Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located just 2 minutes from the ferry port, offering a great breakfast. The rooms are simple with some limitations like no fridge and few TV programs; however, the noise from early morning deliveries can be bothersome.
The hotel is okay, but feels a bit basic for the price. The noise of early deliveries can be bothersome. The location is very convenient, especially for trips to Helsinki.
The hotel offers spacious rooms that are comfortable, though they could use some updating, with a big bed and sofa as well as a large bathroom that was provided instead of the double room booked. The decor has a dated feel but is still cozy enough, though having a fridge in the room would enhance the experience. The service was top-notch, with professional and helpful staff, though there were moments of inconvenience like the early removal of breakfast. The location is very convenient, especially for travelers using the Tallinnk ferry terminal, and the proximity to the Old Town adds to its appeal, even though there were some observations of lacking guest hospitality. The dining experience provided a variety of tasty options, particularly highlighting the eggs, sausages, pancakes, meatballs, and fresh bread, yet there were occasional misses like raw fish. The hotel facilities were decent, meeting basic needs with opportunities for improvement. Additional details include a highlight on the great location near the old town and ferry terminal, as well as the friendly staff, but there were some setbacks regarding cleanliness and guest hospitality.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were modern but lacked some essential amenities like a personal hygiene tap, and there was no air conditioning. The service was below par, with some staff being rude and invasive. On the bright side, the location was convenient, just a short walk from the old town. The dining experience was decent but sometimes overcrowded. Overall, a somewhat average stay with room for improvement.
The hotel's rooms were not very big but clean and pretty modern. However, they were too bright for a good night's sleep and felt quite stuffy. On the positive side, they were super basic.
The hotel was really optimistically colored and had a separate place for one child to sleep for free. The reception in the morning was a nice touch. However, the price could be more competitive.
The hotel has a great location between the sea-port and the old city's gates, perfect for those arriving in Talinn by ship. The rooms were comfortable and clean but were small for a group of four. The service was energetic but the staff struggled with local Estonian language. The dining experience offered good variety but was limited on basic food. The location provided excellent pool and sauna facilities, although it lacked character in the surrounding area.
The hotel had fresh-looking rooms but lacked air circulation and bathrobes. The service was initially disinterested but resolved issues swiftly. Location was perfect with easy access to the ferry and Old Town. The dining experience offered good variety but lacked some taste. The hotel facilities were up to standard, offering convenience.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The quiet room allowed for a good night's sleep, but the lack of a kettle for tea was a downside. The service was helpful overall, providing necessary information, but the issue of entering the room without knocking was off-putting. The location was conveniently close to Tallinn's Old Town, ideal for exploring on foot, yet there were concerns about dust mites. The dining experience was average at best, with limited food choices, and the facilities were acceptable but could be improved.
