Forenom Serviced Apartments Turku Kakolanmaki

TLDR: Newish aparthotel, free parking, contacless everything, quiet place, overall stay ”Scandic level” (without breakfast) Stayed about a week. We had originally booked a bit shorted stay, but had to make it longer (and that was super easy, just few click on their page and that’s done). Forenom is meant for people working on other city they usually live, so all the rooms have kitchen and washing machine. This Forenom is very quiet, saw only couple of people during our stay. The building used to be mental hospital for inmates in Kakola prison. Pros: • newish and very quiet • nice brick walls • AC • free parking • cheap! • code lock • easy to lenghten your stay Cons: • our lock ”died” during our stay (luckily one of us was inside!) and it took few hours to get a locksmith fix it. He had to open a box in our roof and it made a bit of a mess - it seemed that Forenoms have every now and then these problems. The staff was sorry on phone, but didn’t offer any refund, extra cleaning or anything. • cleaning was kind of basic - they should book some time for better cleaning (washing floors) every now and then. Also animal hair on sofa! Hadn’t booked an animal room (but obviously got one) • location is a bit off and area is evolving, so I hope there will be better walking fasilities in future All in all, would definately visit again. Pro tip: if you don’t go to supermarket by car, easiest way is to ride down to river with funicular and then take Föri (ferry) to supermarket on the other side of the river. They’re both free of charge and real Turku experiences.
