A must see and stay!

Fantastic hotel with history and charm. Excellent breakfast. The spa was unique, relaxing, and the best I've been to. I recommend adding that on with the Ringing foot bath.
Noelle, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly staff, clean and well appointed rooms, excellent breakfast, walkable distance to the riverfront, safe beautiful surroundings. The old prison vibe was still there in a good way - not your usual cookie cutter hotel. I will most definitely come back!

We spent two nights at Hotel Kakola over the Mid-Summer break with the family. The hotel was unique and the atmosphere was welcoming, and the rooms were modern, clean, and well-designed. Our stay included breakfast and the hotel offers plenty of variety of options . The staff was friendly and helpful. We also had the chance to relax and enjoy the SPA with additional charge. Overall we have enjoyed our stay at Hotel Kakola and I recommend it to anyone looking for a special experience in Turku.

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.
Pasi, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Puitteiltaan hieno hotelli, siisti huone ja hyvä sänky. Kulmahuone oli talviaikaan sen verran viileä, että lämpötilaa joutui säätämään ja silti nukkumaan villasukat jalassa. Tv:n kaukosäädin puuttui huoneesta, joten sammutus onnistui mutta infot jäi lukematta. Aamupala oli monipuolinen ja hyvä, mutta viikonlopun puolella ruuhkainen (piti raivata itse pöytä käyttöön) ja arkipäivän aamupalan eri aikataulusta unohti respa mainita, joten menin paikalle kun tuotteita jo siivottiin pois. Kylpylä jäi testaamatta.

Huone siisti ja materiaalit korkealuokkaisia. Majoituspaikka erilainen kuin normaali hotelli. Erittäin hyvä aamupala. Varsinkin Kakolan vankilan perinteillä tehty aamupuuro!

Huone oli siisti mutta jääkylmä. Vessassa varpaat meinasi jäätyä kun jääkylmä lattia. Huoneenlattiassa heti ovesta sisään tullessa reikä. Sukka jäi siihen kiinni.
