Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers unique themed rooms that are both spacious and clean. The location is rich in history, making it quite special. While there were some concerns about noise and certain areas needing updates, the quality of breakfast and the friendly service made for a pleasant stay overall.
The hotel has a rich history and is situated in a central location, making it convenient to explore downtown Pori. Our room was spacious and well-equipped, but there were some issues with water pressure in the bathroom. The breakfast was extensive and included many local specialties, adding a nice touch to our stay. However, the parking options could be a bit limited, especially during peak times.
I recently stayed at this hotel, which is steeped in history and boasts a central location. The breakfast selection was excellent and the staff was very welcoming. However, we encountered some issues with the room conditions as not all rooms appear to be equally maintained, and the water pressure in the bathroom was disappointing.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, enjoying a spacious and modern room with easy access to amenities. The breakfast was a highlight with a wide selection of options. However, the check-in experience at the other building was a bit unsettling due to the atmosphere outside, and not every room seems to offer the same quality. Overall, there's good value for the price, but some aspects could use improvement.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The central and historical location is a significant advantage, with a great breakfast offering that stood out. Unfortunately, the room I stayed in left a lot to be desired, feeling outdated and not very well designed for comfort. The service was friendly, but the issues with the room overall affected my satisfaction.
