It is located a bit on the edge of town so a walk over to the Senate Square area takes about 20 minutes or so.

We booked an economy room but were not aware that they were doing renovations on those rooms.

I was a bit nervous that there would be a lot of noise because of that and because we were on the second floor right next to the street. Surprisingly, we slept great.

They have two sets of windows to block noise and it worked really well. I didn’t really even need earplugs.

The room was large with nice furnishings but it did need some updating.

The breakfast each morning was wonderful and spoiled us for the rest of the trip.

The staff during breakfast was efficient and very pleasant but didn’t speak much. The front desk staff was very nice and helpful when we needed them.

Close to Rock Church, shopping mall, supermarket, walkable distance to Senate Square.

I walked to ferry terminal (to Tallinn), easy way but took 30 min.

Nice comprehensive buffet breakfast included in our 85E rate. Bar on first floor for snacks and lite fare.

Walk down Luotsikatu and Kauppiaankatu, a short distance east of the cathedral, where there are numerous examples of Jugend to compare with Senate Square’s classicism and with the city’s more modern buildings.

Try the various food booths at market square by the waterfront for a lunch with locals and tourists and the buffet in art nouveau ish Cafe Kappelli at the nearby Esplanade.

And nearby are the boutiques such as Marimekko, worth a visit and possible a purchase on one of their summer 50% off sales. The park in/near Eira may have free early evening rock or jazz concert. If you want some other suggestions email me.
