Baltic Hotel Vana Wiru - Tallinn, Estonia 

Before choosing this hotel I read the reviews on trip advisor and didn't think the negatives people mentioned would bother us. Turns out, they did. The room was a bit small and in the back corner facing another building right across the way. We tried to book a sauna but were told they were not allowed to be used at the time because they didn't have a cleaner. When we went up to bed around midnight, the room was extremely hot so we opened the window. Unfortunately, it was very loud which made it difficult to sleep. Breakfast was fine with quite a bit of selection. The hotel interior lacked any charm which was disappointing, but there was a functioning lift (elevator) and parking available. Warning about the parking, because this hotel is in the heart of the entrance to old town, driving to the parking is slow and requires manuvering around hords of tourists and venders filling the streets. The location was wonderful but I would not stay there again.

Stayed four nights at the hotel in early April with a friend. We found the hotel to be centrally located to walk the city. The hotel is just minutes to the pubs, restaurants and shops. First-class accommodation (considering we were visiting a former Cold War outpost). The front desk staff were multilingual and helped us with a wide range of questions (how to get to Helsinki by ferry, what's the best Italian and Chinese restaurants, etc). The breakfast buffet, which came with the price of the room, was substantial - from porridge to scrambled eggs, to bread/toast, yoghurt, dry cereal, fruit and sliced meats & cheeses. There was a nice bar and a sauna as well. One slight drawback: You needed to ask each time you wanted to borrow their one laptop to use the internet - but it was free. Just felt odd asking each morning (can't do without checking my mail!) and there were others in a queue waiting for you to finish. Rooms are a bit small but not complaining. I'm told there is outdoor dining/drinking available in their car park in warmer months. You really can't go wrong with the Vana Wiru.
