Pros:

Sehr zentrale Lage, antike Architektur .

Cons:

Vielleicht gibt es ja auch bessere Zimmer. Unseres war muffig, das Fenster war verschraubt und konnte nicht geöffnet werden. Das Bad war blitzsauber, mit einer freisteheden Badewanne inmitten des Raumes, ohne Duschvorhang o. ä. Eher nicht sehr sinnvoll.

A nice place to stay
Pros:

Excellent location Very clean and spacious place, staff was really good and helpful whenever we needed help. Stylish design in the room.

Cons:

There was not a shower, only a bath which was not convenient, no curtains so that bathroom floor was full of water after use. As the room was on the ground floor in the backyard I left the door opened for a while to refresh the inside air and a huge rat 🐀 entered the room....fortunately I shouted and ran outside immediately I think the backyard needs some more repair to avoid similar incidents.

Perfect location, charming hotel and a fantastic staff team.
Pros:

Fantastic location, so close to the main square. All of Tallinn old town is walkable from the hotel. The staff were all so friendly, welcoming and helpful. A cooked breakfast and buffet meant a good start to every day.

Pros:

Tuba oli suur ja voodi mugav, kapis nii sussid kui ka hommikumantlid. Väga vaikne hotell suurepärases asukohas. Hommikusöök oli maitsev, sai tellida omletti või muna erineval moel ning putru. Kohv oli hea ja oli ka piisavalt puuvilju.

Cons:

Kogu hotell on pisut väsinud. Põrandakatted vanad ja vannituba on kardinaga ning tahaks uuendamist. Mõnus sisehoov oleks eriti mõnus peale kerget värskenduskuuri.
