Very smart location in the center of the old town. Old design but modern facilities. Comfy beds, simple but good breakfast. The staff is very polite and helpful.

The front staff person was pleasant but not overly talkative; that's fine though. The path to the room wound through cool corridors and beautiful rooms. The room isn't was quaint and the nearest part was that the bathroom floor is heated, so no cold feet after a shower. The beds were comfortable the room clean.

Baltic family vacation.
Staff was very friendly when we checked in late at night and they were all prepared for us when we arrived. In the morning the free breakfast was very tasty and plentiful. Bedroom was very clean and they put us on the floor we requested. Hotel is in the heart of all the activity and tourist spots are walkable.

Right in old town and very affordable! The building itself is very charming, and the staff are very helpful if you have any issues. The cleanliness is questionable, but taking the age of the hotel and the price it’s forgivable. The breakfast buffet is kind of dismal, I would just stick to the poppyseed rolls and coffee, but maybe it depends on the day.

The hotel looks nice throughout and it’s in a fantastic location for exploring Tallinn with it being right in the Old Town.
The staff were all very friendly and helpful.
The room was spacious and comfortable. No frills but the quality and location made the price a great deal.
The only downside was you will need to bring earplugs if the nightclub in the basement is open. I arrived on a Saturday night and my room was on the 4th floor but the music continued till about 4am. Thankfully, I had earplugs and it didn’t bother me much. Sunday night was fine because the club was closed.
I didn’t do the breakfast but peaked in. It looked in line with average.

A quirky converted property with old features. It is in the old town with plenty of cafes and a 24 hour shop close by. It is also handy for the ferry terminal from which you can get to Helsinki in 2 hours. OK breakfast in a room upstairs, not suitable if you have mobility problems.

Not great
Got no sleep at all, if there is 30degrees outside, its at least 60 inside the room. No AC, and small window which didnt help at all. Hotel kinda labyrinth. Breakfast were mid, everything were finished all the time. Location were really good tho, and maybe it would be bearable to stay during winter season.

Lovely old building, clean and tidau, breakfast was good. Reception was helpful. Location is perfect.
Only negatives were that we were on 5th floor. Which is a bit of a hike, especially with luggage. Also it was really hot on a night, I ended up opening the window despite it being - 8 outside. But understandable because it's such an old building but may not be for everyone.

The location is fantastic. The property feels old, which may be by design for its location. The night staff was a little snarky when i arrived just before midnight. But the young woman who was at the front desk during the day was phenomenal. She was super helpful and friendly. The accommodations are good, though i could hear the guest in the room next door snoring! :)
On location, this is a sure win.

The first room offered to us smelled of mould and was tiny although I paid for a standard room. I booked the room quite in advance so they can't say it was the last available one. I asked to change and the second room was above the night club where the loud music played until 5am. There is no coffee, or tea, or water in the room. Very bad experience

The breakfast staff were aggressive. Even before the breakfast hours were over, they started to clear away the food and started to mop the floor, to make us leave faster. They even turned off the lights 10 minutes before the breakfast hours ended. The actually food wasn’t so good, but the service was horrible.

Avoid these hotel when you would like to find your hotel room again. The hotel is a maze, 5 level of rooms, stairways not direct connected, no lift, it is a real pain searching for your room with your luggage in the hands. Never again.

The location of the property is perfect. Very close to town square with plenty of wonderful restaurants close by and 24 hour convenient store on the corner. Lots of fun finding short cut tunnels through Old City Tallin and short cut stairwells through the hotel “maze”. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom was small but good hot water although poor ventilation. Rooms were warm and toasty. Floors in hotel room were dirty and we used the bath towels to wipe down the floors ourselves. I wish they would have vacuumed or mopped before we arrived which was late at 1800.

4 floors no elevator, so not for restricted people
Hotel is a 4 floors of labyrinth. No elevators. Not friendly staff. But building is nice and in excellent location. No aircon, so rooms in upperfloors can be hot on summer. Breakfast wasn't anyhow special, fairly limited selection but edible. But in the end be happy if you got an option to travel around.
