Where to start?

What a beautifully located and looking B&B this is! It was so easy to find in the old town and seconds away from everything. 

We arrived early and the owner had let us keep our stuff there until we were able to check in. That gave us time to go for a nice walk and get some food.

The owner was really polite, informative and just made you feel welcome. 

We arrived back from our walk and we had been upgraded to a double room which we were very happy about. 

The room had the originally beams and oozed character. It had a nice wooden floors and a super comfy bed! The TV was pretty small but we  probably watched it for an hour later in the evening so didn't care. The hot drink making facilities were in a communal part of the building where there was a couch, TV etc. Was really pretty. The shower is located next to it. The toilet is also out of the room. Was always free when we needed it and same with the shower. 

The views were amazing too. I thought anyway!
My only fault about the room/place is it needs some extra power sockets or leads to be able to charge phone etc otherwise you compromise other things. 

The breakfast was a nice selection and tasted of a good quality! Both were happy. 

10/10 is easily given to this b&b. We will be back for sure in the summer, maybe sooner. 

There's a lovely little souvenir shop 15 seconds from the front door that makes handmade items. Well worth a visit. We got some lovely stuff for home. 

Like a home from home!

This quiet and comfortable B&B is in a fantastic location right on the old town square and overlooking the river. Maggie is a friendly and welcoming host. We had a large double room upstairs with a lovely river view. The shared bathroom with one other room was very clean and modern. 

Breakfast was a nice continental spread with fresh baked croissants.

Old Porvoo is delightful with its cobbled streets, beautiful church and river walks. Highly recommend spending a night or two here!

Great location; comfortable and quiet

Staying at Ida-Maria was like visiting a friend. They texted on front about our arrival time and showed the way to our cute little one bedroom apartment. There was a possibility for sauna, which we didn’t use this time. It certainly was a great bonus especially now as it is -20 degrees celsius our side. We we’re so happy that they had arranged oat milk and oatgurt for breakfast only for us as we are vegan - such a nice gesture, which made us feel like we we’re important to them. The breakfast was very jice with oatmeal, different sorts of breads, bread toppings, waffles (not vegan) and fruits. Totally recommend ♥️

Warm and atmospheric stay

Lovely old wooden house right in the centre of the Old Town of Porvoo. Very cosy and friendly; even offers a sauna. One or two tips. It's not that easy to find; look for a red wooden gate just on the left beyond the main square. The owner will text you the code to let yourself in as there is nobody to book you in. Very little is open on a Sunday night in Porvoo, but I did find somewhere open in one of the riverside warehouses.

V comfortable B&B in very centre of Old Town

We stayed one night in the small attic room, main building. It was cosy and comfy, but a bit hot even though it wasn't too warm a day. If you are sensitive for noise, this isn't something for you since the rooms are very close to each other and share a bathroom. Decent breakfast with croissants, eggs, yoghurt etc either on the garden terrace or inside.

Cosy attic room

We stayed in the red fisherman’s cottage right by the river. Very spacious and quiet. Great to be in the center of porvoo. Breakfast was very nice with waffles and lots of choice. Friendly owner and definitely a nice place for a night or two. 

Lovely converted fisherman’s house

Located in the heart of the old town of Porvoo, the inn has a great history and a lovely feeling to it. The staff was very friendly and breakfast had a lot of varieties. A very comfortable stay I'd say. 

A Lovely Little Inn

We stayed one night in a private villa in Porvoo old town (accommodation was changed the day before due to unexpected and unfortunate things that surprised also the provider). The villa was located in a very quiet neighborhood north from the Cathedral and was very clean. Private parking. The smallish villa had all sorts of amenities, though I'm not sure if all of them was for the use of a quest (e.g. washing machine was 'not in use'). Bathroom was very nice. Because of the sudden change in our booking, we we're offered a free breakfast at the B&B main building; it was very good and versatile. Friendly staff.

Originally we booked accommodation on a private boat that is moored on the bank of Porvoo river. The boat broke down day before our arrival so we were instead offered to change the accommodation to a private villa. Of course this is something no one can really blame the owner, but we we're really excited to stay night at the river. Bummer.  
The villa was otherwise quite nice but the bed at the loft was super hot during the night. Lack of proper air ventilation. Steep ladder to the loft was no problem for us but persons with bad legs might want to choose another place to stay. A bit pricey.

Mixed feelings - good effort; positive aftertaste

The room was boiling hot which I can imagine would be super uncomfortable on really warm days, and it was uncomfortable for us on a 17 degree day. 1 bathroom between 4 bedrooms that can host anywhere between 8 to 12 people! So there were long queues all the time to use it. The shower is in the sauna so if someone is using the sauna you can't shower.

Breakfast was nice when we were able to eat it. We booked breakfast both days at 9am and on the second day there was no space for us at all. The staff ignored us the 3 times we came down between 9 and 9.25. We later found out they complained that breakfast was a mess because we came at the wrong time (despite us booking this time on our first evening and going at that time on our first morning!!).

There was no space for parking cars, and it was difficult to find somewhere to park for the whole day we were at an event.

We paid €250 for 2 nights for 2 people. Our friend was staying in a satellite location of guesthouse with his own sauna, bathroom, double bed and river view for €190 despite booking after us! Other friends paid €85 per night for 2 people. This is essentially a hostel with limited facilities. We definitely feel we were ripped off.

The location is in the old town which is really nice to walk around (not for cars). That was the only thing we really liked about this property.

Would I stay here again, or recommend to a friend? No.
