Check In
Arrived around noon for a two-night stay. Booked one of their lower rates, as it was a long bank holiday weekend in Estonia the hotel appeared not busy at all. At the lobby reception greeted, and it was confirmed our room was ready. Asked to follow the security guard to the executive lounge for diamond check-in. Guard did not say a word, but delivered us as promised to the exec lounge. An introduction to the hotel was given, and after a few minutes we were off to our room.
Room
Booked was a standard room, received was a One-Bedroom-Suite. Suites appear to be located in the corners of the hotels, and ours was not on the executive floors but still with a great view thanks to its eigth floor location - even if the view was not towards the old town. Suite had a a living area as you entered, and then through a door into a small corridor with a large wardrobe, to the sides of it the relatively cozy bedroom and a large bathroom. Bathroom had a seperate cubicle for the toilet and also one for the shower. Two sinks and a bathtub to round things off.
Service
Staff was very friendly and most helpful. Guests seemed to be their first concern, which was nice to see. Oddly the coffee capsuls were not replenished in our room during our stay. Different staff was also unable to set my Hilton Honors earning preferences to points & miles. I had to do it myself through the lounge computers (cannot access that part of my profile through the app!). But other than these minors aspects all good!
Executive Lounge
The space itself is great, the view also from the 11th and top floor of the hotel. I had no breakfast in the lounge (we were invited to use the restaurant), and there is no afternoon tea offering. There some Big Corny Musli bars avaiable all day, and nuts&fruits. Happy hour in the evening on the one night was pretty good, with pretty tasty Cesar Salad, and for the jot options some pasta & sausage mix, and green beans. Bread and cold cuts and cheese were also to choose from. The other night no salad, and hot options were chicken nuggets and mini pizzas that I always hoped would never reach beyond the German Hiltons. I now know that they do.
There are hard spirits, the usual brands, nothing local. I did not check out the beers or wines, but I noted two couples leaving near full glasses of wine in the lounge upon their departure.
Tables were cleared quickly of empty plates etc, but seemingly only ever probably cleaned in the evening.
Dining
Breakfast in the restaurant was really good, I made good use of the many fish salads on offer and also omlette station. The bread rolls and pastries are quite average though.
Location
Directly by a smallish park, some 15 minutes walk to the Old Town, all good for me. Very quick ride to the airport - in fact one could walk to the airport in less than 40mins! Taxi was about five Euros.
Pool & Sauna
Spacious sauna and steam room, the pool is ok for up to three to four swimmers, it gets tight beyond that. The spa facilities were used quite a bit by guests and non-resident members, so that swimming was not always possible. The gym is quite small.
Overall
I would happily return! The hard product of the hotel is art-deco inspired, and after one year of being open no signs of wear were visible.
