Cozy Loft next to Old Town

Cozy Loft next to Old Town Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first walked up to Cozy Loft next to Old Town, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from an apartment tucked away on the second floor of a building on Mere pst. But you know what? Sometimes the best places are the ones that don’t scream for attention from the street.

The location is actually pretty brilliant once you get your bearings. I mean, you’re literally a three-minute walk from Tallinn’s medieval Old Town – and I’m talking about the real cobblestoned, fairy-tale stuff, not some tourist trap version. You can hear the church bells from Toompea Hill if you crack open the windows in the morning, which honestly became one of my favorite parts of staying there. The building itself sits on a quiet residential street, so you get that local Tallinn vibe without the constant tour groups walking past your window. Parking can be a bit tricky around here (welcome to European city centers), but there’s usually street parking if you circle around the block a few times.

What struck me most about the loft was how it actually felt like someone’s home rather than a sterile hotel room. The space has this lived-in warmth – maybe it’s the way the afternoon light hits the main room, or how the kitchen feels like you could actually cook a proper meal instead of just reheating leftovers. The “loft” part isn’t just marketing speak either; there’s genuine character in the exposed beams and the way the space opens up. Sure, it’s not going to win any design awards, and the shower pressure could be stronger (isn’t that always the case?), but there’s something refreshingly authentic about it. I found myself lingering over morning coffee instead of rushing out to sightsee, which says something.

The neighborhood really grows on you too. There’s a small grocery store about two blocks down where the elderly Estonian woman behind the counter started recognizing me by day three – that kind of thing you can’t get in a chain hotel. And honestly, being just outside the Old Town walls means you can duck in for the must-see stuff (the Christmas market in winter is absolutely magical), then retreat to your quiet street when the crowds get overwhelming. I walked to most places – the port, Kadriorg Park, even down to the hip Kalamaja district – though I’ll warn you that Tallinn’s hills are no joke if you’re not used to walking on inclines.

The 8.7 rating makes perfect sense to me. It’s not luxury, but it’s exactly what it promises to be: cozy, genuinely local, and perfectly positioned for someone who wants to experience Tallinn like a temporary resident rather than a tourist. The kind of place where you’ll find yourself planning a return trip before you’ve even checked out.

Exploring Tallinn offers visitors an unforgettable journey through Estonia’s digital heart, from its UNESCO-listed medieval old town to its innovative startup ecosystem and stunning Baltic coastline.
