Expensive price for average hotel. Front staff very friendly though.
Pros:

The staff at the front desk were super friendly and helpful. Navigating Tallinn, figuring out where things were, suggesting experiences.

Cons:

The room itself was way too hot. Thankfully, the hotel provided a fan. I felt that for the money I paid, the hotel was not worth it. Eg. no free coffee, not kettle in room. No safe in room.

Es waren fünf schöne Tage in Tallinn .
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt am Rande der Altstadt, alle Sehenswüdigkeiten, schöne Lokale und auch Bus und Straßenbahn sind gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Besonders schön für uns war, dass wir vom Fenster aus die abends beleuchtete St. Olav's Church sehen konnten. Service und Frühstück waren gut und ausreichend!

Cons:

Wir waren rundum zufrieden!

Tolle Lage, gut für kleine Menschen
Pros:

Super Lage, direkt an die Altstadt

Cons:

Sehr kleines Zimmer, winziges Bad und sehr kleine Betten. Ein kleines Zimmer stört mich normalerweise nicht, weil ich dort eh nur schlafe und Dusche, aber diese Betten waren außergewöhnlich kurz und schmal, definitiv zur klein für mich (197 cm). Dazu kam die kleine Dusche, es war nicht möglich zu duschen ohne dass der Duschvorhang sich ständig an mich geklebt hat.

Good for weekend getaway
Pros:

Location and interior.

Cons:

Room was poorly ventilated and no AC. Only option is to keep window open (which in summer is ok), but then noises come in.
