Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Decent room, OK, tea/coffee making facilities available, but there were no coffee pads, just sugar and creamer. Bathroom OK too. Fridge, no microwave. Lots of noise when the window is open, otherwise absolutely quiet despite the main roads. Only a few minutes walk to the sights. Parking spaces all around, all for a fee. Hotel underground car park available, access from the rear. Price unknown, we parked outside, free from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. At other times, payment is also possible with Easypark.

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.

Stayed at Sparre with my two boys (10 and 8 yrs) in their Superior room which was very spacious and nice looking. TV set was also good as we watched Finland beat Ireland 1-0 :) After the game we went to large and tidy sauna, and in the morning had very versatile and well-prepared breakfast.
Staff was helpful and nice, so overall very pleasant stay and really good value for money.

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.

Staff is really helpful. When you arrive Sundays after desk closingtime, they will arrange codes and an envelope for you. Any question will be answered in no time. There is a possibility to park your car underground, they will tell you where that is. €10 a night. Location is perfect, When you cross the main Street you're in the old town of Porvoo. Breakfast is very nice. Rooms are clean and the beds are really fine.

A bathroom can be build without floor heating, but then the floor material has to be water proof. Unfortunately rhis is nor the case ( at least in the room we were) the floor was tiled and as water seeps through the seams as it does sooner or later anyway and mold will start to grow under the tiles. A strong smel mild greets you in the bathroom. Pity, since otherwise the hotel was quite nice except for some street noise in the rooms on the street side and and well situated..

+ The room size was okay, comfortable bed and a very fresh bathroom. + The friendly and service-oriented staff increases the overall impression and makes it possible to come back - Poor storage and room for suitcases. - Hair left after previous guest - No AC only fan - Spartan breakfast, offering only the bare essentials

Clean rooms, nice staff, good breakfast. Close to everything in town, good parking for an additional cost. Quiet and well soundproofed. Sauna available, not common for ladies and gentlemen. Rock hard beds which is a minus. Nice town, worth a visit.

Small and nice little hotel in very good location in the middle of city. The staff was very friendly and breakfast quite simple. Rooms were small but clean. Parking place in the cellar was good but entrance hard to find.
