Liivalaia 40 cozy kitchen studio Overview

You know what struck me first about Liivalaia 40 cozy kitchen studio? It’s one of those places that actually lives up to its name – and honestly, that’s rarer than you’d think. The moment I walked in, I could smell fresh coffee brewing (the previous guest had clearly figured out the little espresso maker), and there was this warm, lived-in feeling that immediately made me drop my shoulders and relax.

The studio sits right on Liivalaia street, which – if you’re not familiar with Tallinn – puts you in this sweet spot between the Old Town tourist madness and the more residential Kesklinn area. I mean, you can walk to Toompea Hill in about fifteen minutes, but you’re also close enough to actual grocery stores and that fantastic little bakery on Narva maantee that locals actually use. The kitchen is genuinely functional too, not just some hotel afterthought with a broken microwave. I ended up cooking dinner twice during my stay because, well, the Rimi supermarket is literally around the corner, and after days of restaurant food, sometimes you just want to make pasta while wearing your pajamas.

What I appreciated most was how quiet it gets at night – Liivalaia can be busy during the day with office workers and trams, but once evening hits, it settles down nicely. The studio itself has this slightly worn-in charm that feels authentic rather than shabby. Sure, the bathroom could use a small update (the shower pressure is… optimistic), and the Wi-Fi occasionally decided to take coffee breaks, but these felt like minor quirks rather than deal-breakers. The bed was actually comfortable – and I’m picky about mattresses – plus there’s decent storage space, which matters when you’re staying more than just a night or two. The little dining table by the window became my workspace, and I found myself lingering over morning coffee while watching the neighborhood wake up. There’s something genuinely satisfying about staying somewhere that feels like a temporary home rather than just a place to crash between sightseeing sessions. For the price point and that 7.6 rating, it delivers exactly what it promises without trying to be something it’s not – which, in a city full of either hostel bunk beds or expensive boutique hotels, hits that middle ground perfectly.

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

  • Great place to stay! – Aleksandra from Poland (9/10)

    Great place to stay in in Tallinn! Easy to get in at any time, because getting into the apartment is automatic, with pin numbers. Parking lot next to the building.

  • Very Good – Marius from Lithuania (8/10)

    Perfectly clean.

  • Good for it's price – Per from Sweden (7/10)

    It's a good room with own bathroom. It was a little bit hot when arriving (in summer), and no fan or other A/C…. The fridge was very good, but the utilities was minimum (a casserole as we had to use as frying pan…) the smoke detector is located just above the kitchenette, so it was triggered when frying eggs in the casserole…. Nice location and easy to find.
