Hotel Description
Nestled in the heart of Estonia’s captivating capital, the 3-star LJ5 – Old Town Rooms with Exclusive shared Roof Terrace offers a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and old-world charm. Located at 5 Lühike jalg in Tallinn’s City-Centre, this highly-rated establishment boasts an impressive 8.6 rating, reflecting its exceptional service and remarkable guest experience. Situated within the historic old town area, the hotel provides an authentic glimpse into Tallinn’s medieval heritage while delivering modern amenities that today’s travelers expect. The prestigious address places guests just steps away from Tallinn’s UNESCO-listed Old Town, with its cobblestone streets, towering church spires, and centuries-old architecture that transports visitors back to the Hanseatic era.
What truly sets LJ5 apart from other accommodations in Tallinn is its exclusive shared roof terrace—a feature subtly hinted at in its name but deserving of special attention. This rooftop oasis offers panoramic views of Tallinn’s distinctive skyline, where medieval towers and red-tiled roofs create a picturesque backdrop for memorable moments. Imagine sipping Estonian craft beer or local berry liqueur while watching the sunset paint the historic city in golden hues. The hotel’s prime location on Lühike jalg (which translates to “Short Leg” in Estonian) places guests on one of the most charming and historically significant streets in Tallinn, connecting the upper and lower parts of the Old Town. This strategic position means that major attractions such as Toompea Castle, Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, and the Old Town Square are just a leisurely stroll away.
The rooms at LJ5 strike a delicate balance between honoring Tallinn’s rich history and catering to contemporary needs. While preserving architectural elements that speak to Estonia’s medieval past, each room is thoughtfully appointed with modern comforts. The hotel’s outstanding 8.6 rating speaks volumes about guests’ satisfaction with both the accommodations and service quality. Previous visitors frequently highlight the attentive staff who provide insider tips on experiencing Tallinn like a local—from hidden cafés serving traditional Estonian cuisine to lesser-known viewpoints that capture the city’s unique character. Whether you’re in Tallinn for business or leisure, LJ5’s central location means you’re perfectly positioned to explore the city’s countless treasures, from its thriving cultural scene to its innovative culinary landscape that blends Nordic influences with distinctly Estonian traditions. For travelers seeking an authentic Tallinn experience in comfortable surroundings, LJ5 – Old Town Rooms with Exclusive shared Roof Terrace offers not just accommodation, but a genuine portal into the heart and soul of Estonia’s enchanting capital.

Reviews
Unforgettable night in old town. – Hsiang from Italy (9/10)
Great interior design. Superb location.
Spotless, 5 star, magically beautiful… want to move in 😂 – Tamas from Spain (9/10)
Honestly by far the most amazing accommodation i ever been in any country. I would totally move in, i really liked the place, its fantastic.
Absolutely central location, in a middle of old town area. Nonstop supermarket just 3 mins walk, many main sights of the city is in 5-10 mins walking distance. As well all other kind of shops and many restaurants. Main bus and train station is about 7-8 mins away. Also the oldest coffeeshop in Tallin is 5-6 minutes away.
Comfy bed, nice shower with the floor heating, hair drier, fridge, coffee machine. Absolute cleanliness…spot on, 5 star. Its a nicely renovated old building, have a communal well equipped kitchen and amazing roof terrace with a nice view of the city.
I could totally move in and live there, absolute 5 star, i loved it! When i come back, for sure i will stay here again!!Excellent stay to remember – Mariia from Germany (9/10)
The apartment is situated on an old cobbled street leading to the top of the Toompea hill, you feel yourself part of the history. The location is just perfect for walking through the city, close to all down town sights. The building and the apartment itself are very cozy and clean, but the most amazing is the roof terrace with the view over the roofs and a small cozy kitchen upstairs. There was everything needed and even more in the room. I was pleasntly surprised by the amount of sockets in the room.
Exceptional – Vanessa from Italy (9/10)
The location is very close to the city center!
Fabulous Old Town single room. – Tim from United Kingdom (9/10)
The room was small but perfectly formed and clean. The old building has been cleverly modernised without losing the old charm. The mat with the simple map of old town was surprisingly useful. Fantastic roof terrace with views of old town in all directions.
Wonderful – Marek from Czech Republic (9/10)
