Great location, walkable to old town and the market. Breakfast was great. My only concern is that the bedroom re add on dusty, the window closing so dusty. My ring fell on the floor so I have to look for it, when I moved the side table, discovered that the room needs vacuuming thick dust under the bed and side table. If bed is being move and vacuum it even on a weekly basis, it won’t accumulate such dust. Thank you

Very friendly staff

Stayed here before, and enjoyed my stay so came back again. Reception staff are so lovely and willing to help, as well as restaurant staff. Room had strange issue where reading light could not be switched on if main light was off. Also power sockets turned off when main light was switched off. This was a small issue, and did not happen last time. Overall a great stay

Nice hotel.

Pleasant hotel, tidy and clean bedroom and bathroom. Continental style breakfast with a cooked egg/sausage/bacon option was adequate. Ten minutes walk from the centre. An English channel on the TV would have been nice, similarly milk to go with the coffee and kettle.

Breakfast

The morning's breakfast is a disaster due to the lack of seating , people had to stand a wait during so made getting your breakfast more difficult due to lack of room to move . The room is far to small to hold for breakfast . The cups in the room still had tea stain in them .

Bed bugs. In room.

We arrived, late on Sunday night and checked into the room. I turned on the heating in the room. And went to bed. The following morning. I itched a little,but went down for the good breakfast and out for the day. When I got up the following morning. The room has warmed up and I was covered with about 12 bits and on closer inspection I found bed bugs. I took a picture and went to reception and they moved me to another room. After that, everything was fine.

“Okay” for one night with included breakfast

The room looked better in the pictures than in real life. I had booked one double bed for two people, but they gave us two separate beds pushed together. That would have been fine, but they also provided two small, separate blankets instead of one large one.

This hotel is one for the books. It is conveniently located in a quiet portion of the city but still accessible to public transport and food stores. Employees were well-versed in English and had no difficulty communicating with them. The rooms are also clean and tidy and the most important thing is there is a water heater for tea and coffee which I really appreciate. Breakfast is also a delight as it promotes Baltic specialities like the herring which I love.
