I chose to stay at this hotel because I was attending a concert at Haapsalu Castle, which is literally right out the door and that was perfect. I arrived on a Saturday to be told that there was a street party happening all night until midnight, so I thought it would be good fun to go and walk around all the venders and taste some great food. Little did I know that there was going to be a disco going on right outside my room until close to 4am Sunday morning, and so during a warm night I had to keep the windows closed to TRY to keep out the noise. Then on Sunday night, when I would have thought people would be asleep getting reading for a start to their work week there was even more VERY loud music coming from across the road and the sounds of laughter from nearby until 6am, so for the two nights I stayed there, I had very little sleep :(||||Apart from that the rooms a nice, the bed large and comfortable. I'm sure I'd arranged a breakfast but nobody mentioned anything so I didn't bother asking again. I did note when coming back to my room late Sunday night that there appeared to be a possible breakfast try sitting at the top of the stairs covered in cling film. I don't know who that was for, but I don't think I would have appreciated knowing my food had been sitting out there all night, especially as it looked like there was cheese and possible yoghurt of some kind.||||Nice to have tea/coffee making facilities outside the rooms, but had to keep going down to the bar area for sugar.||||The one truly lovely part was when I called to ask for directions upon arriving at Haapsalu Bussijaam the lady who answered the phone (I'm sorry I never did find out her name or if she was the owner), offered to come and pick me up, which she did - that alone saved me at least a 20 minute walk through very busy, street party filled streets :)||||All in all I'm not sorry I stayed there, it was a perfect location for what I needed. The only drawback was the noise, and I left there much tireder than what I was when I arrived after only 5 hours sleep...
Read moreI stayed here in May with my husband on our way to Hiiumaa island, and we returned in July with our teenage daughters, this time travelling to Saaremaa island. For us, Hermannuse Maja and Haapsalu were one-night stop-overs on the way.||||Hermannuse Maja is a nice little inn. We had one double room on our first visit and another double room + twin room on the second stay. (There are only 3 rooms altogether, so we have tried them all!). One of the double rooms has a shower and a small bathtub, the other one only has a shower. Other differences are minimal, so you should consider whether you want to pay a little extra for the bath.||||Hotel location is very good, right next to Haapsalu Castle and restaurants. Rooms are simple but comfortable, and service is friendly. Breakfast is very nice too - in addition to yogurt, bread, juice, etc., you can order anything you like from their breakfast menu - without extra charge.||||I would have given this place 4 stars, if room prices were a little lower. I think Hermannuse Maja is very nice but more expensive than other, similar places in Haapsalu, not to mention...
Read moreDue to changes in my travel plans, I had to alter my reservation several times. My requests were always answered immediately and with friendly encouragement. Although I was late in arrival and the owner had to leave a colleague waiting to let me in for hours, everyone was helpful and gracious. ||||The accommodations were far above my expectation, with modern and seemingly new furnishings, a well-appointed bathroom with a heated floor. It was already too cold to use them, but there are several lovely seating areas in the backyard, with nice plantings and view of the city's old stone wall. ||||The hotel is above a lively cafe with good food and a very friendly casual atmosphere. All of the young staff were helpful as impromptu concierages, providing travel and tourist information.||||Free wi-fi is found throughout Estonia and Hermannuse Maja is...
