Warto. Polecam
Pros:

Świetny hotel, klimatyczne wnętrza, smaczne śniadanie. Pomocny personel.

Cons:

Brak dużego okna w pokoju na trzecim pietrze. Jedynie mały lufcik przy podłodze. Śniadanie mogłoby być nieco bardziej urozmaicone. Jednak przy niewysokiej cenie za pobyt te uniedogodnienia nie mają większego znaczenia. Polecam każdemu, kto chce w krótkim czasie zwiedzić piękny Tallin.

Pros:

Authentische Herberge mit viel historischem Charme im Altstadtkern. Fahrräder konnten sicher im Innenhof abgestellt werden. Motorräder konnten kostenlos vor der Tür parken. Die Zimmer sind sehr klein und hellhörig - trotzdem super Preis/Leistung.

Dobry, ale są minusy
Pros:

Dobre położenie i klimatyczne wykończenia. Dobre śniadanie. Możliwość przechowywania bagażu.

Cons:

Na 4 piętro wejście po wąskich schodach. Brak wody rano i ograniczenie do stwierdzenia "mieliśmy awarię". Standard łazienki nie do końca zgodny z ilością gwiazdek.

Authentic historic charm with a great breakfast!
Pros:

This hotel is a beautiful ancient building made of dressed stone. The creaky hallway floors and historic walls really make you feel like you've traveled back in time.
The breakfast completely makes up for it—it was excellent, featuring sausages, chicken, omelets, salads, cereals, cottage cheese, and fresh pastries. A wonderful atmosphere with just one minor downside!

Cons:

The bathroom is updated, but unfortunately, the shower curtain is too short, leaving a massive puddle on the floor after you wash.

Hyvä paikka lyhyeen oleskeluun keskeisellä sijainnilla
Pros:

Sijaitsee todella keskeisesti Raatihuoneentorin ja Baltijaamin välissä. Lyhyt matka Toom Parkiin, mikä oli koiran kanssa matkustaessa hyvä juttu. Sain myös huoneen maantasosta hotellin perältä, jolloin ohikulkevien äänet eivät häirinneet lemmikkiä.

Cons:

Huone oli nuhjuinen ja lattia tuntui likaiselta. Ei ilmastointia. Huoneen ovi toimi huonosti ja oli vaikeuksia saada sitä lukkoon ja auki.

Pros:

Die Lage mitten in einer Stadt ist super, bietet sich auch für mehrtägige Besuche in Tallin an. Man kann von dieser Lage aus viel unternehmen und schnell mal zurück ins Hotel.Dieses Haus ist sehr originell. Die alte Baulichkeit ist gut in Szene gesetzt.

Cons:

Das Zimmer hatte nur eine Tür zu einem Innenhof, aber kein Fenster. jeder, der sich darin aufhält, (Innenhof war möbliert,) hineinsehen. Lüften schwierig, mit offener Tür und wegen Rauchern.
Das Haus ist verwinkelt und unübersichtlich, der Frühstücksraum im zweiten Stock.
Die Mitarbeiter sind desinteressiert.
