Excellent hotel this, and close to train station/bus stops and a short walk to ferry port. Felt really fresh and new. The whole hotel was clean and the decor was superb. My room was a single but plenty of space for me and bed comfortable. Bathroom was very good as was shower. Staff were excellent throughout the stay and breakfast was very good. I will go back to Tallinn as its a wonderful city and i will definitely be staying in this hotel again

Small but clean room with everything you need for a short stay. The hotel is within easy walking distance to Old Town attractions, the Christmas markets and plenty of restaurants, which made exploring very convenient. There’s also a great kids’ playground just a few minutes away — very handy if you’re travelling with kids. Breakfast is on the smaller side but still offers enough variety to start the day well. Overall, a comfortable and well-located hotel.

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
