Hea asukohaga ümpaatne hotell.
Pros:

Hommikusöök meeldis väga. Oli ka väga hea hommikusöögi teenindaja
Asukoht vanalinnas sobis meile ja see oli ka üks tingimusi, mille järgi hotelli valisime.

Cons:

Sisse registreerimine on väga keeruliseks tehtud. Abikaasal polnud ID kaarti kaasas ja muid dokumente ei arvestatud. Me pole välismaalased ja elame Eestis ja siin kehtivad ka teised dokumendid oma isiku tõestamiseks.

Pros:

Buvome atvykę savaitgaliui dviese. Viešbutis visiškai atitiko mūsų lūkesčius. Ypač norime padėkoti administratorei Olenai, kuri pasirūpino, kad įregistravimas ir išvykimas vyktų sklandžiai, nes mūsų skrydžiai buvo labai anksti. Viešbutis nedidelis, jaukus, pačiame senamiestyje, pusryčiai geri, kambarys patogus, turėjome gerą vaizdą pro langus.

Cons:

Viskas patiko 🙂

Beautiful location and comfortable spot
Pros:

The location is excellent, it is in the middle of Old Town and everything was on ideal walking distance. The view from our room was also very beautiful. Although the room was small it was clean and everything was available. Breakfast was excellent, Natalja who hosted the breakfast every morning during our stay was very kind and very hospitable.

Cons:

Plumbing was not ideal. The drain smelled a bit unclean and the water would stay in the shower.

Good location but mediocre facitilies and breakfast.
Pros:

Good location.

Cons:

Breakfast was mediocre. The room was quite small due to slanted ceilings that you could hit your head into. What was most odd was that there was no bed side tables. I needed to keep my glasses and phone either on the floor or on a table meters away.
