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

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.

Verified review

8/10 Very good

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.

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
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Verified review

6/10 Good

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.
Verified review

6/10 Good

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.

I love the service and breakfast. The ged is comfy and the room is basic but convenient. There is not a coffee machine in the room. They do have a coffee machine in the reception but they charge €2.50 to use it. There is no AC
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

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.
