Located at 11 Rüütli in the distinguished Old Town district of Estonia’s capital, this boutique accommodation boasts an impressive 8.6 rating from satisfied guests, making it one of the more highly-regarded stays in the area.

Reviews

• Anet from Canada – 2 September 2024 (9/10)

  Great oasis in the middle of the Old Town.
  
  What could be improved: I wish the lawn would have been mowed at arrival.

• Jonathan from United Kingdom – 29 August 2024 (9/10)

  Rustic and authentic tallin
  
  What could be improved: No tv

• John from Australia – 24 August 2024 (9/10)

  Medieval charm, amazing location, lots of space, comfortable bed and in sync with the vibe of old Tallinn
  
  What could be improved: There was little to not like. If anything could be improved, I would suggest a stand to place a suitcase rather than having to put it on the floor

• Ian from Singapore – 26 July 2024 (9/10)

  Apartment has a large garden patio with an apple tree and roses set within Tallinn Old Town, along with a front-row view of the historic Kiek in the Kok tower. The interior is tastefully furnished, with medieval walls, wooden beams, a fully equipped kitchen, and spacious toilets. There was also a seating area and two separate work desks. Parking around the corner for a discounted price of 12€ per day was offered upon request, which made things very convenient.
  
  What could be improved: Pillows were far too soft. Nevertheless fully enjoyed our stay.

• Dawn from United Kingdom – 25 July 2024 (9/10)

  This apartment was the nicest place to stay. It was comfortable, well equipped – we even bought a teaspoon following earlier reviews!!!
  It was spacious. The garden was delightful with a wonderful view of the tower. Also in a fabulous location close to the historic centre and plenty of bars and restaurants.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing at all

• Alan from United Kingdom – 4 July 2024 (9/10)

  This is a deightful apartment. It is full of character, yet very practical. It has a comfortable bed, an excellent kitchen and a very large bathroom. It is also right in the centre of the old town so it couldn't be more convenient. Finally the little garden was really great for sitting out if the weather was good enough.
  
  What could be improved: Well not much. If I have to be picky, I found the setee and chairs a bit low, but I am tall. Alsothe towels were quite small.

• Gregory from Australia – 15 January 2025 (7/10)

  Location was fabulous and an historic rustic feel
  
  What could be improved: Euro 100 deposit was unnecessary. The bed was way too firm for me and the mattress was lumpy and the pillow flat. I think it time for an upgrade.

• Natalie from Australia – 7 December 2024 (6/10)

  The staff were exceptionally helpful and responsive as we booked this stay a couple of hours prior to arriving. We had to sign a booking form online and provide a security deposit, which was fine, although took a bit of time to complete. The location was great, walk to town and a lovely cafe very close! It’s a cute apartment.
  
  What could be improved: The apartment smelled musty like mould when we arrived. We opened the windows to allow the fresh air in, which helped. The bathroom also had some peculiar smells, I think coming from the sewerage or drains. Also, the pictures appeared we would be able to have a fire, however the fireplace was locked shut and no wood provided. There was also noise like dripping sounds when sleeping as well as the water heating going on and off throughout the night.

• Georgia from United Kingdom – 7 December 2024 (7/10)

  Location and room style was amazing! Just like the pics with old medieval themed room!
  
  What could be improved: Not perfectly clean eg rug needed a hoover and under toilet seat was public hairs on arrival- get a better cleaner! Also no tea or coffee provided

• Helen from Ireland – 2 October 2024 (7/10)

  Location in Old Town was excellent
  
  What could be improved: No number on apartment so taxi just had to drop us nearby.
  
  Initial entry to the apartment was confusing.
  Leaving instructions meant that we were standing outside the premises on the street in the pouring rain for almost 10 minutes.
  Heating problematic and was so cold at nights.
  Sewage smell in the bathroom especially after the rain and it was in the living area.
  No extra blankets or towels.
  Self catering – only 1 teaspoon!!
  We booked out a day early.
