Naantali Kesärannan Beach Hotels

"The room was nice enough, but it didn’t get cleaned."

"This is an incredibly nice hotel. The staff were kind and helpful, the room is very comfortable and clean, the food was good, and you get a discounted rate at a lovely spa a short walk away. My only complaint is that, as an American who lives in a country with a prison industrial system, I was hoping this prison-turned-hotel would be focused more on "Isn't it wonderful our crime rate is so low in Finland that we close prisons rather than open more? Look how we reused the space to provide a comfortable space for travelers to sleep and a nice cafe where people can enjoy meals together". The decor is lots of barbed wire and handcuffs attached to furniture and a giant mural of the prisoners in the restaurant. They make it nearly impossible to not think about the people who were once held there. I wish, much like the way a lot of old churches have been turned into secular community spaces, that this old prison felt more interested in a brighter future rather than clinging to a dark past."

"All needed in one place! - kettle - microwave - fridge - free parking"

"The place isn’t far from the city yet it’s far enough away to enjoy nature and an excellent property. There’s a complementary kayak if you want to enjoy the water or cab sit on the beach. There’s also sheep on the property that you can feed "
