Firstly the young lady working during the weekdays was so kind and helpful. She was very helpful with anything I needed. My room is one of single rooms where was very clean. It was hard to close the curtains seems a little outdated. This did not spoil anything there. Bed was super comfortable and nice shower in the bathroom It is a great location. So easy o get around. I was able to walk all of old town from the hotel. Breakfast was very good. Lots to choose from.

This was a very nice hotel with attentive staff. It is located within the old town so there was so much that was very close--including just outside of old town.

The only downside was my window faced a sort of back ally that was secured for use of the hotel and restaurant only (no stragglers used it). Sadly there were times I would have my windows open and have to shut them because of someone smoking stinky cigarettes below.

Other than that--it was a perfect stay there.

The location makes this hotel by being within walking distance to everything in the old town. Only a 1 minute walk to Viru Gate. The prices during the week were very competitive, but more expensive at the weekend. The room was clean and had what we needed. The breakfast was served a long time and had cereal, porridge, eggs, sausage, fruit, cheese, salami, salad, fish and breads.

Unfortunately, the heating in the second room did not work, even on Maximum, the room was very cold.
Overall the hotel needs definitely renovation inside the building.

Great location, right next to the Viru Gate. Easy walking access to Old Town. Room was comfortable. Was surprised to find ear plugs amongst the provided toiletries and then realized why. On Friday and Saturday nights, there is definitely noise from festivities (usual bar crowd) outside. It's not overbearing but definitely noticeable. Did not have the noise Thursday and Sunday nights. Would recommend staying here despite noise.

Swelteringly hot with windows closed (and still noisy), unbearable with them open because of the noise. Night staff very unhelpful when another guest asked for a room change, it didn't happen.

An excellent location right in the heart of the old town. Check in was hassle free and the room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was tasty and good options.
The only two issues I had with the hotel was the lack of air conditioning in the room which meant I had to attempt to sleep with the windows open which meant a considerable amount of noise from the street from bars and late night revellers. Had my stay been longer I would probably have requested a room elsewhere in the hotel.
All in all the hotel was a reasonable price and was located perfectly for exploring the city.

Used this hotel two years ago also and since then the quality unfortunately went down. Additional fees are not explained ahead of time. For example parking is paid, and you have to notify the receptionist at check-in, or you’ll be fined. Reaching out to hotel staff for help did absolutely nothing. The hotel is right in the Old Tallinn, and that’s the main reason I chose to stay here the first time, but I also received excellent service. The second time proved that without excellent service, I can find another hotel maybe not as close, but that would appreciate my business.

Nightmare

Perfect location in the Old Town. Gives an impression of being \"outdated and worn\". No smiling staff!
I was given a room on the 4th floor, with a view to another building in the same complex very close with distance maximum 4 metres. When, after dinner and a walk around the Old Town, I returned to the room. It then turned out that in the building I had a view of, there was a nightclub/bar with a terrace, also on the 4th floor. I had full access to the party! There was a full party and very loud music. This continued throughout the night. Absolutely hopeless!
On my request at reception the following morning, if this really wasn't something I should have been informed about? Was the answer, \"at the risk of you taking me as rude, I would ask you to read the description of the hotel better! This is Tallinn, a party city, and especially here in the Old Town, and then there is music and parties\" I have read through the description given on Rixwell's website of the hotel. There is nothing to indicate that here you must be set on sleeping to pounding high bass, and an outdoor party on the terrace of the building 4 meters away.
I cannot recommend this hotel and will naturally never stay there again

The location of this property is awesome! It is literally a few steps from Viru Gate as you enter the Old Town, which is perfect for tourists. It has lots of cafes and restaurants as soon as you walk out of the hotel. The staff was very helpful. The room was very large and clean. The only thing I would want other guests to know is if you are staying here over the weekend, then it will be loud. There are lots of restaurants and bars downstairs that are open until 5am in the morning, so bring your earplugs! Other than that this hotel is excellent, and I would hands down stay here again when I come back to Tallinn!

Det är ett okej hotell - varken mer eller mindre. Det är slitet och fläckigt men rent och har inget extra. Vi hade dessvärre rum med \"utsikt\" mot en tegelvägg och därmed också mot gatan där barerna är öppna till 03. Hotellet är otroligt lyhört både utifrån och mellan rummen.
Frukosten var öppen länge, god och varierad med bra kaffe och väldigt god äggröra.

Sammanfattningsvis ett hotell av den sämre kvalitén men med ett mycket bra läge innanför muren.

Pluspoäng dock för kylskåpet på rummet, man kunde ha lite egen mat där. Finns ett mycket trevligt café i bottenvåningen där man också kan äta lättare frukost.
