The location is very good - the hotel is in the center of the town and a few minute's walk from the Old Town and the Cathedral of Porvoo. Many shops and restaurants very close. The room was functional, and the bathroom/shower was good. The hotel was apparently slightly understaffed, with only one person handling both the reception and the... More

The hotel is right next to the bus station, so the location is very convenient. The beautiful old town is a small walk away. There is a restarurant/bar across the street and there are excellent restaurants within walking distance. The room had sticky floors and the bathroom hadn't been cleaned very well. Breakfast is very basic. The hotel's decor is... More

It was a pleasant weekend stay at a nice small hotel in Porvoo. The room was clean and bright and everything worth every penny. The hotel location is 10 mins of lazy walk to the old town. Staff very friendly and helpful. If to pick at, the room was 'pretty cool' at night - around 22 C, late October, with... More

Only one night on a business trip, with minimal use of facilities. The room was spacious and had everything required. Comfy bed and not too hot. The bathroom was a little tired, but the shower was terrific. I don't like the current fad with soap/shower dispensers stuck to the wall; just too institutional. Front desk staff were friendly and informative.... More

Rooms look to have been redecorated recently and our room was very nice, good bathroom, comfy double bed. 2 mins walk from the old town and bus station and en route from the ferry stop to the old town. No complaints at all, and Porvoo is definitely worth an overnight stay. Eat or drink at Johans which was very welcoming.

The Sparre won't win any prizes for beauty especially being a stone's throw from the pretty old town area of Porvoo. It makes up for this with friendly and helpful staff and comfortable if tired rooms. Traffic noise can be a problem during the day but dies away at night. It's handy for the bus station and the tourist traps... More

We stayed in Sparre for one night during our summer holiday. The staff was very friendly, and the location of the hotel is good. It's a short walk away from the old town, but also close to shops and restaurants. The rooms are a bit weird and it looks like the beds have been rearranged from their original positions. We... More

We chose the hotel because of its location immediately in the city centre and in front of Sokos shop, there are several supermarkets, restaurants and cafes nearby. The hotel is very well noise-proof though and you will not hear any bustle. I would agree with other comments that bed arrangement was quite strange and we were offered a room as... More

Hotell Sparre is in a 40 years old or so building in the town centre right next to the tremendously cute wooden old town of Porvoo/Borgå. The rooms could do with some redecorating and some are slightly strangely furnished, but they have ordinary double rooms with the beds placed in the ordinary fashion. We had one of those and one...

Hotel was perfectly adequate although our room was a bit odd. We booked a double room but got a twin, fair enough, but the room was very long and thin and the beds were end to end! Bathroom was adequate, breakfast buffet was fine, nothing to complain about really.. but for the same price (€90 per night) we got a... More
