Original Sokos Hotel Kupittaa — Hotel in Turku sub-region

Overall excellent hotel, from check-in to departure. Adjacent to the train station. Incredibly comfortable bed that I slept so well in. Huge flatscreen in the room with some English channels. Spacious room as well with a mini fridge, working desk, tea packets and hangers and open shelves. Incredibly quiet and soundproofed as well. The shower is also very good and I love the toiletries are in larger bottles to be environmentally-friendly. Wifi is excellent. The on-site hotel restaurant serves excellent food.

The Breakfast buffet is great IMO. Whilst there is no prepared food like omelettes, there is a huge continental spread and hot scrambled eggs, sausages and bacon.

My only niggling points: you can’t change the room temp from 21.5 C so the thermostat is pointless. It was a bit too chilly for me and too warm for others in our group. Eventually I settled.

There is no fitted sheet on the bed, only a duvet… why do Europeans do this?! I woke up sweaty each AM but without a covering I would have been cold.

My room wasn’t cleaned for 2 days but this was promptly corrected.

The on-site fitness facility is a disappointment with no treadmill BUT there is a free pass given to a huge local gym a 7-10 minute walk away which I highly recommend.

Look forward to my...

We went to turku because our friend is getting married. We’ve stayed in Original Sokos Hotel Kupittaa from 15.8 to 17.8.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Its near the center. Hopefully they would gave us a room next time with bathtub coz my son really enjoy playing in the bathtub.

Food has wide selection too. I ordered from room service around 9:30pm and it was Chef Dan who made our pizza. It was sooo good!! Also special thanks to alekzandra who delivered my food she was so nice coz i couldn’t go to the restaurant because my son is already sleeping.

Breakfast buffet was nice too! They have huge selection. Breads - salads - etc. It was a lovely set up. The only thing that me & my husband didn’t like is the overcooked scramble eggs 😞😞 from our first day to second day eating at the breakfast buffet they have served overcooked scramble eggs 🥺

We will definitely be back! Hopefully the scramble eggs would be better in the future.

Thank you to the nice ladies also in the reception area for the...

Continued in english: Chaotic during the summer particularly july. Restaurant is a warzone as well as info desk during check in period.

Hotel employees very young, not energetic, no facial impression. I support young labor but these fellows are totally not happy.

Restaurant is another warzone, bistro elli has super slow staff, not capable of dealing with half capacity of the restaurant. Waited for desert for an hour and gave up, paid and left.

Breakfast rush hour: chaotic. No any single clean table left. Cleaning stuff wiping each table in 30 min, all them look tired and zombified.

Stuff has no passion, no passion means poop service.

This hotel needs to learn from Lapland Hotels and the way they deal with crowded environments.

Elevator? What’s that? Use stairs, good luck getting an elevator. Or be smart and get a room from top floor, stuff your family in and don’t let anyone else ride it below.
