How Fennia Palace came to be

Opened in 2012 after three years of building work on a former warehouse plot near the central railway station. From the first drawings, the plan was one combined hotel and gaming house.

Remarks selected from independent booking platforms and direct feedback forms. Names appear as provided.

★★★★★

"Arrived after a long train ride from Turku. The room was ready and quiet, and the desk lamp worked for evening tasks. Finding the gaming floor from the lobby was easy. Front-desk staff answered questions without rushing."

★★★★★

"Came for a weekend of table games and stayed two extra nights. The late kitchen running past midnight helped. On a weekday morning the wellness-wing pool area was clean and uncrowded."

Markus V. · Espoo · stayed January 2026
★★★★☆

"Being near the station is practical. The room matched its description in size. Breakfast began early enough for an airport transfer. I would book again for a mid-week visit."

Sari L. · Oulu · stayed November 2025
★★★★★

"First stay at a casino hotel in Finland. The separation between gaming areas and sleeping floors works well — no noise reached our sixth-floor room. The concierge helped with tram tickets."
