    Great location, nice historical style, but plan ahead with water.

    Hotel has a water problem. Tallinn water is fresh and pure, ok to drink tap water, but during evenings and mornings there's not enough pressure to have shower in 6th floor. Actually it was hard to even fill a cup for washing your teeth. So take caution: fill the cups early, have a water bottle, and shower early in the evening and morning.

    Great location in Old Town. Very nicely renovated room in 6th floor of side building right next to the hotel, with a view over rooftops. Room was not on the street side, so very quiet (even on friday - sunday trip). Main building historical, breakfast in the old restaurant of 2nd floor.

    There weee only minor things such as you can get wet when going to breakfast if raining and the self serve breakfast room feels small when busy. There was limited WiFi in our room and we resorted to using our own data sources.

    We stayed in the Annex on the 5th floor. The room was very spacious and comfortable. There was no noise from the bars on the street below. The breakfast was in the main building a short walk away. It was comprehensive and tasty. The location is excellent and close to all the old Town sights.

    The ‘classical side building’, where we booked our room, is above a bar/nightclub and directly opposite another. We were given a room above the bar and didn’t get to sleep until 4am due to the noise and thudding music. A phone call to reception at 3am to complain resulted in a move to the main building in the morning and an extremely quiet room for which we were very grateful! I understand that the original room, not sure about others, is only allotted when the hotel is full.

    Great location for seeing the sights. Extremely helpful friendly staff, spacious rooms, nice breakfast and old quirky lift.

    The elevator was kind of small, but that's ok. The room was ok, but nothing special.

    Good location, right in the old town and close to everything. Easy to access by bus from the airport. Silent. The breakfast was ok. There are two buildings that belong to the hotel - the main one and another one across the street - I was in the latter.

    • Stayed 3 nights

    Fire alarm started beeping in the middle of the night. Ceilings too high to be able to get to myself. Took some time for hotel to address this and they just removed the fire alarm instead of replacing batteries. No AC in the unit. Did not realize this was not standard in this region. So double check that rooms/units have AC if it's warm. It was fairly warm but not unbearable.

    Well located (very central). New apartment (not a room in the main hotel; an apartment just down the street). Large space, well furnished, bright, nice balcony.

    There was some confusion on arrival about which building we had booked. I would suggest changing the name 'classic' to 'modern' as then it is easier to distinguish between the two. I assumed on booking that 'classic' would be the traditional building, but that is called 'historic'. Reading other comments, it seems I am not the only one to have made this mistake. There were cups in the room, but no kettle. We asked for one from reception and they brought it to us, but wouldn't it be easier to just put kettles in all of the rooms?

    The room was modern and spacious with very comfy beds. Staff were nice and arranged a takeaway breakfast for us on departure as we had to leave for an early flight. The location is excellent for exploring the old town.

    We requested two single beds but had to pull them apart ourselves. The extractor fan in the bathroom wasn’t working and the air conditioning unit was so dusty we decided not to switch it on. There is a minibar and fridge in the room but no tea/coffee making facilities

    We mainly choose this hotel due to its location which is excellent. Located in the old town, it is ideal for sightseeing and restaurants/bars. However, despite being on the fifth floor and having double glazing, we could hear music from local bars well after midnight so one to avoid if you are particularly sensitive to sound. Public transport is a short walk away. The hotel has an old and quirky elevator we loved. The buffet breakfast had a good selection of food and drinks but don’t expect freshly squeezed orange juice as these prices. 24 hour reception provides peace of mind.

    There was mould in the shower and the shower doors were broken so fell off their rollers. The decor in the room was dated, the paintwork chipped, the floors had thick dust around the edges, there were cobwebs on the curtain pole and the curtain was hanging off the pole and was dirty and snagged. The staff on the restaurant didn't seem very happy.

    Great location close to the centre of town. There was a good spread at breakfast. Check out was relatively late, at 12pm.

    Just one tiny thing - the lift in the side building. The weight limit is low so there's no change to get in two people and their suitcases. But that's not a big deal - just go in there one by one.

    The hotel is in the old town city centre and close by to all the important tourist attractions and great restaurants. Our rooms were in the side building - well equipped. Breakfast was great and scrumptious. We loved the bread and the coffee - finally a tasty coffee after almost two weeks of travelling. Reception is open 24/7 and there's an old-fashioned lift ... I can recommend to use it, even if the breakfast is only one floor upstairs. Right next to the side building is a bar I need to recommend. It's the "Labor bar" - the decor is based on a laboratory. The shots come in test tubes and the drinks in 600mL beaker and some of them are glowing in black light. Just go there and check it out.
