Bob W Telliskivi Overview
Look, I’ll be honest – when I first heard about Bob W Telliskivi, I thought the name was a bit quirky, but that’s actually perfect for this place. It sits right in Tallinn’s Telliskivi Creative City, which is basically this old industrial area that’s been transformed into the coolest neighborhood in Estonia’s capital. You know those districts that used to be all factories and warehouses, then artists moved in, and now it’s buzzing with galleries, vintage shops, and restaurants that locals actually go to? That’s exactly what you’re getting here.
The hotel itself feels like someone took the best parts of Scandinavian design and mixed it with that slightly edgy, creative vibe of the neighborhood. I mean, you’re literally surrounded by converted shipping containers that house everything from specialty coffee roasters to design studios – it’s pretty cool to wake up and grab your morning coffee from a place that’s basically in a colorful metal box. The rooms are clean and modern without being sterile, and honestly, the soundproofing is better than I expected given that you’re in what’s essentially Tallinn’s creative hub. You might hear some music from the weekend markets or events, but it’s more atmospheric than annoying.
What really sold me on this place was how easy it made exploring the city feel. The tram stop is right there (well, maybe a three-minute walk), and you can get to Old Town in about ten minutes without dealing with the tourist crowds until you’re actually ready for them. But here’s the thing – you might not want to leave the neighborhood that quickly. There’s this fantastic food market called Balti Jaam Market just a short walk away, and on weekends, Telliskivi has this flea market where you can find everything from Soviet-era curiosities to handmade ceramics. The staff seemed to genuinely know their stuff about the local scene too, which is refreshing. They pointed me toward a tiny Estonian restaurant I never would have found otherwise. The 9.2 rating makes sense when you consider that this isn’t trying to be a fancy international chain – it’s doing its own thing really well, and that authenticity shows in all the little details. If you want to experience Tallinn beyond the medieval tourist trail while still having a comfortable, well-designed place to crash, this hits that sweet spot perfectly.
Hotels in Tallinn offer visitors the opportunity to stay in the heart of this Baltic jewel, with easy access to museums, medieval towers, and startup districts.

Reviews of Bob W Telliskivi
Very recommendable! – Raul from Spain (10/10)
Everything was perfect. 100% recommendable. Great location and attention to detail.
Pleasant stay in a good location – Margit from Estonia (8/10)
Location was excellent. Apartment was clean. It was easy to use the digital door key.
Great, will come again! – Marjo from Finland (9/10)
The brekkie was ok. But there was no so-called added value on being your guest. We could have just gone there and paid the same. So this might be something that you could develop.
Everything as expected! – Janis from Latvia (8/10)
Perfect location!
Exceptional – Valery from Finland (10/10)
Great place, clean, simple and cozy, it has everything you might need. Very convenient system and service.
Pleasant and cosy stay in the heart of telliskivi. – Chineme from United Kingdom (8/10)
Clean, great location in the heart of Telliskivi. Excellent facilities including the shower and the kitchenette. Bed was a good level of firmness. Sun rises into the apartment which was nice and the hand wash was lovely. A good carbon neutral place. Came for a birthday and was offered some vegan chocolates complementary which was a nice touch.
Truly loved my stay and would 100% stay again and recommend to others visiting Tallinn! – Kelly from United States of America (10/10)
Perfect location – easy walk to old town, and the hip Telliskivi neighborhood is right outside your door! Easy to catch public transit as well. For a solo traveler (or a couple), I thought the layout and space was ideal. I loved having access to the in unit washing machine (with detergent). Also loved the coffee and kitchen for cooking meals. I thought it was a nice touch to have the furnishings locally made, as well as universal charging cords in the unit. I really feel like the space was well thought out. Great communication via WhatsApp – I asked a lot of questions lol and got responses right away!
Perfect concept – Dins from Latvia (10/10)
Very modern apartment in Telliskivi area. It has a kitchenette with everything necessary to make a simple meal for ourselves. Salt, pepper and cooking oil was also provided. Tea and coffee making facilities available. There is a code access to the building and apartment – all the information was sent on WhatsApp in due time before our arrival. Guests can use washing machine and clothes drying rack in their apartment. Breakfast provided in two cafeterias nearby – we did Reval Cafe which is literally around the corner, they serve breakfast till 3pm on weekends, late morning meals were very convenient for us.
Great – Birgit from Estonia (8/10)
Really nice and clean
Wonderful – Samuel from Germany (9/10)
Functional apartment, very clean and well ordered in a Nordic/Ikea style. Kitchen has everything you'll need. Excellent communication with host via WhatsApp — when one of the blinds was not working it was fixed the same day. Entry to the apartment easy via a key code.
