When we come back to Tallinn we will definitely stay here again
Pros:

Location is the best, easy walk to the old center and right next to the newer part of Tallinn. The hotel is actually connected to a shopping mall with a great food hall. There is a great view from the rooftop bar, perfect for watching sunsets.

Cons:

The breakfast buffet was good with wide food selection, however lacked some niceties like choices of coffee or juices. Staff was super nice and on top of things.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE
Pros:

The location is great. Breakfast is fine, but full and unconfortable.

Cons:

This is a horrible hotel! Ruined my entire trip to Tallinn. I was put in an old room on the 21st floor, dirty and with a horrible smell. You will find tons of reviews online about this problem. Health and safety inspection should shut this floor down. Yet they still put people in this floor, which clearly has structural issues and should not be receiving guests. The bathroom looked gross, carpets were diagusting as if from the 80s. I could not sleep because of the smell. I was moved to a new room the next morning and told they were putting me in the last renovated room they had, as if they were doing me a favor (right!). The bathroom is insane and impossible to shower (small, no separation between wet area and toilet, so the toilet area is damp with water). The light scheme is insane and one has to get up all the time to turn on and off the lights. There was a dirty beer bottle inside the drawer of the new room. The bed was so awful, the top slid off fell in the middle of the night. They do not clean the room unless you ask and this is in the fine print. They don't even give you a ticket to leave your bag there after check out. They just say put your bag in a locked room and they are not responsible for it. There is NO way this is a 4 star hotel. 2 star at best. DO NOT STAY HERE!

Heel matig.
Pros:

Het ontbijt en de locatie zijn het enige goede van dit hotel

Cons:

Receptionist was bij ontvangst zonder enige aanleiding buitengewoon onbeschoft. Hotel is oud, ontbijtzaal erg ongezellig. Badkamer stonk, beddengoed niet fris. Kamer wordt enkel op verzoek schoongemaakt bij langer verblijf. De prijs van de kamer rechtvaardigt dit niet.

Oli kyllä hienoinen pettymys.
Pros:

Sijainti ja näkymä huoneesta meren suuntaan

Cons:

Huonetta piti vaihtaa kahdesti hajuongelmien vuoksi. Tyynyistä osa oli muhkuraisia ja vanhoja. 24.5 asteinen huone oli kuuma! Aamiaisen kahvi oli huonoa. Gluteenittoman tuotteet olivat vähissä.

Pros:

Silenzioso. Posizione eccellente vicinissima al centro storico e anche al porto, nel caso si voglia raggiungere la vicina Helsinki. Colazione abbondante e varia.

Cons:

Sarebbe stato il massimo avere anche frigorifero e cassaforte in camera, ma va bene lo stesso

Üleüldiselt korralikult puhas ja ilus hotell, tuleks veelgi.
Pros:

Hotelli vaade oli hea, nägi mõlemat vana ja uut linnaosa. Magamiskoht oli mugav ja sai hästi õhtul magatud.

Cons:

Vetsus kui lasin vee peale pärast kastust, läksin ma hotelli ruumist välja, tagasi tulles oli ikka vetsus pottis samma hääl nagu just oleks kasutatud, vetsu pott oli minu meelest katki.
