Dream Stay – Bright 2-Bedroom 2-Floor Old Town Apartment

Dream Stay – Bright 2-Bedroom 2-Floor Old Town Apartment Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Dream Stay – Bright 2-Bedroom 2-Floor Old Town Apartment, you immediately get that “this is going to be good” feeling. The building sits right on Lai Street, which honestly couldn’t be more central if it tried — you’re literally in the heart of Tallinn‘s medieval Old Town. I mean, step outside and you’re surrounded by cobblestone streets and those fairy-tale towers you see on postcards. The entrance has that authentic old-world charm, but once you’re inside, everything feels refreshingly modern and well-maintained.

The Space Itself

This four-star apartment really lives up to its “bright” promise — natural light floods in through generous windows that frame views of the historic neighborhood. The two-floor layout gives you actual space to spread out, which is pretty rare when you’re staying right in the Old Town center. The main room has this nice balance of contemporary comfort and subtle nods to the building’s history. You’ll find a proper kitchen that’s actually functional (not just a mini-fridge and microwave situation), plus two separate bedrooms that give couples or friends some privacy.

Location Perks

Here’s what I love about staying on Lai Street — you’re close enough to everything that matters, but just far enough from the main tourist drag that you won’t hear groups of visitors wandering around at midnight. Town Hall Square is maybe a three-minute walk, and you can reach Toompea Castle in about the same time going the other direction. The location feedback mentions couples rating it highly, and I totally get why — there’s something romantic about having your own little medieval hideaway while still being steps from great restaurants and cafes.

Practical Considerations

The 7.4 rating feels about right — it’s a solid choice that delivers on its promises without any major surprises. Parking can be tricky in this part of town (honestly, most people just walk or use taxis), but that’s pretty standard for any Old Town accommodation. The two-floor setup means you’ll be doing some stairs, which might matter if you’re traveling with heavy luggage. Recent guests have been rating the location highly, and after staying here, I understand the enthusiasm — you really can’t beat being this central while having actual space to relax.

Why Guests Love It

What sets this place apart is that balance between authentic location and modern comfort. You’re not sacrificing convenience to stay in a historic building, and you’re not stuck in some generic hotel outside the action either. The brightness of the space makes even gray Baltic days feel cheerful, and having two floors gives the whole experience a more residential feel. For couples especially, there’s something special about having your own little corner of medieval Tallinn — you can grab groceries at the nearby shops, cook breakfast while planning your day, and feel like temporary locals rather than just tourists passing through.

Reviews of Dream Stay – Bright 2-Bedroom 2-Floor Old Town Apartment

• Very Good – Laura from Spain – August 18, 2025 (8/10)

  La ubicación y la limpieza
  
  What could be improved: La cama ruidosa, y faltó una cafetera …..pero por lo demás muy completo

• Exceptional – Glib from Ukraine – June 1, 2025 (10/10)

  Very warm place. Hot floor in the bathroom feels great after showering. Cozy and clean place.
  
  What could be improved: Everything was fine except locks on the doors. They were pretty hard to open without experience. Both in entrance to house and in apartment.

• Good – Giada from Italy – January 10, 2025 (7/10)

  ottima posizione per visitare la città, camere da letto comode
  
  What could be improved: le serrature delle porte erano difficili da aprire ed il wc separato dalla doccia e vicino alla cucina non è molto comodo.

• A very uncomfortable time and not a dream stay – Allan from Australia – September 8, 2023 (2/10)

  We found the property was poorly maintained. The staircase to the upper level is steep and dangerous missing a handrail at the top level. It is well located in Van Linn though
  
  What could be improved: Our major concerns was the upstairs shower stopped intermittently leaving you standing wet and soapy with no water. The kitchen is located directly next to the toilet and kitchen bench had massive chaos where germs could breed

• Fair – Violeta from Lithuania – August 9, 2023 (5/10)

  Good location
  
  What could be improved: It is not possible to get a shower! No water, especially in evening no water at all, water flow in the morning so poor that not possible to wash your hair. Also no pan in kitchen

• Lovely stay for couples or friends – Brady from United Kingdom – June 12, 2023 (8/10)

  The space is discreet and it adds to the character of the apartment. Lovely setting as well. Out of the way from all the main tourist bits but not far from them so you get a good balance of both.
  
  What could be improved: Pressure for the shower went a couple of times. It would come back but not necessarily ideal if you're trying to get ready.
  
  Plus the kitchen could be stocked with a frying pan as well.
  
  Door can be a bit difficult at times to open, would be nice if there was some further instruction in future and maybe add some blackout curtains in the bedrooms.
  
  Plus maybe get some softer pillows
  
  Other than that there are no other issues.

• Very Good – Jari from Finland – May 1, 2023 (8/10)

  Sijainti ja sympaattinen asunto
  
  What could be improved: Lämmin vesi ei riittänyt kaikille suihkussa. Astiat suppeat, laseja niukasti. Leipäveitset
  tylsiä.

• Kiva paikka – Suzzku from Finland – April 12, 2023 (8/10)

  Asunto on iso ja todella kaunis. Isot ikkunat, puulattia ja kaksi makuuhuonetta ylhäällä. Kylppärissä oli jopa pesukone. Löysimme avaimet helposti ja sijainti oli erinomainen, vain lyhyt kävely raatitorille. Ruokakauppa on myös muutama sadan metrin päästä (Rimi Express) ja siellä on runsaasti ravintoloita ja kahviloita. Pihalla oli ystävällinen valkoinen kissa. Kaupungissa on helppo liikkua Bolt sovelluksen avulla. Ruokaa saa myös Woltilta, esim. ekan päivän aamupala. Käsisaiput tuoksui älyttömän hyvältä 😉
  
  What could be improved: Valaistus on liian kova, puuttuu makuuhuoneiden pöytälamput ja vaikka olohuoneessa jalkalamppu, että saa vähän tunnelma. Ei ole verhoja, eli makuuhuoneet eivät ole aamulla kovin pimeitä. Toisen talon seinä on kyllä niin lähellä, ettei näe sisälle. Paistinpannu ja oikea kahvinkeitin olisko hyvä lisätä. Ja oli vain yksi rulla vesipaperia, mikä huomattiin liian myöhään. 😀 Sängyt ovat aika kovia, veden paino ylhällä heikko ja yksi varatyyny oli vähän likainen, tummat hiukset kylppärin seinällä ja pesuallas tukossa. WC siis alakerrassa ja jyrkät rappuset. Varauksen yhteydessä piti maksaa 100€ deposit (sain jo takaisin) ja skannattaa henkilökortin. Mutta muuten kaiken kaikkiaan kiva paikka! Tullaan ehkä uudestaan.

• Great accommodation located in the old town! – Eddo from Netherlands – November 28, 2022 (8/10)

  nice and comfortable house. 2 large bedrooms and good living room all located in the Old Town everything in walking distance

• Very Good – Divaker from Sri Lanka – November 28, 2022 (8/10)

  very well located and easy access by taxi. Tons of restaurants and bars. The apartment itself was clean and well laid out. lots of natural sunlight. Instructions for key pickup and wifi were clearly provided. Friendly neighbors.
  
  What could be improved: Beds needs to be replaced and the pillows were too flat and small for my preference. No curtains or blinds in the bedrooms so it's impossible to sleep in after a long night, as the sunlight come right in.
