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.

Pari puutetta.

Muuten kaikki hyvin, mutta sänky liian lyhyt kaksimetriselle ja suihkut aika ankeat.

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!

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.

Vanha laiva, jonka mukainen on myöskin sisutus sekä pienten hyttien tilakin. Sijainti linnan kupeessa oli mitä mainioin sekä henkilökunta ystävällistä ja avuliasta

Oikein kiva paikka, rauhallinen ja erikoinen. Täytti täysin odotukseni ja tulen mielelläni uudestaan. Aamupalapaikka myös mukava ja riittävät brekuaineet tällaiselle hinta-laatusuhteeltaan hyvälle paikalle. Saapumisohjeita voisi ehkä vähän tarkentaa tai painottaa, itse saavuin paikalle kävellen "väärästä suunnasta" ja seikkailin ympäriämpäri jotain satama-aluetta, mikä ei taida olla superturvallinen paikka hengailla yksin, varsinkaan pimeällä. Kun pääsin ns. perille, näin sisäänkäynnin 30m päässä, mutta edessäni oli aita. Sisään päästäkseni piti kiertää arvioltaan n. 600m matkan pitkin aitaa. Tai hullutella ja aiheuttaa vakavan vaaratilanteen pitämällä oikein lujaa aidasta kiinni (ensin tietysti tarkistaa, ettei kukaan ollut tehnyt aidalle ilkivaltaa) ja nojata taaksepäin veden ylle ja hyvin keskittyneenä siirtää itsensä aidan toiselle puolelle ja huokaista helpotuksesta kun ei hukkunutkaan. Kiersin tietysti kiltisti aidan, mutta siihen voisi vaikka joku kiva kyltti, mikä saisi esim. päihtynyeet miettimään kahdesti tuollaista vaihtoehtoa.
