Hotel Sparre

We had booked the “apartment” with a living room, 2 bedrooms and a kitchen, also an own balcony. We arrived with high hopes, and were led to an old and ugly door… behind it an ugly and very dreary porch hall looking like a decades abandoned office or some factory space… then an ugly dreary “living room” with a white carpet looking like it was washed in the 40’s if even then… dirty! The place was like a dirty dreary old office or something, can’t imagine what it had once been! And the air quality - it was very musty and lousy, the weather outside was very warm, and the only gear making the air move was one single tower fan. No air exchange, no air conditioner. My husband got a headache which lasted for hours. We sat there for ten minutes and decided to leave. So we have nothing to say about the breakfast. It has got good reviews but people have to carry their own dishes away. Fortunately Helsinki was near, we got an excellent hotel room for only about half the price of that dreadful “apartment”. Needless to say that in the net pages there was only one picture of the apartment, one about the beds in a bedroom. The experience was a shock.

My husband came to Porvoo on business for a few days so we decided to come with him and stay at Hotel Sparre. We were really pleased with how welcoming the hotel was. We booked two rooms and they made sure we had adjoining rooms without us even having to request it. The breakfast was very tasty and because my husband was at work and the children were tired we requested a late check out till 2pm which worked perfectly. The rooms are very comfortable and the beds are cosy. The location is great and the old town area is just up the road. All in all we had an excellent stay.
