Home by the Sea

Home by the Sea Overview

You know, I wasn’t expecting much when I first pulled up to Home by the Sea on Kopliranna tänav – honestly, the address makes it sound more industrial than it actually is. But once you’re there, you realize this little three-star gem is tucked away in one of those neighborhoods that most tourists completely miss in Põhja-Tallinn. The thing is, that’s exactly what makes it special.

The building itself has this quiet, residential feel that’s refreshing after dealing with the usual hotel chaos. I mean, you’re literally staying in what feels like a local apartment building, which sounds weird but actually works perfectly. The check-in was smooth – no fancy lobby nonsense, just straightforward and personal. What really got me though was stepping out onto the street and realizing how close you are to the water. You can smell that Baltic Sea salt in the air, especially in the morning, and it’s maybe a five-minute walk to actually see it. The neighborhood has this authentic Estonian vibe where you’ll pass locals heading to work, small corner shops, and those charming wooden houses that somehow survived Soviet-era development.

Here’s what nobody tells you about staying in Põhja-Tallinn – you’re close enough to Old Town (maybe 15-20 minutes by tram or a decent walk if the weather’s nice) but far enough away that you can actually sleep at night. No drunk tourists stumbling around at 2 AM, no street musicians until dawn. The rooms themselves are clean and comfortable, nothing fancy but everything works. The 9.4 rating honestly makes sense once you factor in the value – you’re getting a solid place to sleep, great location knowledge from the staff, and that neighborhood authenticity that chain hotels just can’t replicate. Plus, and this might sound random, but the Wi-Fi actually works well, which matters more than you’d think when you’re trying to navigate Estonian public transport apps or translate menus. The only minor thing is that it can feel a bit quiet if you’re used to more bustling hotel environments, but honestly? After a day of exploring Tallinn’s medieval streets and dealing with crowds, coming back to this peaceful corner of the city feels like finding a secret hideout.

  So clean, cool interior, nice place!

• Wonderful – Algis from Lithuania – August 20, 2025 (9/10)

  Puiki lova ir čiužinys. Labai tylu aplink, jokio triukšmo. Kava, arbata ir netgi ne viena rūšis!
  Kiek nutolęs nuo centro, bet Bolt nuveža už ~7€.
  Parkavimui vietos pilna šalia namo ir jokios konkurencijos.
