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.

The staff at the desk are not at all nice. We stayed at this hotel for 3 days and whenever we asked them to clean the room and also have clean towels they never did that. My husband made the reservation for the same day twice by mistake and they refused to change the date to rhe correct day or to refund us. The property does not seem clean. The tooms were not cleaned properly.
