Service

Multiple comments highlight very friendly, warm and helpful staff (e.g. 'incredibly helpful and friendly', 'vastuvõtt oli soe, abivalmis'), supporting a top score for service.
Location
10
Consistently praised as central, quiet and convenient — close to the city centre and suitable for short car trips; parking directly at the hotel is repeatedly noted.
Room Quality
7
Rooms are described as large and characterful with pleasant decor, but there are repeated negatives: old/worn aspects of the hotel, too-soft/old mattress, damaged shower and some impractical bathroom features.
Amenities
7.5
Free parking and in-room kettle/fridge are positives; however, on-site breakfast/restaurant appears unavailable or permanently closed for many guests and sauna/service availability was unclear.
Value for Money
9
Given the strong location, free parking and friendly service, guests generally perceive good value; some wished breakfast were included in the price or complained about extra charges, but overall value is viewed positively.
Food and Beverage
6.5
A clear negative theme: multiple guests note lack of breakfast on site, restaurant closed, or breakfast only as an extra, lowering the score for food and beverage.
Overall Experience
10
Overall sentiment is very positive: many guests describe a lovely, charming stay (e.g. 'lovely place', 'absolutely brilliant experience'), especially for short stays, despite a few practical drawbacks.

muy bien
Pros:

muy bonito, tiene parking y no está lejos del centro.

Cons:

El personal no está en la recepción, salvo para darte las llaves, así que no te puede asesorar ni dar consejos de dónde están las cosas. El café cuasta 5 euros.
