Lovely view to Tallinn old town. breakfast was good but nothing special. Plenty of choice and food there. Coffee could be better for this class of hotel. Very good location. staff very friendly and they give you lots of information
Very good and comfortable bed – Tamara from Estonia (8/10)
Superior rooms are not in the main building. I have very nice view on the old town, but most rooms have view on the wall of the main building! The bed is excellent!
The breakfast was very rich but the plate could be more clean.Great location and view – Pavol from Slovakia (9/10)

It was very central
Very Good – Ingrid from Belgium (8/10)
I booked a hotel room with 2 beds with an extra bed for a child and the room was large enough to have room for 3 full size 1 pers beds and still leave room for moving around.
The room had a hardwood floor, which I always like.
I appreciate that we got a room with sea view.
Breakfast was great. It was super busy but everything was taken care of quickly, there was always enough food and no long queues. Enough choice and good quality food.
It was even possible for my mom to join the breakfast for 15 euros (which is really a steal for this breakfast).
Staff was helpful and friendly.Couple of nights in Tallinn – Alessandro from Finland (9/10)
Very good position, literally in the shopping mall Viru, and 2-3 mins walking to the old city of Tallinn. Parking is available in the shopping mall parking, for a bit less than 20 euros per day. Our family room was not too big, but enough for 2 adults and 2 kids and a dog. Beds quite comfy, there was also a desk from which you can do some remote work in case of need. WiFi was good.
Great. – Mari from Canada (8/10)
Great location, lovely staff, amazing view, breakfast bag for those who leave to airport too early to have breakfast at the hotel, champagne in check-in. Shampoo, lotion, etc in bathroom smelled good
