Great location with beautiful views of Old Town from our hotel window. Rooms are small but efficient. Breakfast Buffet is extremely crowded. No coffee makers in rooms.

A great place to say

We stayed six nights at this hotel, which is centrally located. We had a junior twin room on the last floor, with a great view. It was spacious, comfy, very clean. The beds were very comfortable. Staff were very polite, professional and helpful. There were A LOT of options to chose from for breakfast. We would not hesitate staying at this hotel in the future, and we have no problem recommending it.

Central location which is easy to reach the old town. Even though the hotel was renovated, there is a sad feeling that this building is very old with wall scratches, mold in the bathroom, and patches all over the place.

The Front Desk Manager, Mr. Karmo Haavik, was fantastic! He was professional yet relatable, and sincerely interested in who we are as travelers and hotel guests (without being intrusive). We really enjoyed talking to him and he gave us great tips about the nearby places and events to enjoy. He really was wonderful! Thank you so much for such a lovely, memorable stay. Room #1609 has an amazing 180-degree view of Old Town, the newer parts and the Baltic Sea. Incredible! 👍😀🌞 Susie & Mitchel from Hawaii.
