Nice and convenient hotel
Pros:

A nice hotel with a great location! You can get there with your luggage without having to cross too many cobble stone streets. We were happy that there was a room for three even if it was a bit small. The stone building collects heat in the summer so the room was quite warm but there were two fans and the windows could be opened. The weather was cool outside so it was ok, but when it gets really hot outside it might be a bit too unpleasant. Otherwise we got all we needed, everything was clean, the staff was friendly and the breakfast was ok. It wan also quiet even if we had our windows on the same side with the main entrance and first floor.

Pros:

Приятный отель в центре старого города. Удобно добираться и выходить гулять по прекрасному Таллину. Ночью захотелось попить водички, удобно, что на стойке регистрации можно приобрести напитки. С чемоданом удобно добираться. Сам номер приятный, просторный и чистый.

Единственное не было кондиционера, но нам не помешало приоткрыть окошко на ночь и спокойно уснуть.

Pros:

Labai gera lokacija,pačiame senamiestyje.Visi lankomi objektai bei parduotuvės šalia,netriukšminga.Pusryčiai sotūs įvairus pasirinkimas.Kambarys švarus.

Cons:

Labai mažas ir suspaustas kambarys.Dviese būnant ilgesnį laiką pradeda slėgti maža erdvė.Automobilių parkingo šalia nėra,reikia kiek paeiti,o tai problematiška kai lauke smarkiai lyja.Aprašyme nurodyta kad automobilį galima laikyti viešoje aikštelėje,bet nepaminėtas koks atstumas iki jos.

Very nice hotel with excellent location
Pros:

Excellent Location, great breakfast. ALL the staff very helpfull. Silent street where the hotel is.

Cons:

We were on the ground floor, and with very big Windows everybody could see inside of the room from street. As we were most of the time out, we did not complained or ask for another room. This is the only “negative” about our stay.

Pari yötä riittää
Pros:

Huone oli siisti ja aamiainen ihan ok. Helppo kulkea hissillä tai portaita pitkin. Hyvällä paikalla kun liikuimme muuallakin autolla. Lyhyt matka Telliskiven alueelle ja puistoja ympärillä paljon (koirat).

Cons:

Huone oli todella pieni kahdelle henkilölle ja kahdelle pienelle koiralle eikä siellä ollut ilmastointia vaikka hotelli on remontoitu. Ilmapuhallin ja ikkuna auki, niin pystyi olemaan ja nukkumaan, onneksi ei ollut helle.

Ihan hyvä hotelli, mutta en suosittelisi hellekautena.
Pros:

Asiallinen aamiainen. Kaunis vanha rakennus. Miellyttävän pieni hotelli.

Cons:

Ilmanvaihtoa ei ollut, eikä toisessa huoneessamme ollut kunnon tuuletinta. Huoneiden ikkunat olivat katon rajassa niin, että näkymistä ei voinut nauttia.
