8/10 Good
"This hotel was on the street where trams go through; however, it was quiet and very spacious bathrooms which sometimes hard to find in Europe. However, the wall between the room and the bathroom was just clear glass with see-through curtains. I guess that they connect those two beds to make the bed Queen size for a couple, but my reservation was for two beds which could be just friends, so it was a little awkward to use bathroom even though I was there with my son, but he is an adult. I wished that they were “more considerate” to have thicker curtains there for more privacy. I don’t think that I needed to request that when I made a reservation. Buffet breakfast was excellent, and location was convenient (walkable to the central and ferry terminal to Tallinn.)"
