Pros:

Breakfast

Cons:

Does not meet expectations for a 4 star hotel. Rooms were quite small, beds were very uncomfortable and the hotel building itself was really old as well.

Pros:

Hyvä sänky

Cons:

Remontti, joka vaikutti siihen, että ruokailu toisessa rakennuksessa. Remontista olisi pitänyt kertoa varauksen yhteydessä.

Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels zum Stadtzentrum und zum Fährhafen Richtung Tallin war sehr gut.

Cons:

Das Hotel befand sich derzeit in Renovierung. Daraus ergaben sich extrem lange Wege zu unserem Zimmer. Das Zimmer war sehr dunkel. Fenster ging nicht zu öffnen. Parkplätze in Hotelnähe sind sehr limitiert und teuer. Frühstück gab es über die Straße im Kongresszentrum. Das Frühstück war mäßig. Der Frühstücksraum hatte den Charme einer Bahnhofshalle.

Pros:

Hyvä, iso huone. Yllätys, että ylin kerros 👍.
Ainut miinus on, että siivoojalla oli jäänyt luuturätti
Kylppärin pesualtaaseen. Mutta sattuuhan sitä.

Pros:

Sijainti oli erinomainen. Auton sai hyvin parkkiin. Aamupala oli monipuolinen myös gluteiinitonta oli hyvin tarjolla.

Cons:

Remontti vähän häiritsi - mm kulku huoneisiin oli vaikeutunut ja aamupalan sijainti toisessa rakennuksessa.
