The check-in process was very simple, there is a reception shared with the hotel. Every room has a booklet explaining all the features of the stay: the laundry, the kitchen, the gym, the wifi, the restaurant and so on. The room was very spacious offering two desks with chairs and two single beds and even a private bathroom. Everything was very clean. The view from my window was very nice, with green trees. The common kitchen and living room are spacious and have a lot of light. It was possible to cook there and use the fridge. I would totally recommend this hostel, not only for solo travelers and friends, but also for families. I had the impression that the is a lot to do in the nature in the surrounds of the hotel. For more "city-oriented" tourists there were buses to the city center not too far from the property.

Nothing, I really enjoyed the stay.

It was a very nice accommodation. It was clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was the first time in a hostel but I didn’t mind making the bed. It saved us a lot of money. There seemed am to be some kind of Christian education in the facilities but it didn’t bother us at all.

Breakfast was not included so we payed 8 Euros extra per person. What a mistake. Breakfast consisted of a sandwich, ”kvarg”, porridge, some kind of fruit drink and coffee or tea. No hot meat or something standard. Too expensive for that small selection.

We hadn't stayed in a facility like this before. When we entered the room the cleanliness was very obvious. We loved that we had to dress the beds ourselves, giving us further assurance of the level of hygiene. The beds were very comfortable and we had a great night's sleep. We made use of the kitchen facilities, which were more than adequate for our needs.

Nothing. Everything was great. The location might be a bit challenging without a car if you need to visit the city, but everything is very straightforward if you do have a car.

Awesome location in nature with nice walking routes in the forest. The city is pretty close, about 10-15 min of biking. However, it doesn't feel like you're directly next to the city with all the silence around (Finland is very spacious). The staff was very helpful at the check-in, I was lucky that I could join the dinner when I arrived (take note however, Linnasmäki only has dinner when it has been ordered for a group). If I needed something, I could always ask the person at the reception area. The sauna and pool were pretty nice and clean, nice extras to have. All around VERY good value for what I've paid (about €30 per night + €8 for breakfast per day). A little note for those wanting to go to Turku at the end of May- begin June, my experience was that the hostel was pretty quiet. Not a lot of people around, if you get lucky you might speak a local (in my case a Swedish speaking Finn). Most activities such as festivals, group activities and the like seemed to start from the first or second week of June (Summer starts like half way June-begin July). If you're not really into talking with people, you could pretty much avoid a lot of chit-chat. When you get in your room, you're on your own and away from everything else. If you're extroverted (talking from a Dutch point of view), brace yourself for solitude. You really have to be able to entertain yourself on your own. It might be different during Summer, when people from Sweden and other countries get here to celebrate their holidays.

If you're staying for more than a week, I'm not quite sure whether your room will be cleaned. I stayed for 7 days and I saw a layer of dust on the desk after a couple of days. I would've liked more clarity about this, but it's not really a deal breaker to be honest. My room, including the bathroom, were very clean. Besides that, I thought the toilet seat was a bit weird looking (brown-ish, as if someone tried to burn it). The room felt warm, but not too warm. You can't open any windows and they look like they are well-isolated. I think the room might get uncomfortably warm when it's 30 C° outside.

Quiet area surrounded with pine trees. Forest view was relaxing. I loved the recently renovated room with all the things I needed: a desk and a chair for remote working, excellent bed, large tv, spacious shower, lots of options at breakfast. I liked the all the lights options at room. Nice and friendly staff. Library was open. Free parking. Elevator helped getting stuff into room.

The room is spacious and very clean. The hotel is located in a place with a lot of trees, it’s very relaxing to have a morning walk around. The bathroom is spacious and clean also. The facilities is good for a budget price.

Checkout time(10am) is a bit earlier than other hotels. Clean bedsheet, duvet cover, pillow covers are provided but you have to make your bed. The location is a bit far from the city center and it’s took about 30 minutes to wait for a bus.

It was clean and fairly spacious. The staff was very helpful. It's on the edge of the green zone and had the window adjoining that view.

The location although scenic was a bit further away from the center. Going to the center takes about 20-30 mins by public transport. The breakfast although filling was a bit less varied.

The hostel was located couple of kilometers out from the city center at a Christian academy campus and conference premises. Plenty of parking space and several bus connections near by if getting in with public transportation. Quiet and plenty of ways to walk around the area too.

Renovation of the premises were going on so saunas and other additional facilities were not available, minor issue and not really a bad thing for the future stays in same place.

The receptionist that greeted us was prompt and friendly. There is a kitchen we could use to heat up the food, There is plenty of carpark that is free so that was great. The area is quiet and there is a K-market that is within walking distance.

The bed was way too soft and hurt our backs. The wi-fi was not working well.

Breakfast was very good with plenty of choices. Dining area was nice. A kitchen and lounge area on my floor was good to have. Buses to city centre were nearby and updated timetable in reception was very helpful.

Unfortunately my room was next to the lift and the noise from that was disturbing from very early morning until late at night.
