Pros:

Puiki vieta miesto centre. Visos lankytinos vietos pasiekiamos pėsčiomis, netoliese - traukinių stotis, geras susisiekimas su kitomis miesto dalimis. Šalia viešbučio - didelis pasirinkimas maitinimosi įstaigų, prekybos vietų ir kultūrinių įstaigų.

Väga hea kogemus.
Pros:

Asukoht väga hea. Hommikusöök väga mitmekesine. Toad puhtad ja mugavad.

Cons:

Voodi oli hea. Kahjuks meenutasid padjad pigem kive, kui mugavaid peaaluseid.

Pros:

Location
Excellent breakfast
Staff very helpful
MAS restaurant excellent

Cons:

30 euro extra to upgrade for 3 nights was definitely not worth it. There was no complimentary bottle of water. The coffee cups & glasses were not refreshed at all. Rubbish bin in bathroom never emptied. The bathrobe and coffee making facility was the extra & not worth 30 euros.
Checking in was very slow.

Konsertresa med övernattning
Pros:

Detta är ett pålitligt hotell som har ett bra läge. Personalen är vänlig och kunnig. Standarden på både rummen och servicen är god. Frukosten är till belåtenhet. Mångsidiga utrymmen.

Cons:

Det här är inget egentligt klagomål utan mer ett konstaterande. Det finns inget som riktigt sticker ut och gör hotellet speciellt och personligt men så är det med kedjehotell överlag.

Établissement très moyen
Pros:

L'emplacement.

Cons:

-Vélo inclus dans la chambre mais impossible
1) de réserver un horaire
2)Nombre de vélos insuffisant par rapport au nombre de voyageurs... Limite de la publicité mensongère quand on doit choisir entre 2 hotels
-Alarme incendie :annonce trop longue en finlandais donc incompréhensible puis annonce secondaire en anglais.. Aucune alarme visuelle.. Pour les gros dormeurs qui n'entendent pas ou les malentendants, c'est très risqué.
-Pas de possibilité d'avoir la chambre à 15h.. Alors que dans d'autres hôtels, on nous ouvre une chambre dès 13h00 pour des hôtels de même tarif (Novotel Tallinn ou Gamla Stan BTW Signature a Stockholm par exemple
