My stay at Merchants House Hotel was good, thanks to its charming historical character and perfect location in Tallinn's old town. The room was spacious and comfortable, providing a restful retreat after a day of exploring the city. However, the breakfast could use some improvement, particularly the quality of the orange juice offered.

My stay at Merchant House Hotel was pretty solid overall. The location is absolutely unbeatable, right in the heart of Old Town, making it easy to walk to all the cool spots. The staff was super friendly and helpful, really enhancing the experience. However, the breakfast was just okay, and without an elevator, climbing up to my room on the third floor was a bit tiring after a long day of exploring.

Breakfast was served in a cool basement area, but the quality left something to be desired. The scrambled eggs were pretty runny, and the sausages were tough. The atmosphere was great, though.

I had a pleasant stay at Merchants House Hotel, enjoying its charming historical ambiance and excellent location in the heart of Tallinn's old town.

While I initially enjoyed the breakfast variety, I became frustrated with the lack of replenished fruit and popular tea options as the days went on. The presentation wasn't as fresh on subsequent mornings.

The hotel itself has lovely historic charm, but the amenities could use some enhancements, especially regarding room comfort and perhaps some cooling solutions, given that air conditioning isn't possible in historic buildings.
