Great for city trip
Excellent location, next to the old town with a great view over the city. Parking is close and there's an excellent Mexican restaurant. Breakfast is also very good.
Downside is that the sound isolation could be much better. From outside (trams) and also from neighbouring rooms.

New year day
Stayed in Tallinn for 2 nights. The location was great. It was directly connected to the shopping mall and within walking distance of the old town. The rooms are old but well maintained. The beds are not too old, but the view from the rooms is good. The breakfast is delicious and has a wide variety of items. This is a recommended hotel in Tallinn.

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.

Without any electric kettle /coffee /tea
The Hotel is good, however, there is no electric kettle and coffee or tea in the room available. for me it was quite strange as nowadays almost all of the hotels provided the electric kettle with coffee & tea at rooms.

Love the location..have stayed there several times over the years, BUT...it's time to update the rooms, furniture and fixtures included. They have not hardly changed since my first visit in. 1974 !!!

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! 👍😀🌞

Room were semi clean and would need a bit updating. Bed were super soft, read too soft.
Our Windows were Open when we went to the room and we were not able to close it because handle was gone.
Reseption workers were nice and hotel in total were worth of money. Hotel also remembered bithdayperson with nice gift.

Breakfest was really bad, as in all the Sokos hotels. The bacon/dryed meet is joke. I paid 15€ for it and it wasn’t worth it. In hotels the breakfest is 35% of the whole experience. For me at least. And also would be nice if there is local food or something what the place is knows for. Karelian pie in Tallinn???

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
