Juhkentali 46, korter 5 Overview

Okay, so Juhkentali 46, korter 5 isn’t going to win any design awards, but honestly? Sometimes that’s exactly what you want. I stayed here during a long weekend in Tallinn, and you know what struck me first – it’s genuinely quiet for being right in the city center. The apartment sits on the second floor of this typical Soviet-era building on Juhkentali street, and while that might sound intimidating, it’s actually pretty charming once you get used to the slightly creaky hallways and the fact that you’ll need to buzz yourself in.

The location is what really makes this place work. I mean, you’re literally a five-minute walk from Viru Keskus shopping center, which is super handy for grabbing groceries or just wandering around when the weather turns (and in Tallinn, it will turn). What I loved was how easy it was to slip into the Old Town – just head down Narva maantee and you’re there in maybe ten minutes on foot. The tram stops right outside too, which saved me during a particularly brutal February morning when I definitely wasn’t walking anywhere. You’ll hear the trams occasionally, but it’s more of a gentle rumble than anything disruptive.

The apartment itself is pretty no-frills – think basic IKEA furniture and that slightly sterile feeling you get in most rental properties. But everything worked, the WiFi was solid (crucial when you’re trying to navigate cobblestone streets with Google Maps), and the kitchen had enough stuff to make actual meals instead of surviving on tourist restaurant food. The bathroom’s small but functional, and there’s decent water pressure, which honestly matters more than fancy tile work when you’re dealing with Tallinn’s unpredictable weather. I will say the heating took a bit to figure out – there’s this radiator system that has its own personality – but once I got it sorted, the place stayed comfortably warm. Check-in was straightforward enough, though you’ll want to coordinate timing since it’s not a traditional hotel setup. The 7.9 rating feels about right – it’s not luxury, but it gets the job done without any major headaches. For the price point and that central location, especially if you’re planning to spend most of your time exploring the city rather than lounging around, it’s actually a pretty smart choice.

Tallinn’s hotels showcase the perfect blend of medieval charm and modern comfort, with many featuring digital tour services and authentic Estonian hospitality.

  If you have a heavy luggage – note, that there is no lift (but the stairs are quite convenient and the flat is on the 2nd floor)
  Wi-fi is not of a very good quality. I could not watch the 40 min video as it would stop every 5 min saying the connection was not good.

  Good location, clean property, good value for money.

• Very comfortable option for travellers with basic needs – Alena from Finland – September 5, 2024 (8/10)

  This apartment is located just behind the bussijaam. The building looks old, but the apartment is good enough:) It was clean in all the rooms. It is not a luxury accommodation, but for this price it is not possible to find it, if someone wants luxury. The price is very reasonable. Also, there is a possibility to take a pet with you. The host answered to our messages very quickly.
  
  What could be improved: Probably the noise, and it will be good to bring some shower gel to the bathroom:)
