Turku hotels near Museum of Pharmacy and Qwensel House

Pros: This is a hotel for guests who look for something with personality. It's a small, friendly hotel in a charming, old-fashioned way, ideal for those who are tired of sterile hotels that all look and feel the same. The staff is friendly and helpful, and all we talked to spoke good or very good English. The breakfast buffet is rather small, but it's tasty and a nice blend of international and local stuff. While we didn't have time to explore Turku as much as we would've liked, the location felt central. This is a hotel we would like to stay in again.

Cons: There isn't much to complain about. Either you like the style or you don't. The TV has mostly Finnish channels, so if you plan to watch the usual hotel selection of cable channels, you'll be disappointed.

Pros: I liked the location and the friendly service. The room was also unique in terms of its decoration (some would call it quirky!). My room was spacious and clean.

Cons: It was a little cold in the breakfast room, as it is located near the entrance. I would prefer espresso-based coffee in the morning instead of filter coffee - this is of course a personal preference. There were not many electric sockets near the bed.

Pros: Beautiful authentic Finnish style.

Pros: Warm and cozy atmosphere, staff very friendly and helpful

Cons: The 20 sq metre room was so crammed with furniture we had almost no room for our luggage and could only mive around one at a time.

Pros: Very comfortable hotel in the centre of Turku but sill on a quiet place. The interior has on old fashion style which I liked generally. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. The receptionists at check-in and check-out were very friendly.

Cons: There was a bit too much decoration in the room and in the hotel. On the breakfast none of the stuff greeted or took visual contact on me altough I was having breakfast closely for an hour.

Pros: If you like this sort of thing, the hotel was very, I don't know, "cozy"? Every wall is covered with pictures, photos, graduation certificates, and various other Finnish memorabilia. It's interesting for a foreigner to look at it all, and I assume generates of lot of nostalgia ("Remember gran used to have that same picture?") among the Finnish guests.

Cons: A truly astonishingly horrible WiFi experience. EVERY WiFi connection is a one per device. To connect each device you are given a tiny scrap of paper on which are printed, in low quality ink using minuscule low contrast fonts, a set of random characters for the both the user and the password. Good luck trying to decipher these, and you'll have to do it three separate times for your iPhone, iPad, and laptop!

Cons: Why should I pay additional for baby crib? It should be free like in other hotels.

Pros: the breakfast is absolutely gorgeous, the staffs are very friendly and supportive, location is very easy from Turku station. this is real "Authentic" hotel i have ever stayed !!! perfect !

Cons: none. everything was perfect.

Pros: Nice small hotel at a good location very close to the city center; there is public transportation available close by;

Cons: There was no way to warm up a little bit more the room temperature for my liking; it was about 20C and could not get above with the small heater available in the room.

Pros: Location and breakfast

Cons: Pillows were very thin. Bed was not very comfortable

Pros: Central quiet location with parking

Pros: Nice breakfast selection, quick chek-in&out, flexible with changing reservation.

Cons: Parking is very tight. Room feels a bit outdated.

Pros: Location Shower Comfortable Breakfast Reception open 24 hours

Cons: No coffee tray in the room but we managed to get a kettle from reception.

Pros: Very clean and tidy, comfortable beds.

Cons: TV was very outdated.

Pros: The location was central and the buffet breakfast was really excellent followed by proseco at the end. The room was comfortable and very clean and a good supply of fresh towels every day.

Cons: Improve the dinner buffet by adding other different items and some hot items. A rich buffet with different cold and hot otems.

Pros: Location in Turku city center.

Pros: Bathroom was large, there was a shoe polisher in the hallway

Cons: Bed was too hard, shampoo dispenser empty, one coffee cup was unwashed, lighting was too cold.

Pros: Great stay! Biggest plus was the super friendly and helpful staff

Pros: Nice hotel at a good price

Cons: All was good

Cons: Room wasn't very clean and had a funny smell, like the cleaner only spend 2 mins. Mould in sink overflow, floor and toliet dirty.

Pros: Just fine!

Cons: Well, staying wise It was very satisfactory . But the pleasantness was gone When they said we could NOT get any Scandic Friends award points.

Pros: The breakfast was very good. The location of the hotel is excellent. The room was good for the purpose of spending one short night there.

Cons: The front disk was slow, which is very common at hotels. Car park connected to the hotel was quite expensive.

Pros: Great location, good breakfast

Cons: Outworn place, requires some renovation soon

Pros: Location is good, very center of city. Breakfast good, lot of choices. Staff is friendly. We feel cold in the evening and asked more blanket, they brought to us.

Cons: If they can provide tea boiler/kettle in the room, that would be convenient for guests, especially in winter time.

Pros: It was as advertised

Pros: The location was really nice, surrounded by lots of shops. We arrived at 7 am in the morning and were greeted warmly by reception staff. We had an extra breakfast with the guest's price and stored our luggage. I strongly recommend this accommodation to everyone.

Pros: I have no any negative point to mention. Everything was definitely good.

Pros: We’ve had our share of those holidays with champgne and bath bubbles for two but now that we are travelling with a small baby, we look for easy access, comfortable rooms and baby-friendly staff. And that’s what we found in Scandic Plaza. Everything worked as it was supposed to and the staff made us feel warmly welcome.

Pros: Great breakfast and location

Cons: Another company using their own crazy WiFi access control scheme! God knows what they're doing, but everything on my devices that was capable of complaining about man-in-the-middle attacks was firing wildly! So they're definitely TRYING to rewrite packets. Why??? I assume this boils down to massive incompetence rather than actual nefariousness, but it certainly doesn't give one confidence.

Cons: Room old and dirty

Pros: Very good breakfast with enough variety to choose from. Although in the Center of Turku I experienced it to be very quiet. Friendly and helpful staff

Cons: The shower could have been a little bit more spacious.

Pros: Amazing swimming & conference. Easy to park. Restaurants are not so great.

Cons: All good!

Pros: Wonderful breakfast with lots of choices. The spa facilities were great, especially if you're traveling with children. The location isn't right in the centre of town, but there are regular buses right from the hotel many times an hour, and the spa complex offers multiple places to eat so you don't have to leave if you don't want to. There is a 24h kiosk in the lobby as well as a few small grocery stores within walking distance. In addition to bathing, we enjoyed the Superpark adventure park. The park is targeted at older children and adults, but there was plenty to do for my two-year-old also. There is a small play area by the spa entrance. You can play miniature golf at the hotel in the summer months. We didn't try any spa treatments, but it looked like there was a nice selection available.

Cons: The room could have been cleaner. One of the complimentary hot chocolate packages had been ripped open and one of the cups was dirty, and my toddler found a piece of candy on the floor that the cleaners had missed. Overall the spa looks a bit worn and dated, but this didn't really bother us. You should bring your own toiletries because the room only has a shampoo/shower gel combo, no conditioner, moisturiser, etc. The hotel also had a rubber ducky in the room, but it cost 10 e to buy. Many hotels with bathtubs have one of those that you can use when you're staying. It would have been nice if my kid could have played with the rubber ducky and left it at the hotel because I didn't actually want to buy yet another one. Maybe remove them altogether and just sell them at reception if you want to charge for them? Like most places like this, things tend to get a bit restless at night, so you might encounter a few drunk people if you go swimming with your kids after six p.m., just a heads-up to parents.

Pros: SPA is good

Cons: Free slippers would be nice

Pros: Friendly staff. Reception open 24 hours.

Cons: At breakfest no bags with standard black tea???????? Only green tea and vanila tea..... Standard entrance to swimming pool should be included in room rate.

Pros: They way the receptionist has handle our room , especially with 3 children:)

Cons: To small details that should not be mentioned:)

Pros: Nice Hotel with good SPA area and several Restaurants/Bars in same building. close to inner city.

Pros: Location maybe

Cons: Bathroom had no lock, beds were really uncomfortable and out of the 4 beds, 2 had no blankets nor wraps.

Cons: The beds were super uncomfortable, some metal bar was hurting my ribs and it was impossible to sleep! It's not possible to open the window and the ventilation is not good enough, especially for four people. If something is wrong in your room - the only way to try to solve it is the PAID phone number, but they just hang up on me. The room was not clean.

Pros: The stay was very pleasant. The room offered a lot of space and was very well equipped. The location was central.

Pros: I liked the fact that there was a small dining table with a comfortable sitting place in the room, also liked the fact that there were 3 locked doors. For security it would be better to have 3 separate PINs, one for each door.

Cons: Although the place is locked, it is empty, and there is no entrance area or lobby, no reception, so it just looks like an entrance to a standard apartment building. It would feel better, to increase the perception of security, if some one is actually there, maybe not in the form of a full reception, but as a security officer or someone to talk to promptly in case of some issues. Support over the phone (that could be out-sourced, who knows, maybe even at another continent) is not the same.

Pros: The location is very good, it is possible to park the car on the street. It the room there is an electric pot, microwave oven, small fridge. The system of this hotel is very comfortable.

Cons: The room was not clean. Everything in the room was old and used a lot. There were 4 of us in the order, but there were only 2 blankets, 2 pillowcases (we had to cover the pillows with towels). And there were only 3 towels. It is obviously that this hotel is a budget variant, but it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have to be comfortable!

Pros: Comfortable Beds Location Check in - Check out procedure.
