“Almost perfect...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2011
2
people found this review helpful

The good:
The hotel has been recently renovated (used to be called -and still known by the locals as- Europa Hotel) so the facilities are brand new. The restaurant and the bar in particular are really attractive and look modern and inviting.

The service was great. The receptionists were always very kind and went out of their way to provide with local information.

The hotel is a few kilometers out of the old town centre but there is a trolley bus and a tram stop outside the hotel (tickets can be bought on board or at a kiosk also next to the hotel); tram 6 and all trolleybuses go to the centre in about 10-15 minutes.

The free Wi-Fi was a great bonus for us, enabling to publish those holiday snaps on Facebook almost in real time!

The not so good:
Public Transport finishes between midnight and 1am so after that the only way to get back to the hotel is by taxi and we got conned on our way from the airport whereas the taxi driver took us for a little joyride and charged us an extortionate amount of money so try and negotiate a ball figure before getting on one!!!

Room walls are very thin so if your neighbour is watching TV, you will be listening to it too!
Pillows are a bit on the thin side, but it might be the norm in north-east Europe... might be worth asking for an extra one at Reception.

We went for a day trip to Tallinn so we asked to have our breakfast packed to take away, and although they obliged, the content was a sorry looking sandwich, a salad (for breakfast!) a banana and an apple. No drinks or anything. A bit poor in our opinion.

The positives way outweigh the negatives though and the Reception staff really does its best to make sure customers are satisfied so I would definitely reccommend this hotel and stay again if the opportunity arose!!!

Thank you for your review we do value the feedback.

I am pleased that you enjoyed your stay and that you would return in the future.
The free Wifi is a gesture to our guests to allow the checking of emails etc and suits most people. A further option of free computer access in the Lobby is also available 24 hours a day including printing options. We offer a high bandwidth of Wifi offering a good connection and speed due to a recent installation of a high specification system.
You can find all information about Public Transport schedule in night time as well as in daytime Rigassatiksme.lv If next time you decide to take a taxi again the price for going from Old town to our hotel is around 7-10Eur
We have changed our pillows this month and now there is extra two in every room. Sorry about some noisy neighbors, hope next time everything will be more quiet! I have passed your complaint about packed early breakfast to the team to ensure that our service remains consistent.

“Wonderful hotel for people who want to pay less and stay in comfort”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 July 2010
3
people found this review helpful

Even though the location is out of city centre, I must say I didn't mind at all, as there are buses and trams going to the old city just in front of the hotel. Excellent choice for people who prefer to pay less, but still to sleep in a nice hotel. Very clean, excellent service, colourfull rooms. Staff so helpful. We didn't have breakfast, as we chose to eat outside always, and breakfast is only EUR 6 per person. The hotel is very close to shopping mall, and it is on half way from the city centre to Ethographic museum.

“Three km out, on a noisy main among derelict buildings”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2009
4
people found this review helpful

The hotel is superior to its surroundings, bright and clean with a good breakfast. Our visit unfortunately was spoilt because, firstly, the Google map had given an incorrect location and in fact we found it was twice as far from town than we had expected. In fact it is over the railway line, among derelict buildings. The name is on the roof but not easily visible from the road - look for Sunny Restaurant on the left hand side of the road as you come from the city centre. Then we were affected by groups who on one occasion had been allocated breakfast slots which left only 45 minutes for all individual guests. One particular group consisted of dog fanciers whose pets stayed in the bedrooms, barked at all hours and were walked around the public areas of the hotel.
