This city centre guesthouse is just 7 minutes’ walk from Kupitta Train Station and Turku University. Guests can enjoy free sauna access and free Wi-Fi internet connection.

The bright rooms at Tapulitalo have cable TV, bathrobes and shared bathroom facilities. A communal kitchen is also available for guests’ use.

A delightful place. The owner has thought of everything; it had all the necessary facilities and more, with lots of special touches. The bed was extremely comfortable, the wifi fast, and the entire place had a real charm. The owner was very helpful and kind. Highly recommended and great value.

Set a 10-minute drive from central Turku in connection with Linnasmäki college, Hostel Linnasmäki offers free parking and rooms with a work desk and free Wi-Fi access. Turku Art Museum is 4 km away.

A private bathroom with shower is standard in all rooms at Linnasmäki Hostel. Some rooms include a TV and a kitchenette with a stove, fridge and coffee maker.

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.

Docked in the Aurajoki River in Turku, this boat hostel offers cabins with private bathrooms. Parking is free next to the boat when using a parking disk. Turku Castle is 500 metres away.

All cabins at Laivahostel S/S Bore have a wardrobe. Each has access to a TV lounge with a small library and newspapers.

It's less an accommodation and more a whole experience. Feels like you are sleeping in a museum. Make sure to check out the whole ship and museum. The reception is open 24/7 and offers small snacks.

Offering free WiFi throughout the property, Bella Hostel is situated in Turku, 600 metres from St Michael's Church and 800 metres from Kinopalatsi Movie Theater Complex, Turku. The property is around 1.6 km from Turku Cathedral, 1.4 km from Paavo Nurmi Stadium and 2.7 km from Turku Castle. The property is non-smoking and is set 400 metres from Turku Central Station.

The place was very good for me. I went to a concert held nearby, and it ended 22:30. I also had to very early bus on the next day. The hotel was close to both the concert location and the bus stop.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    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.
