I have travelled the world extensively for over 6 decades and have very rarely come across such an incredibly good value for money place as this hotel and one where the staff are happy to accommodate your requests and do so with a smile. There is an included breakfast (7am to 10am), afternoon tea (3pm to 5pm) and dinner (6pm to 8pm). This is a full of character place which is extremely well located. Tram 4 drops you right at its doorstep.

Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. We appreciated the option to have our room cleaned at our own chosen schedule. Really good buffet breakfast and dinner included. Interesting history as a former prison facility, now very nicely converted to a comfortable hotel. Convenient location, just a short walk to the ferry terminal if you are taking a side trip to Tallinn or other cities), and not too far from the city center; about a mile to the railroad station.

Good but ....

Food and service around food was excellent. Room very good size but lacking drawers and storage. Nightdress taken when beds changed. Relative lack of concern or care about this. After one week, still not found.

Is it strange to say a stay in a former prison was comfortable and convenient? This hotel is a gem. Very helpful and friendly staff. Easy to find, very walkable and steps to public transport. The option to enjoy daily Fika and a nightly meal on site were a nice touch.

A great location for anybody visiting the city as a tourist. The tram stop at the entrance brings you to the centre (but it's a easy 10 min walk) and also will bring you to the ferry terminal, the main train station to change for the airport. Staff were friendly, room was very comfortable, high quality linens and bed, very quiet at night (built in soundproofing due to being an old building). Breakfast and dinner was included and it was great and good value too. Would certainly stay again.

Unique stay with a few practical issues

The history of the hotel was interesting and the staff served us well. It was also fascinating to learn more about the building’s past as a former prison. We had booked a room with a bathtub, but unfortunately, the pop-up drain plug didn’t work properly and got stuck. The staff offered us another room, but changing rooms in the evening with small children is not easy. We were refunded the extra fee for the bathtub, but it still affected our experience since we couldn’t use it at all. The hotel is definitely worth visiting, but I hope they ensure that everything works as expected in the future.

An Unforgettable Stay in a Unique Hotel This hotel is truly exceptional! Housed in a former prison, it has managed to preserve its original spirit while transforming into a cozy and welcoming place. The rooms are arranged in an unusual and creative way, which adds to the charm and makes the stay even more memorable. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of fresh and flavorful options. Dinner is also available, and it’s just as impressive. Despite the building’s history, the atmosphere is warm and homely — you feel completely at ease from the moment you arrive. Highly recommended for anyone looking for something different and full of character!
