Old and cheap hotel in the heart of the old town *

Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A A

The hotel is very centrally located in the old part of town and is therefore for a city break in Tallinn and in good condition. The breakfast was good and sufficient. The rooms are quite small and the furnishings in the entire hotel probably original old. The room was clean and with a flat screen tv, good selection and safe equipped, with a window facing the inner courtyard. Contrary to other reviews, it was quiet at night in our room. The hotel has no elevator. The hallways are narrow and concorted. For handicapped ones absolutely unsuitable. From Tallinn airport runs the line two in a few minutes to Tallinn center. With the bus driver you pay 1,60 euros. We are at the bus station 'A. Laikmaa ' next to the Viru center and then through the center, and about ten to 15 minutes the historical centre of the city that walked to the hotel. Best already at the airport to pick up a free map along. Tips for the old town: good food and reasonable prices for drinks in Dublin or in the craic including undeveoped Bavaria-waiters, Kiek in the kök, for young people: disco Hollywood my overall conclusion: if you want cheap and central Tallinn-old town with breakfast want to stay and it is ready for the situation regarding (I. p. comfort, spaciousness of the room, modern ambience) is in St. Olav well cared for.
