The room was fine BUT as soon as we got into bed the nightclub 5m away across the passage started with EXTREMELY loud music and went on until about 6 AM. Couldn't get a wink of sleep. Swelteringly hot with windows closed (and still noisy), unbearable with them open because of the noise. Night staff very unhelpful when another guest asked for a room change, it didn't happen. Make sure you see your room before accepting it.

An excellent location right in the heart of the old town. Check in was hassle free and the room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was tasty and good options. The only two issues I had with the hotel was the lack of air conditioning in the room which meant I had to attempt to sleep with the windows open which meant a considerable amount of noise from the street from bars and late night revellers. Had my stay been longer I would probably have requested a room elsewhere in the hotel. All in all the hotel was a reasonable price and was located perfectly for exploring the city.

Used this hotel two years ago also and since then the quality unfortunately went down. Additional fees are not explained ahead of time. For example parking is paid, and you have to notify the receptionist at check-in, or you’ll be fined. Reaching out to hotel staff for help did absolutely nothing. The hotel is right in the Old Tallinn, and that’s the main reason I chose to stay here the first time, but I also received excellent service. The second time proved that without excellent service, I can find another hotel maybe not as close, but that would appreciate my business.

The city center - a great stay in the vicinity of dining, shopping, and old town places. The room I received was rather small, but okay for a night or two. The bed was comfortable and clean. The rug and the floor covers looked dated and ready to be replaced. The staff was courteous and helpful.

Excellent location in the old city. Perfect for exploring. 3 quick notes first if you are not used to bright sun between 4am - 12pm to blinds will not keep the room dark - easily rectified by use of an eye mask, second only one small elevator - be ready to wait or be happy to take the stairs some times, third you’ll have to walk a bit for food that isn’t in the tourist area - again only a problem if you choose it to be

Fine hotel, troublesome booking procedures.
Changes in booking was troublesome, and the hotels communication in Estonian language was not very useful. Otherwise good location and fine hotel. Breakfast has improvement potential.

Nightmare
Perfect location in the Old Town. Gives an impression of being "outdated and worn". No smiling staff! I was given a room on the 4th floor, with a view to another building in the same complex very close with distance maximum 4 metres. When, after dinner and a walk around the Old Town, I returned to the room. It then turned out that in the building I had a view of, there was a nightclub/bar with a terrace, also on the 4th floor. I had full access to the party! There was a full party and very loud music. This continued throughout the night. Absolutely hopeless! On my request at reception the following morning, if this really wasn't something I should have been informed about? Was the answer, "at the risk of you taking me as rude, I would ask you to read the description of the hotel better! This is Tallinn, a party city, and especially here in the Old Town, and then there is music and parties" I have read through the description given on Rixwell's website of the hotel. There is nothing to indicate that here you must be set on sleeping to pounding high bass, and an outdoor party on the terrace of the building 4 meters away. I cannot recommend this hotel and will naturally never stay there again

Nice hotel located just inside the old city walls, with large rooms, maybe slightly dated, but exceptional value for money. Friendly staff, and a great bakery/cafe underneath called Rukis which did great breakfasts. Would definitely stay again

The location of this property is awesome! It is literally a few steps from Viru Gate as you enter the Old Town, which is perfect for tourists. It has lots of cafes and restaurants as soon as you walk out of the hotel. The staff was very helpful. The room was very large and clean. The only thing I would want other guests to know is if you are staying here over the weekend, then it will be loud. There are lots of restaurants and bars downstairs that are open until 5am in the morning, so bring your earplugs! Other than that this hotel is excellent, and I would hands down stay here again when I come back to Tallinn!

Great location. Impatient welcome. Blood by the lift which wasnt cleaned off the carpet when i left, four days after noticing it. Needs new towels and the shower was blocked. Having said all of that, Ive stayed here many times before and been generally impressed, so I'll be hoping this is a blip instead of the start of a downward trend.
