Hotels Near St Henry's Ecumenical Art Chappel in Turku

The beauty at the front desk saw me with a child and helped me upgrade the river view room for free. The stay was very pleasant and the breakfast was great. The hotel service is very good, the room is also good, always recommend.

The hotel has beautiful, art deco style interiors and the lobby area has nice seating areas instead of just one large open hall. The room is spacious and the beds are super comfortable. The info about possible pillows could be more easily found. Delicious and varied breakfast with good options for special diets. The one big negative about a twin room is a transparent sliding glass door - especially a twin room that is possibly shared with friends should not have a door that offers zero privacy; there are large gaps and if the lights are on (especially at night when the room is dark and the bathroom has light on) you can see, hear and smell everything that happens in the bathroom. Note to reception; ask guests if they are comfortable with that level of intimacy before assigning a room, apparently there are rooms with traditional door - only learned that when we were leaving.

Two nights stop over in Turku. Börs is legendary hotel and renovated nicely. We had a upper floor room and there was hardly any noice from the street. Market square is right next to the hotel and local bus stops are near. Great location to visit must see places in Turku like the church and Turku castle. Breakfast is amazing. The other side was closed due to private event so the breakfast hall was quite crowded, but it was worth it. You get to go a long way before you need any snacks after breakfast. They also have a roof top terrace bar, nice view over the city center. If you come by car, there is a spacious parking hall under market square with access to hotel. Strongly recommend this hotel while in Turku!

We stayed one night before our Viking Glory cruise which was departing early in the morning. There is a couple of minutes walk to bus 1 that takes you to the harbor. This time we made the booking with my partner's name because he will get the senior discount with the code SENIOR on the hotel's webpage. The price was just 115 euros for a Superior room. We booked a Superior Twin room because they are more spacious than Superior King rooms. However, the price is the same. We were lucky to get again the only Superior Twin room facing to the market place which is still in construction but no noise could be heard. The breakfast was pleasant with a very calm atmosphere at 6:45. The food selection was wide.

Child friendly with a playroom by the reception/breakfast room, and kids telly on there in the morning. We were on the first floor, which was the same as the sauna and gym which was good. The sauna was peaceful, and the gym well equipped. The breakfast was pretty basic, but fine, and not to crowded. Staff friendly and helpful. Very good location.

After staying at Hanaholmen near Helsinki- a similarly priced hotel with a thousand times more charm, a free sauna, and air conditioning- this place was a let down in most ways, but there are a few good things. Service was very nice and helpful. (E.g. they let me put leftovers from dinner in their fridge overnight to take the next day). Its location is good. Parking is €14 per day, which is not bad to make sure your car is safe. That said, there are only about 10 spots adjacent to the hotel. The first day we got a spot but the second we did not. I was told I could not park in the open area in front of the hotel but later saw all the cars had “Centro Hotel Parking” papers so I don’t understand why I couldn’t park there. There is another garage you can park in for the same price. Room was clean. Doors use old school keys rather than a key card. I only received one key for two guests. No big deal but it may affect you. The window only opens a little bit which is disappointing. There was a ceiling fan but at medium and high speeds ours squeaked terribly. With the curtain closed to block the endless summer light, little air could get in the room. Before bed I propped the door open to get a draft. The room stayed very warm at night as a result. Oh, and there was no box of tissues in the room! Strange. Bathroom is tiny but shower pressure is good. Walls are thin- I could hear the guest (probably a man) in the next room peeing in his toilet. Towels are fluffy and soft. Pillows are a little flat and mine was smaller than a standard American one! I asked for a second pillow for the second night and the one I got was actually bigger. Strange. Breakfast was good and filling. There were American-like cereals in addition to oatmeal, yoghurt, meats, cheeses, fruits, breads, jams, a few veggies, and a couple of small pastries. In short, the value for this place is questionable if it’s warm outside.

We stayed there for several nights and it totally exceeded our expectations. The location was excellent for us, especially with Kupittaa station being the stop for Turku. The hotel was fresh and bright, room was good, staff very friendly (as were all the locals we met), wifi was good, restaurant and food was good, so really no problems. Also had a good sauna, much better than the ones in the UK. Turku was also a nice city to visit. We really were not ready to return to the UK.

The hotel is very well located, close to the center. Service okay. The bathroom unfortunately was terrible. The shower door was damaged, barely ”walking”, there was a hole in the sealing of the shower tray, which made it very wet after two baths. The rest is a plus, room ok, equipment as well.

The room started flooding after a storm. Almost 1/4 of the room was covered in water. Coming from the ceiling of the roof. Had to change rooms at almost 3am. Manager’s answer: it’s an old building being renovated, it was a big storm. So much for a “luxury hotel”. I got refunded but was an awful experience. Needless to say I will not be returning.
