“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.”

Really good Stay in the Heart of the City!
secure areahelpful staffindoor seatingvaried breakfast
I found the hotel accommodating to cyclists, we could store our bikes in a secure area. The staff held our bags after checkout, which gave us time before our departure. They even provided a place to sit indoors away from the rain, something I greatly APPRECIATED!!! The breakfast offered a good variety of options.
The shower screen was slightly too small, causing some water to spill into the bathroom.
Facilities

convenient locationsmall roompoor soundproofing
the location was indeed quite convenient. it was pretty easy to get to the town hall square.
The room felt much smaller than i expected. there was hardly any space for luggage, a real issue (especially since i was traveling with a friend). the bathroom was also quite cramped. It was hard to move around comfortably. i also noticed that the soundproofing wasn't great, so it was noisy.
