A good central Turku option with one complaint.
Pros:

Scandic Julia is very conveniently placed just 5 minutes from the main square and opposite bus stops for several main routes, including to Turku and the rail station.

Reception staff are helpful and the buffet breakfast is varied, if let down a little by a limited choice of patisserie and extremely overcooked bacon.

The room was just about the right size for a short stay and temperature could be controlled from a wall thermostat. The bath had a mounted handspray rather than a walk-in shower which I much prefer. My only complaint (causing me to deduct a blob) is that we returned on Sunday night to find the bed very poorly made (see photo). When I saw this, I wondered what other corner had been cut. Quality control needs to improve.
