Great location and excellent value for money! Room was small but perfectly functional. Staff were always very helpful!
Not kettle in the room but as soon as I asked they provided one! So no complaints!

Great place with big windows and comfy bed. Everything was in walking distance and didn't need to use any transportation.
No table in the room to have breakfast in, but it wasn't a big deal.

I went for an overnight trip to Tallinn and was able to make a reservation for a very reasonable price through Booking.com. The location is excellent with easy access from the harbour as the hotel is located right across the street from the huge St. Olaf's Church on the Northern edge of the Old Town. Easy to find, just head for the towering church, you'll see the tower from almost anywhere. The hotel staff was really nice and friendly and I was able to check in before my own estimate, they had also taken my wish for an upper floor room and a wider bed into account. The room was absolutely spotless and very modern, the bathroom also had an underfloor heating – a very nice and compact room overall with a slanted ceiling and an arched window. The breakfast was excellent with a nice selection of varieties, absolutely worth the price (14 €). Extra credit for the excellent coffee!

Such a wonderful hotel right at the city center! I liked here so much. If you’re in Tallinn and planning one-day trip to Helsinki this hotel provides you the closes location to city centre (old town) and the Port at the same time! Highly recommend! Breakfasts are sooooo good here. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to enjoy one breakfast during my stay because I had to leave earlier than it starts. But the hotel manager suggested me to take some drinks to go and coffee That was so cute, thank you :)

It was affordable. The room suited our small family (3 total). The room was clean and even had a small refrigerator, which is unusual in most small hotels in Europe.
The hotel is on the edge of the old town. It’s a bit of a walk to anything, but Bolt is cheap and made for a great transportation option on cold days.

The location was excellent for me. I arrived to the train station. I just walked for 10 min to be in the hotel. To leave the city I had to be in the ferry terminal. It was just at 15 minutes from the hotel. Also, the main attractions are near by as well. The staff were super friendly. Finally, my room had a view to the Olaf church. Amazing view.
Like a suggestion, Although the buffet food was good, it would have been nice to have more variety.

Very Poor
I paid 77€ for a room (which is ok in this location), but had to stay in another place, because the room was just disgusting. I get it that rooms in the listings are well photographed and but the gap here is a tourist scam to me: the room was in the basement, the window was at the ceiling and couldn’t be opened/closed unless you have a ladder or something. So the air was musty and heavy - no way to sleep well. I found a nice place next door for half the price. Avoid this one and travel safe.
