Stayed here for a few nights as a solo traveller and it was great! Check in process was easy and was able to walk into the city center easily. Was close to the Port of Tallinn which is great if you’re looking to take the ferry to Helsinki.

I arrived early and my room was ready which was a bonus. The room itself was on of their smaller rooms as I was a solo traveller but it was absolutely perfect. Sparkling clean and well equipped with toiletries. Lovely big bed and plenty of wardrobe space.
