Avoid.
1. This property has bed bugs.
2. This property is located over a karaoke bar and there's loud activity outside that continues to 5am that will prevent you from having a restful sleep.
3. Because of this convenient location to the night life in the old town, many people rent a room strictly to party all night and return frequently to nap for an hour to go out again. I saw many people bring cases of beer into their room while checking in.
4. This property does not enforce quiet rules after a certain hour.
5. Guests frequently smoke openly in the bathrooms and common areas.
6. The property does not have an attendant after certain hours.
7. While English is widely spoken in all the Nordic and Baltic countries, the attendants will feign not knowing English if they sense a problem.

Bedbugs! Homeless person sleeping in hallway of building location. Noise all night from the bars. 15 euro for a member of staff to call a cab. Good location.

They skimp on everything! No heat, they give you an extra blanket, that's why all the guests are cold! Mattress in room 4 needs to be replaced! Female Russian staff member so unhelpful. Check in is not welcoming; took me 25 minutes. I could not wait to get the hell out of there. The only good thing was the warm shower

I turn up and know one was there. Then a guy walked out said he work there and let me get in and walked down the street to not return. So I left because the place look not welcoming at all. And no one was there to check me.

Quarto extremamente limpo, as roupas de cama não são cobradas como diz no anúncio, é fornecido toalha para banho. A localização não tem como ser melhor, fica no coração de Talin. Tem cozinha grande com vários utensílios. Acomodação muito melhor do que eu esperava.

Good location but noisy environment

Centrally located in the Old City, however, brings your earplugs because the night life in the bars and clubs around goes until early morning
