POSITIIVINEN KOKEMUS

Vietin Paavo Nurmi Gamesin ja Ahvenanmaan picnicristeilyn välisen yön Boressa ja kaikki loksahti mukavasti kohdalleen suihkun lämpimän veden ongelmaa lukuunottamatta. Sijainti erinomainen, henkilökunta ammattitaitoista ja palvelualtista, yleiset tilat sekä hytti oikein siistit, muutoinkin oikein rauhallinen yöpymispaikka, jossa sai kunnolla nukuttuakin. Aamiainenkin oli monipuolinen, joten hyvä maku jäi tästä lyhyestä visiitistä Aurajoen rannalle.

Kannen alla yhden hengen huoneessa melko lämmin ja ilmastointi äänekäs, joten korvatulpat mukaan. Muuten mukava, idyllinen paikka; usein täällä majoittunut. Aamusanuna plussaa jos on aikaa käydä. Aamiainen ok.

Yövyin nuoren ja alle kouluikäisen lapsen kanssa. Huone oli siisti, toki kulumaa jo pinnoilla, mutta sopi hyvin vanhan laivan tunnelmaan. Yöllä todella hiljaista, ei ääniä toisista huoneista. Aamupala ihan riittävä meillä, kahvia, puuroa ja leipää lisukkeineen. Sijainti mainio, kaikki lähellä. Ilmainen pysäköinti erittäin suuri plussa! Hyvin voisimme yöpyä myöhemmin uudelleen!

Erittäin hyvä hinta-laatusuhde

Erittäin hyvä hinta-laatusuhde. Kiva vanha laiva ja laivan tunnelma. Edullinen yöpymishinta ja siihen kuului vielä aamiainen. Kävelymatka sekä satamaan että sataman juna-asemalle. Ainoa miinus oli sekava logistiikka läheisen parkkipaikan suhteen, ennen kuin tajusi, mistä kohtaa laivalle pystyy kävelemään ja miten ne eristeaidat menevät.

Huono eristys huoneiden välillä

Hyttien väliset seinät eivät eristä ääntä lainkaan. Seinänaapureiden keskustelu kuului puolenyön aikaan kovaa ja häiritsi unta. Jopa kuorsaus kuului yön aikana viereisestä huoneesta! Vuoteet piti itse pedata.
