Emmanuel Latvia

We spent 3 nights this hotel. Great location, generous breakfast with a variety options and friendly staff. Old town within couple minutes walking distance. Excellent value for money.

Alexander Finland

convenient location- in the old town but at the edge so the tram stop was also close. Good breakfast and the stored our luggage after checkout

Hilary Canada

The room was clean and quiet, the breakfast was delicious.

Kateryna Ukraine

Location is amazing, being in the old city, ambience is great. Wide selection for breakfast options as well. The hotel itself is a part of the old medieval wall so it was a great piece of history (you can eat breakfast right next to the wall). Amenities and looks are all modern as well. Good blend of the past and present.

Matthew Singapore

I've been there several times. Really cozy hotel 🙂

Maarja Estonia

The location of the hotel. The restaurant - perfect meals

Emanuel Czech Republic

  • I’m coming from Helsinki on the ferry. What’s the best way to get to your hotel? Thank you : )
    Good day, Our hotel is located just 10-15 mins by walking from ferry terminals, so the best way is to have a short walk, or get a taxi, becouse public transport will be a little bit uncomfortable because of its routs. Administration
