I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was convenient, close to the Old Town and main square, but the room was small with no window and twin beds pushed together. The service was helpful, but the noise from the dining room terras could be a drawback. The dining options were limited to cold dishes, and the atmosphere felt dated in a Soviet-like setting.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was great, right in the center of Tallinn's Old Town, but there were some issues with noise from the courtyard area. The rooms lacked proper ventilation and natural light, resulting in a hot and stuffy atmosphere. The service was friendly overall, but there were moments of rudeness. Despite these drawbacks, the dining options were varied and satisfying, and the facilities were decent.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the room had a nice view onto a lovely internal courtyard with seating and places to store bicycles, it faced a noisy public area. Despite this, the room was quite comfortable. The service was a bit of a hit and miss, with some staff being rude and unhelpful while others were very helpful, efficient, and always smiling. The location was convenient, being only 5 minutes from the main square, but there were some communication issues with the reception staff. The dining experience had its ups and downs with a good variety but not always the best quality.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were reasonably sized and warm but smelled absolutely disgusting, like rotten eggs. It was inconvenient having to go outside to reach the breakfast room if your room is in the annex building. However, the location was great, being close to the Old Town center.

The hotel is centrally located in the old town, making it great for sightseeing but may not be ideal if you have heavy luggage. The rooms are clean and comfortable, although the lack of locking doors can be concerning. The staff is generally welcoming and helpful, but communication can be a bit challenging if you don't speak certain languages. The dining options are varied, although breakfast closing times could be more clearly indicated. Overall, a good value for the price with some minor inconveniences.
