Mainio sijainti, ei ilmastointia
Pros:

Sijainti on mitä mainioin Olevisten kirkon vieressä. Hotellissa on vanhan talon tunnelma. Huoneesta hieno näkymä Olevisten kirkolle päin.

Cons:

Ilmastointi puuttuu. Lämpimänä kesäpäivänä kirkon puoleiset huoneet kuumenevat vaikka pimennysverhot pitäisi kiinni koko päivän.

Stadthotel für Kurzaufenthalt
Pros:

Schöne Lage, direkt an der Innenseite der Stadtmauer. Das Stadtzentrum ist zu Fuß bequem erreichbar.

Cons:

Die Zimmer haben Hostel-Charakter und sind sehr klein, so dass es für 2 Personen nur eine Sitzmöglichkeit und nur eine Gepäckblagemöglichkeit gibt.

Pros:

Very nice breakfast, excellent location (in that it wasn’t right in the middle of the busy area but a short walk to it).

Cons:

I was in a single room and the shower was so small it was almost comical. If you are someone who doesn’t like a wet shower curtain touching you this is not the hotel for you, at least in a single room.

War ok.
Pros:

Die Lage war gut

Cons:

Das Personal war sehr unfreundlich. Wir hatten ein Doppelzimmer mit Frühstück gebucht und ich habe es unter meinen Namen reserviert. Da ich nur meinen Namen bei der Reservierung angegeben habe musste meine Frau das Frühstück bezahlen.

Mooie dagen. Een terugkeer in Tallinn, waar we al een goede herinnering aan hadden.
Pros:

De plek hadden we bewust gekozen, was ook helemaal prima als uitvalshoek voor de Oude Stad en Rotermanni kwartier. Konden dat allemaal belopen.

Cons:

niets

Mukava ja siisti hotelli vanhankaupungin laidassa.
Pros:

Kiva pieni siisti hotelli. Hyvä aamiainen

Cons:

Kylpyamme aina hankalampi käyttää kuin suihku. Respan tytöille kannattaisi pitää asiakaspalvelusta koulutus ja kerätä puhelimet pois työajaksi. Ei pysäköintimahdollisuutta.
