Nice hotel, reasonable value
Pros:

Nice staff, good breakfast, comfortable bed, room was clean and warm.

Cons:

Room was quite small. En-suite bathroom was also small, and shower arrangement (minimal screen) meant whole bathroom got very wet/flooded every time we used the shower.

Overpriced and very disappointing stay
Pros:

Location. That's it.

Cons:

We stayed 2 nights (2 people) and the room was ridiculously small. For almost €60 per night with breakfast included, we expected something much better. The beds were also smaller than a normal size, which made it even more uncomfortable.

The breakfast, which a lot of people seem to praise, was just average at best. Nothing special and a bit disappointing.

What really wasn’t okay is that our room wasn’t cleaned at all during our stay, even though we left the “please clean” sign on the door. When we asked at reception, the girl couldn’t really give us an explanation, and we had to at least ask for clean towels.

Overall, the price doesn’t match what you get. A simple renovation doesn’t justify charging this much. They really need to improve a lot of things.

Pros:

Hommikusöök oli selle hinna eest täiesti piisava valikuga ja maitsev. Asukoht minu ürituste ja käikude jaoks ideaalne.

Cons:

Küttesüsteemi müra on veidi häiriv. Eks selleks vist ongi kõrvatropid saadaval. Põranda puhtus ei olnud päris korrektne. Palja jalu võttes oli tunda, et põrand kleepub natuke.
