Pros:

Tunnelmallinen. Ikivanhaan rakennukseen tehty pieni moderni hotelli, jossa on kaikki tarpeellinen, mutta ei mitään ylimääräistä. Mitkään äänet eivät häirinneet nukkumista.

A hotel relatively close to the harbor and the old town if one prefers that.
Pros:

- I arrived at the hotel before check-in time. I was actually just planning to drop off my luggage for sightseeing. However, my room was already ready so I was able to check in and leave my bag in the room.
- The woman at the reception was nice and accommodating.

Cons:

- I didn't like the cleaning lady opening the door at 10 when I'm supposed to check out at 12 on the day of departure. I didn't put up a sign asking for cleaning either. It should be better planned so they know when the guests have left the room/checked out.

Pros:

Mõnus, puhas, köepärane hea asukoht.

Cons:

Valisin hotelli selle järgi, et on suurepärane hommikusöök, aga ei olnud kuskil märgitud, et hommikusöök ei ole majutushinna sees.
