It was one of the best places I have ever stayed!||We traveled together with my Mum and she also liked the hostel :)||--Very clean, everything: the room, the bathroom, the kitchen||--the beds are comfortable||--The staff is very helpful and friendly||--we asked for a quiet room and it we got it (but, probably, all rooms are quiet there :)||--The location is very nice (its not in the center but the connection to the center is very convenient and also you can walk there, its a nice walk, about 30 minutes along the river), the hostel is located almost in the forest so its a great relaxing view from the window and amazingly fresh air||--there is a place to eat nearby (not a fancy one but you wont be hungry) and a supermarket in 2 stops||||Just 2 small minuses:||--first time it might be a little tricky to find the place (even at the tourist office in the center they told us the wrong bus stop to go out) so, maybe, itd be nice to put on the site more detailed directions. ||There are a few buses to get to the hostel but for the first time IMHO its better to take buses 14, 15 (from the market square or from the bus station) and go out at the bus stop Lustokatu (№1615) -then just go a little ahead and Lustokatu street will be the first street on the right.||--the breakfast was a little too early for us, till 9am during workdays and till 10am at the weekends (we ordered it on Saturday and we came for breakfast at 9:30am but there were not so much food left but it was tasty). But, actually, you don`t need breakfast as you can buy everything you need and put it in the fridge and cook breakfast yourself...
Read moreStayed for one night in a family room, which was spacious and had everything you would need for a relaxing stay with the kids. A private bathroom/toilet, kitchenette with cooking plates, microwave, fridge, toaster and loads of kitchenware, even a tv. Sheets and towels included, you don't need to bring anything. Everything was impeccably clean as well. ||||Lots of things to do: disc golf course (it's in the forest with lots of mosquitoes, wear proper clothing), sauna with a swimming pool, a small but well-equipped kids' room (toys, books, drawing supplies, a game console). Table tennis, air hockey, a sand box for the little ones.||||If you're a family of more than four persons, it's worth asking directly at the hostel what would be the best room arrangement for you, at least one extra small child didn't cost anything in the same room (we were five people, youngest four years old).||||Not too far from Turku city center and it seemed to be accessible by public transport too, there was a bus stop nearby (don't know how well it works, went by car). Didn't try the breakfast either as we had to depart early to catch the ferry to Åland. Supermarket one kilometer away, the reception had a reasonably priced kiosque with snacks, sandwiches,...
Read moreThis was my second stay at Linnasmäki. The rooms are simple but clean. I had a rental car and finding a parking space was a breeze, very probably due to Covid.||||This place is a hostel and a training facility with a sauna and conference center.||||They also offer breakfast and lunch at affordable prices. I didn't eat there, but from what I saw walking by, everything looked good.||||The reception has restricted opening hours during low-season . Checking in autonomously is easy, the instructions I received were easy to follow.||||The room price includes free WiFi and parking is also free of charge. The rooms are not luxurious, but clean and really okay for the price. I have all kinds of allergies (pollen, dust, fragrances), so I know that I'm safe here because even the soap in the bathroom is fragrance-free and the linens and towels are clean and have no scent besides the scent you smell when things are just clean.||||The location is quiet and so is the whole building. No disturbances, everything really calm.||||There is a bus-stop nearby. So, even if you don't arrive by car, this place still as a good option.||||Oh, by the way: the staff at the reception is helpful and very friendly and e-mails are answered in a...
