“This hotel places you squarely in Tallinn's Old Town, marrying a prime location with thoroughly clean and smartly designed interiors; the underfloor heating in the bathrooms is a particularly welcome touch. The blend of historic architecture and modern comfort makes it quite good value, and the staff-once you adjust to their Estonian style-are genuinely helpful. A solid choice for a sightseeing base.”
