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!

Amazing Arts Hotel with great stuff and a welcoming atmosphere . Thanks to Malin and her Team for making this stay so special for us. Supermarkets, Restaurants and a pub with afterwork beer for just 5€ are close by. Especially top located (2 tram stations) when planning a Tallink trip to Tallin. Breakfast has always a wide variety. Thanks for having us. Strongly recommended!

A really good hotel away from the busy streets. Easy access to the city centre and close to the sea. The breakfast is not huge since they moved it upstairs, but there's about everything you could need. I was happy with it.

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!
