Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location in the heart of the old town is excellent for exploring the area on foot, though noise from the main walking street can be bothersome. The rooms, unfortunately, lacked proper air conditioning and cleanliness standards, with early morning light infiltration. The dining experience did not meet expectations regarding quality for the price, but the service was satisfactory overall.
The hotel had large rooms, and the internal sauna was brilliant after a cold walk, although I had to endure hearing all the other guests having intercourse. The hotel was cold but had a lot to offer.
I have to say, my stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. On the bright side, the location is absolutely fantastic, right in the heart of the Old Town, making it super convenient to explore all the attractions. The rooms were cozy and had good-sized bathrooms, but the single beds were on the smaller side. The service was a bit hit or miss with some staff members being incredibly friendly and helpful while others seemed a bit aloof. The dining options were decent, although a bit pricey, and the hotel's facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
The hotel's location is excellent, situated in the heart of the Old Town making sightseeing and shopping a breeze. The service was overall pleasant, with helpful staff but a miss on some aspects. The dining options were average, but the hotel offers a decent variety. Rooms are clean and functional, although facing some temporary inconveniences. The hotel's facilities are satisfactory.
The hotel's location couldn't be better, right within the Old Town walls, making it super convenient to explore all the charming attractions on foot. The rooms, although dark and dated, were spacious and cozy with a double bed. The service was exceptional with thoughtful gestures like arranging an early check-in and even a private sauna session. The dining options, although a bit pricey, offered delicious Greek traditional products. Overall, a great choice for a stay in Tallinn's Old Town.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. On the plus side, it is conveniently located within the Old Town with easy parking and a great room. The room itself was clean and well-lit but fell short in terms of comfort with small, soft single beds. Unfortunately, the service was lacking friendliness and attentiveness, only welcoming guests at check-in and check-out. The location, however, was stellar, being near the Old Town with easy access to attractions, bars, and restaurants.
