A beautiful hotel in the heart of the old city but also within walking distance of the new areas. Only a short distance from the Port or 20 minutes drive to the airport. Comfortable rooms, great service and a super breakfast to start your day.

This is a basic hotel, close to the beautiful towers, near the shouth entrance of old town and walkable to the park and lake. The breakfast was great, staff amazing. I didn’t like that coffee at the front desk is €2.50. Should be free for guests since there is not a coffee machine in the bedrooms. I would stay again only if I’m in a tight budget.

Lovely hotel located within the walls of the old city. Breakfast excellent. Our original room was in the basement although a fine room we did not want to be there and they accommodated our request to be moved the next day for the rest of our stay

For our first time in Estonia, this was a good stay. Priced well and overall a good stay. The rooms are very small, bathroom is impossible for 2 people to be in at the same time. There are other options nearby we will choose for next time. We got what we paid for. Staff was reasonably polite but it’s also the culture, something you have to get used to.

Excellent hotel. The staff were amazing and very professional, friendly and welcoming. The room was big enough and clean. The breakfast, although buffet, you could have as much or little as you wanted. If you want a fantastic hotel within easy walking distance of all the attractions (all within 10 minutes) and 2 minutes from the bus/tram stop then this is the hotel for you. Woukd highly recommend this hotel to everyone.

This hotel has a great location for travelers who want to explore the old town. The area is very walkable and quiet. My room was not big, but as a solo traveller it was sufficient. Please note, there is no air conditioning, so it may get warm in summer. it would have been helpful if there was a fan. My room had a small old fan that can generate regular and warm air, but it was not helpful for me to cool down. One of the highlights was the breakfast which I enjoyed very much. It had pickled herring, cheese, eggs, olives, croissants, grilled veggies, meatballs and more. They had a nice espresso machine as well.

Stayed in a Comfort Double room. The first room where the TV didn't work was on the mezzanine floor with a window facing the street. Unfortunately it was very easy to see from the outside, so the curtains had to be used permanently. As a result, the room was very dark. After one night we moved to another room that was more spacious and even had a balcony. It really depends on which room you have in the hotel, even in the most expensive category. Annoying: you can't shower without flooding the bathroom.
