Sympaattinen, mainio hotelli Vanhassa kaupungissa
Sympaattinen, persoonallinen, siisti ja remontoitu hotelli loistosijainnilla Vanhassa kaupungissa. Oli ihana päästä illalla myös saunaan. Menisin uudestaankin.

Excellent hôtel de 36 chambres, parfaitement situé à deux pas de la Place de l’Hôtel de ville dans la vieille ville de Tallinn. Personnel compétent et avenant, chambre spacieuse et confortable, terrasse intérieure bien aménagée. Petit hôtel boutique qui mérite pleinement ses étoiles et ses nombreux commentaires favorables. Très heureux de mon séjour de trois nuits. Merci!

Hospitable service over-all. The ManagerJonathan's carrying my luggage up the stairs was a nice touch. All 3 shift front desk staff were helpful and very friendly. Rich and satisfying breakfast, unbeatable location. No elevators and a bit too loud a street on weekend nights.

This is in the historic town very close to the main square in a traditionalhouse converted to a hotel. Excellent accommodations, not your typical cookie cutter hotel room. Clean comfortable and affordable.
Wonderful.

Cannot fault a thing
We stayed for two nights in the Courtyard suite for my partner’s 50th and we truly enjoyed our stay. Location is excellent, our suite was both beautiful and comfortable with sauna and bath, breakfast was good with several options and the staff were all super friendly and helpful. I very warmly recommend staying at the Merchants House and I have already booked my next stay with them.
