The four star award I give the hotel should not be misunderstood. The hotel is in a town that is - at least for most people-rather strange. Sillamae is recovering from its history under Soviet control as a industrial centre heavily involved through its uranium processing with the Soviet nuclear effort. As a result of the town was officially off the maps for a period of time and after independence had to deal with new, Western environmental standards. The centre of the town is best described as neo-classical Stalinist in architectural style; actually much more interesting than that sounds. The hotel is great value, simple and perfectly adequate - and its refurbishment some time ago still leaves a fresh feel. Don't expect more than good, clean basics in the bedroom (ours was large and en suite). We ate dinner and the (included) breakfast. The former was ok even if the pasta was somewhat heavy. The buffet breakfast was limited in choice but the coffee was ok (ie not dishwater) and we enjoyed the pancakes. Go to Sillamae - and stay here - while you can. Everything will change over time and the experience won't remain the same. More
