churches have been turned into secular community spaces, that this old prison felt more interested in a brighter future rather than clinging to a dark past.

What a unique place to stay! A boutique hotel built in the former County Prison atop the highest hill in Turku. It's such an interesting place. I should say first that I only awarded four stars because I happened to have a very small -- though nicely appointed and functional -- room. I'm sure I would have given the fifth star if a larger room had been available for me. (I should say that my bathroom was surprisingly large for a small room). The hilltop is so interesting. The best place to watch an 11 p.m. sunset in Turku in June. A short distance from the hotel is an even more imposing former prison -- now condos, restaurants, and a bar. It was an amazing area to explore, and although a little bit outside the center of town, the hilltop is actually closer to the castle, maritime museum, ferries, and riverwalk than places more central, all accessible via a fun, free funicular if you choose not to walk down the hill. Highly recommended.

Viihtyisä kova yhden hengen huone, joka tuntui kuin omalta pikku pesältä. Viereisestä huoneista ei kuulunut ääniä, mutta käytävältä kyllä. Sain vaihtaa huonetta toiseen kerrokseen, kun kolmannessa kerroksessa oli joka ilta jotkut juhlat. Huoneen kattolamput alkoivat valojen sammuttamisen jälkeen pitää outoa ääntä, mutta respasta sai seuraavaksi yöksi yölampun ja kehoituksen sammuttaa kattovalot jo hieman aiemmin, niin valojen poksuna ei häiritse yöunia. Lamput ilmeisesti olivat tulleet tiensä päähän. Sänky oli ihanan pehmeä ja huoneessa oli sopivan lämmin.
