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

The room was clean and staff were friendly. My only issue was I did not get the room I had reserved through Travelocity. I was assured it was even you could at the pictures and tell it is not. But you have to reserve through their website. Also the breakfast is advertised as free for over 55 years old if you tell them at check in. It is only if you book through their website. So I stayed in the smaller room and paid for my breakfast.

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.
