its fair share of pros and cons. Let\u2019s start with what we liked: the location. The hotel is literally right next to the ferry terminal, and it\u2019s about a 10-minute walk to the Old Town. Plus, the parking for our car was free, which isn\u2019t always the case in Tallinn.   <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Now for the downsides, which, unfortunately, stuck with us more than the positives. The beds and pillows? A total disaster. We don\u2019t think we\u2019ve ever slept so uncomfortably \u2013 not even in much cheaper motels. Our stay at this hotel left us completely sleep-deprived, and honestly, we weren\u2019t looking forward to returning to the room.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Breakfast? Well, it was included in the price, so we ate it. It wasn\u2019t bad, but nothing to write home about \u2013 standard options that ran out quickly, with the staff not in much of a hurry to refill them.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Would we recommend this hotel? We\u2019d say: it depends. If you need a place for just one night, close to the port and with free parking, it will do the job. But for a longer stay? It\u2019s better to look for something more comfortable, as the beds here are a game-changer \u2013 unfortunately, in a negative way.    <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b5126b0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_gallery_masonry\" data-id=\"b5126b0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"qi_addons_for_elementor_image_gallery_masonry.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m qodef-qi-image-gallery-masonry qodef-qi-fslightbox-popup qodef-popup-gallery qodef-image--hover-zoom qodef-qi-grid qodef-layout--qi-masonry qodef-items--fixed qodef-col-num--2 qodef-responsive--predefined\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-grid-inner\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-qi-grid-masonry-sizer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"qodef-e qodef-image-wrapper qodef-grid-item qodef-item--landscape\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"qodef-popup-item\" itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/estonia-006-mfrh-original-scaled.jpg\" data-type=\"image\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery-9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/estonia-006-1300x650.jpg\" class=\"attachment-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_landscape size-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_landscape\" alt=\"Tallinn cruise port terminal with passenger gangways and Baltic Sea view\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9407d39 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9407d39\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>SIM card<\/h2><p class=\"p1\">During our trip to Tallinn, we used our standard Polish SIM cards, which, thanks to EU regulations, allowed us to make calls, send messages, and use the internet without any additional roaming charges.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">If you\u2019re planning a trip near border regions, it\u2019s worth safeguarding against your phone accidentally switching to a Russian network.
