This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Breakfast is amazing: plenty of food choices and Finnish specialties including the Karelian pie (and veggie option of that even). The hotel is modern, clean and tidy, with maintaining a hint of their prison history. The associated part of the building is almost a community: a gym, a spa, bakery, restaurants, shops and a funicular going downhill to the river. Highly recommended, and definitely will stay there when I visit Turku next time.

The hotel had an interesting history as being a notorious prison.

Once was a prison for people awaiting trial. Lots of character. The have done a lovely job of vonverting it into a hotel. Rooms smallish by North American standards but all in all, a good place to stay.

Lovely modern conversion from previous use as a prison. We had a balcony room which was large and very well appointed. We didn’t get to try breakfast as we were leaving on an early ferry but I’m sure it would have been as good as the rest of the hotel.

The hotel rooms are great, new, clean.
Breakfast is very average.
Dinner was horrible. Really bad food and service. The dinner card had just 2 main dishes, started, Toast Skage, camevafter on minute. The toast was cold and totally burnt. Disgusting for a 15eur starter. Burger was too salty. Coffee was undrinkable. Sorry, i dont know how this hotel gets its high rating.

Hotel Kakola is situated in an old jailhouse, which was built in 1890. Rooms are new, modern and stylish. They have many different room types, even cell rooms and a real boat suite.
We had a family room (22 square meters) for four people. We had a double bed and a barred bunk bed in our room. The bunk bed is big enough even for adults. On the other hand it is funny and safe for young children, because it is possible to lock the barred door so that children don't drop.
We had an underfloor heating, a very efficient air-conditioning system, a safety deposit box, a Lavazza coffee machine, a Mysoda sparkling water maker, a hair dryer and free WiFi in our room.
The breakfast buffet was very good and breakfast time was long enough (7 am - 11 am on weekends). The lunch and dinner restaurant is very good, too. Besides, their summer terrace is very nice and peaceful.

Fantastic place to stay, which sounds odd since this was once a prison. The architects and designers deserve an award. Tha public areas, surroundings and rooms are just amazing. Well worth a visit.
Improvement areas: Signage and TV operation & channels - all Finnish, despite button Language that brings you to Finnish only. No BBC or other international news channels. That was a bummer. Lucky that casting was working flawless. Breakfast a bit basic, fruits and yoghurts are missing, yet BF was included in the roomrate.

Very nice hotel but absolutely terrible pillows. They were like garbage bags filled with air. Impossible to get comfortable. This is such a shame as everything else was totally fine.
