Hotel berhampiran Paavo Nurmi Stadium, Turku

We stayed in Radisson Blu Marina Palace in Turku for just one night. As I expected, this Radisson Blu was very serviceable and efficiently designed. The location was optimal – right beside the popular Aura River where nearly all the important attractions lay beside. Our floor was decorated with Nordic film posters which was very interesting as a design theme. The room is made up in gray color, cloth, leather and wood finishes. We appreciated the wall to wall window which had a great view of the riverside. There were enough electric outlets for all our devices. We missed having a Nespresso-style machine but at least they offered a hot water kettle. Accent lighting was effective. Unusually, there were two large mirrors in the T&B. The two night tables and the coffee table were topped with granite (nice) while the work desk was in wood finish. Breakfast was also serviceable but nothing exceptional. One minus – the TV set would regularly turn off after about 30 minutes to an hour. That was puzzling.

We did a one night visit to turku on our way to waterpark. I chose this hotel so it would be most convinient to go out to city central in the evening and enjoy that a bit. For us it served the purpose very well.We could just walk and had pientä to see and do. Very good location and excellent breakfast

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.

I stayed here for one night April 30 - May 1st 2024. It was a last minute stay for Labor Day and I needed a hotel close to Market Square. I was very impressed with this hotel. It was reasonably priced, very quiet considering its location downtown, staff were kind and professional. My room was comfortable and clean. I liked this hotel so much, I am returning in a few weeks for a longer stay!

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.

Hotel bardzo dobrze zlokalizowany, blisko centrum. Obsługa w porządku. Łazienka niestety była okropna. Drzwi prysznica uszkodzone, ledwo „chodzące”, w uszczelnieniu brodzika dziura, dzięki czemu po dwóch kąpielach było bardzo mokro. Reszta na plus, pokój ok, wyposażenie również.

Reception kindness varies from great to low. If you ask for late check out you must ask from the friendly one…. Room are good if you know what you ask for… Spa is great I wonder why the door to/sea must close 30 hour before closing? You might get cold in your swimming suits outside knocking:)
