Hotel is located in a great place just a short walk away from Tallin old town. You can find shops and dinning places just around the corner. The view from the sauna center and top floor is magnificient. I would reccomend to stay at this hotel at any time of the year. We where there to celebrate the New years eve, and even the hotel was croudy, the ladies at the recept...
I stayed at this hotel with my wife for a city break taking in Tallinn and Helsinki in one trip, 10min walk from the old town and 10min walk to ferry terminal for Helsinki, staff on front desk and behind bar were very nice always had a smile, but we also said thank you back which in my view helps the service wherever I go, breakfast is a good selection has bacon , scra...
500 metre from Old Town, so easy walk on mainly cobbled pavers. Great breakfast included..the best breakfast we have had on our month long trip, catering to all natioaities. The 1st hotel where we have seen Japanese rice porridge for breakfast. Our only negative on a 4 night stay was our shower didn't drain very well, but not enough of an issue that we complained about...
Best location if you are travelling via the cruise. Reasonable price, just opposite the seaport terminal, waking distance to old town (probably 15 minutes) or just take Uber, which is just Euro 3-4. Decent breakfast is provided. Staff are polite and we could converse in English. For those not English spoken staff (house keeping, they are polite too and able to get help...
A genuinely lovely hotel. The deluxe rooms are especially quirky, ours had the bath in the bedroom, it also had a secret staircase which doubled as a fire escape and a huge comfortable bed. Breakfast was excellent, great food choices and a glass of prosecco to start with. Staff are friendly and very helpful. The hotel is a real treasure in the old city. It is perfe...
My stay was pretty great! I had reserved a double bed room, but when I arrived it was only a Queen Bed; however, the hotel immediately switched rooms for me. Customer service throughout my stay was great, in general. Unfortunately, the area around the hotel is a bit boring (you have to walk to Old Town to get food or anything else, but it's only 10 minutes until yo...
The view is superb! The WiFi didn’t work at first but the staff (manager Sandra) was helpful and she came to my apartment to fix the issue. Everything was great. Will definitely visit again if I come back to Tallinn
whilst we enjoyed our stay at this hotel, I am very opposed to paying 6 Euro every time you order room service,.. this led me and my family to decline eating at any of the hotel outlets and going outside to eat. Hilton charge top rates for their rooms and therefore this should include room service delivery,.. they certainly lost F&B revenue from my Family because of t...
I got it when agoda having promotion,definitely value for value. Kitchen suppose to have 4 chairs, but only 2. Heating only in kitchen, one of toilet and room. We may asked from the staff, but lazy. Just hope items checked and match before given to us. 2 mins to quite a big size supermarket and to a 24hr small size supermarket. 5 mins walk to old town. Overall good ...
The location is absolutely perfect! I travelled for leisure and the hotel is directly across the street from 2 malls (one of which includes a grocery store) and a cinema. I booked a deluxe double room which was clean and spacious. It was also just under a ten minute walk from Old Town which was very beautiful.
The apartment is very big and the location is good for sightseeing. However, if you arrive early and the room is not ready, you might have to store your baggage at the office, which is a bit far from the apartment. Picking up the baggage at a later time (and checking-out) can be distressing because the apartment is located uphill, and climbing up-/down-hill with a heav...
It was a very basic hotel. Room had only one electric plug point. I had to unplug the only table lamp to charge my mobile phone. Breakfast was also very basiic.
Pros: it’s close to all the best restaurants and attractions that Tallinn Old Town has to offer! It’s just opposite Tallinn Tourist Information Centre!! Cons: need a safety deposit box.
This place is so central,it is fantastic.The staff only got 4 stars ,because I did not interact with anyone other than in the check in process. The only drawback to the Villa is the stairs ,if you can handle those ,go for it .I would go back there.
we were there early that morning and there is a hotel just next to it which can have free luggage storage before staff of the apartment staff get to work at 11am. its just a 5 min walk but a muddy one due to the snow. a supermarket can be found underground of the shopping center just beside the apartment as well which is very convenient and everything can be found in...
This hotel is located just outside of old town (a few minutes walking) and is only about a 10 minute walk from the port if you are arriving by ship. The hotel was close enough to old town to make walking there easy, but because it wasn't in old town, it was much quieter. The rooms were nice; however, they didn't supply shampoo or conditioner, which you would expect...
The concept and design of hotel space is great taste. Room is clean and new. Love the restaurant and indoor pool atmosphere. Helpful staffs. Quality lovely breakfast for start up my morning in Tallinn. Recommended!
I chose this hotel becouse in the last time we had stayed in the center of Tallinn and it was more comfortable than othe areas. We liked this hotel. Everything was nice: very good location, normal breakfast (7-10 am), very good soundproofig, nice beds.| We didnt use spa and sport complexes because we wanted to walk in the city and had no time, but it was included (6-...
good place with good location, it takes only a few minutes to go anywhere in the old town, and take 10 minites to go outside of old town, the place is very cozy just like home, u can even veg out all day long in the hostel.the staff makes free pancankes every morning so u have more choice on breakfast. but it's a little noisy while there are many people gathering aroun...
The hotel was a long way from the city, even though their website states close to city, it is actually 20 minutes bus ride on the number 5 bus. The hotel itself is very large with access to rooms via lift with key card which is good security. The rooms are very basic but very cheap for one night, also if you have a car it is only a 10-15 minute drive from the airport.
The old city of Tallinn is surprisingly large and worth a day trip from Helsinki. We left our main suitcases in the hotel in Helsinki in which we stayed at either end of our trip to Tallinn and walked from the Lindaline dock to the hotel (about 15 min). The hotel was perfectly placed and one of the fun places we've stayed in. A bunch of old buildings were renovated ...
We really enjoyed our stay here. We had a large room with TV (mostly Russian, but could still watch football!), and a large bathroom with bath and shower. The internet worked fine and there was a table, chairs and wardrobe too. There is a nice dining/sitting room, with some books to read. The location was amazing, a few minutes walk from the main square. The only dow...
Good facilities and staff was friendly. HOWEVER, I hate it that they don't care if the guests have to wait for them outside whereas they themselves are not willing to wait - they make sure they arrive after you. Even if you told them in advance that you are arriving earlier! Not something a guest would appreciate after getting off a flight -
I stayed at Pikk 49 with my wife and (adult) daughter. Pikk 49 is an apartment block, not a hotel. We stayed in the STUDIO apartment and it was huge and plenty of wardrobe space to hang your clothes. It's fully self contained with TV, fridge, washing machine, oven etc and wifi. It's superbly located, close to the old city square, but far enough away not to be disturbed...
Everything was clean and bed was good

it's very spacious, with all the facilities needed. the staff were so friendly and nice, perhaps the best ones in tallinn. the hostel is not in the city center, but can be reached easily with trams. i recommend it!
Great. Evgeni made my first stay in estonia a pleasant one. I love the style of the rooms and the house . The tea room is very quaint. Food was very nice and wifi was good.
It's not a hostel. It is a beautiful private home in the forest with birds singing, cats playing and I even saw a hedgehog. Tiiu invites you into her home and I felt like a guest rather than a paying customer. This is a place to rest and relax but an easy ride to the heart of Tallin. There is a terrific open market where you can buy fresh fruit, veg, meat etc. only on...

Our family of four stayed at this apartment for 4 nights in Aug 2017. We had a great time. The manager Katja was on time to meet us and give us the keys, and gave a detailed explanation of where everything was and how it all worked.

The apartment really is very nice and well located in the heart of the Old Town. It has a lot of character. Indeed a pleasant place to stay. However, what made our stay not perfect is the poor performance by Agoda. When we made the booking, Agoda didn't give us the details of the owner. No phone number, no email address. So, when we got there with our heavy bags all ...
