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.
