I wasn’t expecting much… and wow was I blown away by the quality and the views this hotel offered. It makes me want to return to Tallinn simply to just stay at this hotel again. However even though I understand it’s for safety purposes the locking of the front doors at night to exit was very confusing to me. Next time I will talk to the receptionist about it so maybe I won’t have such an issue going out for a smoke at night. Overal 10/10

Not a 4-star hotel
Location is great — hotel is just a few minutes walk from the old towns, and connected to a busy mall. However the hotel itself is far from 4-star. The rooms are old and decrepit. Curtains barely close the windows. Beds are old and worn. The bathroom looked like a remnant of the 80s.

Good location
Месторасположение очень хорошее и очень удобная кровать. Собственно это главные плюсы. Завтрак хороший с большим выбором. Вид из окна на залив - хорошая добавка. Но есть несколько моментов для улучшения. Во-первых есть странный запах и в корридоре и в комнате. Так и не удалось понять - это от старости или какой-то спрей от насекомых, короче очень неприятный запах. В стандатрной комнате нет сейфа и минибар пустой. В комнате повышенного уровня superior в отдельном и современном здании, запаха нет в комнате и сама комната очень большая и удобная.

Worst hotel stay in 30 years!
Appalling hotel. It’s a Soviet era hotel that hasn’t been upgraded much since. Surly and unhelpful front desk staff. I arrived at 11pm to be told that all of the facilities were closed - the bars, the nightclub, room service everything (apparently they’re ‘hoping some might reopen in a month or 2’). The minibar fridges are set so warm that they are totally ineffective and there’s no mixers (like tonic) anyway. The bathrooms remind me of crappy Bournemouth hotels in the ‘70’s. Baths that don’t fit the space, cheap adjustable shower rail with nasty plastic shower curtain. Generally, it’s just a really bad hotel - especially when there are so many far better, newer ones all around. The only thing I can say in its favour was that the view from my 17th floor window was good. Tallinn is tiny and you can walk everywhere in a few minutes - don’t be taken in by it’s location as I was. There are several much, much better options within a block or 2. Also, def avoid the weekends when it fills up with drunk Finnish kids!
