Very smart location in the center of the old town. Old design but modern facilities. Comfy beds, simple but good breakfast. The staff is very polite and helpful.

The first room offered to us smelled of mould and was tiny although I paid for a standard room. I booked the room quite in advance so they can't say it was the last available one. I asked to change and the second room was above the night club where the loud music played until 5am. There is no coffee, or tea, or water in the room. Very bad experience

The location is fantastic. The property feels old, which may be by design for its location. The night staff was a little snarky when i arrived just before midnight. But the young woman who was at the front desk during the day was phenomenal. She was super helpful and friendly. The accommodations are good, though i could hear the guest in the room next door snoring! :)
On location, this is a sure win.

Baltic family vacation.
Staff was very friendly when we checked in late at night and they were all prepared for us when we arrived. In the morning the free breakfast was very tasty and plentiful. Bedroom was very clean and they put us on the floor we requested. Hotel is in the heart of all the activity and tourist spots are walkable.

Right in old town and very affordable! The building itself is very charming, and the staff are very helpful if you have any issues. The cleanliness is questionable, but taking the age of the hotel and the price it’s forgivable. The breakfast buffet is kind of dismal, I would just stick to the poppyseed rolls and coffee, but maybe it depends on the day.

Not great
Got no sleep at all, if there is 30degrees outside, its at least 60 inside the room. No AC, and small window which didnt help at all. Hotel kinda labyrinth. Breakfast were mid, everything were finished all the time. Location were really good tho, and maybe it would be bearable to stay during winter season.

A quirky converted property with old features. It is in the old town with plenty of cafes and a 24 hour shop close by. It is also handy for the ferry terminal from which you can get to Helsinki in 2 hours. OK breakfast in a room upstairs, not suitable if you have mobility problems.

Lovely old building, clean and tidau, breakfast was good. Reception was helpful. Location is perfect.
Only negatives were that we were on 5th floor. Which is a bit of a hike, especially with luggage. Also it was really hot on a night, I ended up opening the window despite it being - 8 outside. But understandable because it's such an old building but may not be for everyone.

The breakfast staff were aggressive. Even before the breakfast hours were over, they started to clear away the food and started to mop the floor, to make us leave faster. They even turned off the lights 10 minutes before the breakfast hours ended. The actually food wasn’t so good, but the service was horrible.

Avoid these hotel when you would like to find your hotel room again. The hotel is a maze, 5 level of rooms, stairways not direct connected, no lift, it is a real pain searching for your room with your luggage in the hands. Never again.

The location of the property is perfect. Very close to town square with plenty of wonderful restaurants close by and 24 hour convenient store on the corner. Lots of fun finding short cut tunnels through Old City Tallin and short cut stairwells through the hotel “maze”. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom was small but good hot water although poor ventilation. Rooms were warm and toasty. Floors in hotel room were dirty and we used the bath towels to wipe down the floors ourselves. I wish they would have vacuumed or mopped before we arrived which was late at 1800.

4 floors no elevator, so not for restricted people
Hotel is a 4 floors of labyrinth. No elevators. Not friendly staff. But building is nice and in excellent location. No aircon, so rooms in upperfloors can be hot on summer. Breakfast wasn't anyhow special, fairly limited selection but edible. But in the end be happy if you got an option to travel around.

Perfect location and nice old style concept for the property. Unfortunately quite few cons...
The service was not the best, a bit cold.
The rooms are small and "old" not only in the style - the bathrooms frozen as lacking of an heating system.
We changed room because of some bad smell and could choose between 2 available: 1 with less smell, the other one where somebody just smoked in.
Basic breakfast, didn't really satisfied us in quality and choices.

The hotel is old and therefore it is not new, logically. That’s why I don’t understand people complaining about the hotel not being modern.. it’s not modern because it’s old and it should be like that. The hotel was amazing. The only thing I didn’t like was the guy at the reception could do better to arrange early breakfast for me and my partner, which we didn’t get at all. Ok, I get it, we were 2h late to ask for it. But the service should be the same at 1 star hotel and 5 stars hotel - staff should always give their best. If guests ask for a simple sandwich and you have a huge kitchen 50m away from you, you go and make a sandwich and it is very simple, or I don’t know, you do something, you still had 10 hours to figure it out how to make it possible. I mean, it’s a small thing, I will buy a sandwich somewhere else (which I later did), no problem, but it’s the small things that make everyone’s stay better. And if you can do it, you do it, you don’t try to find excuses not to do it. Other than that and a very small room (502), everything else was amazing. It was very clean, thank you whoever was taking care of our room! Breakfast was amazing! Cheers! <3
