The room was really nice with an excellent bathroom.
Included in the price were breakfast, unlimited use of the 50m swimming pool and saunas.
The breakfast was amazing. The usual cereals, hot foods, cheeses, meats and pastries but with 3 x different types of herring and amazing salads. Different juices, teas and good cafes.
I went swimming x 3 during my 2 nights there. I managed 3 x 10 minutes in the sauna.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. They have a locked luggage storage room for people arriving early or for people who were leaving Tallinn late.
1. Beautiful restaurant with very tasty a la carte menu.
2. Location - near old town,a park,a playground.
3. Waterpark included is a big plus and it has an awesome Olympic pool. Although not very big, it had enough to entertain my 4 yo.
4. Comfortable rooms, good AC, modern and clean.
What I didn't like:
1. Average breakfast. For the price should be better.
2. Cleanliness of the waterpark should be improved significantly.
3. Lack of free or affordable parking.
4. No balcony, small windows and no view.
top notch with a fabulous gym and amazing water park. Will definitely stay here again next time we're in Tallin.
Great location
Excellent breakfast
Nice SPA facilities
Enjoyable water park
Cons:
Very loud pool training sessions
No slippers for the SPA
Gap between the joined beds
Poor soundproofing
Details:
1. Loud Pool Training:
During our time at the SPA, a group pool training session took place. The trainer used a whistle very loudly and frequently, which significantly disrupted the relaxing atmosphere. When I politely asked the trainer to lower the volume, he dismissively told me it was none of my business. This ruined the overall SPA experience.
2. SPA Slippers Not Provided:
Slippers were not provided in the room and could only be purchased for a small fee. However, this information is only shared once you reach your room, meaning you have to return to the reception to get them. Quite inconvenient.
3. Bed Gap Issue:
The main bed was actually two smaller beds pushed together, which kept sliding apart, creating a gap in the middle. This could easily be fixed either by securing the bed legs with straps or placing a large double mattress on top.
The check in was smooth but the kids didn't get a coloring book this time 😆 Maybe it was only for first-timers. We got cleaner and better rooms this time probably due to the renovation.
The waterpark is still great and clean. We definitely recommend this hotel to families with children and even to peoplw who enjoy swimming, lounging, and saunas.
The location is great because it's a hop away from a tram station. Definitely recommend!
POIs near hotel
Cafe and Restaurants near hotel
My one downside would be the room was very hot even with the window open and the radiator off.
Still had a comftable stay and would stay again.
Bought breakfast at the hotel once, it was 5 minutes before buffet closed, which I didnt know or check. Staff did not point this out to me which is poor service as I barely managed to get one plate of food.
Location is however prime, short distance to the old city. And the hotel has it's own spa with different saunas and hot pools.
All in all could return.
