No staff available. Basically just a room with no amenities. Not for a novice traveler

I was in a business trip. All i looking was a clean bed, hot water and fast internet. They have them all, plus a decent breakfast was a complementary. I liked it
25.06.2024 Susan
Staff is very nice as are the rooms basically, but it is on the third floor of an office building. No staff at night at all . Accommodating if you arrive late on day of arrival , but they close at 1:00PM on Sunday . Can’t even store bags after that time.

Very good in the decent basic hotel category. Clean, quite spacious, tea, coffee and an armchair in the room. Pleasant breakfast space. Very well located for both the bus station and the old town. Like many cheaper Finnish hotels, doesn’t have 24-hour desk coverage, though staff when there were efficient and polite.

Great location and good service plus nice and clean rooms
22.05.2023 Stanton
Breakfast was good, not outstanding. Our room was clean and the sauna was great! Can't beat the location for walking around town and the old part of Borgå. The staff was nice. We had an issue with our room key one evening and could not get in. The desk is not manned in the evening so getting a hold of someone to let us in was difficult but once we made contact they remedied the situation promptly. Make sure you know the proper area code prefixes in Finland so you can make a call when needed! Yes, we would stay there again.

Simple and modern. Clean and very good bed. Street can be a little noise, but it was absolutely not an issue. Breakfast is basic and good.

Nice modern room and good breakfast with local brunberg sweets from Porvoo and karelian pies

Lovely hotel with new fresh look and great Finnish design. The room was simple and peaceful. The reservation included relaxing sauna and one of the best breakfast with many vegetarian and vegan options! Location is right there in the heart of Porvoo. You could also rent city-bikes from the hotel to explore the city more freely. The staff were very helpful and gave us info where to go in old-town. I recommend the hotel especially for the couples looking for a peaceful, convenient stay in Porvoo for a night or two.
07.02.2020 David
Moderate at best, over-priced and worn-out. The staff were friendly, the renovated rooms were done so cheaply that they had extension cables, a tiny desk and no cupboard.
The room I had was (poorly) renovated yet the toilet did not work, was then moved and that toilet also broke within a day.
The breakfast was basic and not fresh. It was pet-friendly but that would be their only saving.
I would not go here again.
06.06.2018 Steve
Low budget, old skool.
Clean and tidy with nice staff.
But rooms adjacent to road are noisy, and the blinds / curtains are poorly maintained so room never dark. Tired and needs refurbishment - looks like 1990 European style.
Easy parking and access, breakfast relaxed and okay.
Room service is limited only to replacing towels, so toilet not flushed not beds made up.
There are better choices.
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
Think about what you would like to know if you were looking for a review about a place to relax. Please describe in detail what you liked and what you didn't. What would you advise to other guests and to the hotel owner. The more fully you tell about the hotel, the easier it will be for other people to make a choice and they will be very grateful to you!
