This is the "affordable alternative" of the famous and more fancy Hamburger Bors hotel at the other side of the street, in the very heart of Turku. Clean but very basic modernly furnished rooms, no service, not even a tea bag in the room available unless you order well in advance and pay for it separately. We had booked a... More

The hotel is unmanned and you check in at the Sokos across the street. Access to floors is via your key card but employees from the Sokos department store also use the same entrance so people are always going in and out. For this reason it seemed a little less safe and next time I would probably stay in the... More

This hotel is in the very centre of Turku. It is not manned, and you check in at its sister hotel Sokos Hamburger Börs just across the street. The rooms are ok - it was clean, the bathroom & shower was ok, the bed was comfortable, but don't expect to stay in your room too much, as it's pretty boring.... More

We had taken the day ferry to Turku from Stockholm and needed somewhere not too expensive to stay for a night before heading to Helsinki. This hotel was good for our purposes. We loved the fittings in the room - modern and clean. The hotel was also centrally located: great for a walk around the city centre and easy to... More

I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel. After my experience at the Seurohuone in Helsinki (see review) I was really worried that a cheaper Sokos hotel might be very basic but this was not the case. All the staff, from the reception to the housekeepers, were exceptionally helpful and friendly. The rooms, whilst not 'luxurious' are very well appointed,... More

Stayed 2 nights at City Börs in Turku in October. The hotel is opposite the street of Hamburger Börs (front desk, restaurants, pool & sauna) and is in the same building as the departmentstore Sokos is. It was convenient to be able to enter the dept.store directly from the lift (press 2nd floor, sign almost unnoticed unless proper look!). Room... More

This was across the street from the upscale Sokos. The services were across the street. Room was small but comfortable. I had no problem with noise at night. Only problem was that, if I opened the window, I could hear noise from the outside. Parking costs, but I simply toured during the day and pulled into the public parking just... More

A decent hotel with clean, sizeable rooms and efficient staff. Our only grumble was that having a top floor room we had a great view over the market square but there was a constant noise from the roof. It sounded like wind blowing over the roof but the weather was fairly still outside. Apart from that, a decent choice plumb... More

Just across the street from Sokos Hamburger Bors where services are (breakfast, PC with Internet, restaurant...). Room was large, airy and nice. Ideally situated in the city centre. More
