Had an absolute lovely stay! Not too far from the city centre (about an 10 minute bus ride) and just a 15 minute walk if you’re taking the ferry to Tallin. The breakfast is delicious and the rooms are a great size. There is no microwave or fridge in the room, but it didn’t bother me. 100% would stay here again!

No sauna on site; but there is uusi sauna two blocks away. Rooms were just right. Breakfast was delicious. Parking is off site. 25min walk to city centre, but there is a tram that takes you right there easily. Really enjoyed my stay here, the art is so fun to look at!
