Luxury Suites with sauna by Rikas Hotels

First Impressions

Walking into Luxury Suites with sauna by Rikas Hotels, you immediately get that boutique feel — it’s not trying to be a massive chain hotel, and honestly, that works in its favor. The lobby has this clean, Nordic aesthetic that feels authentically Estonian rather than generic European. You know what struck me most? The staff actually seemed to know the neighborhood inside and out, which isn’t always a given at four-star properties.

Location & Neighborhood

The location is honestly fantastic — you’re right in Tallinn‘s Old Town area, and I mean really in it, not just “walking distance” like some places claim. You can literally step outside and be at Raekoja plats (Town Hall Square) in about three minutes. The medieval walls are practically next door, and there’s this great little café called Reval Café just around the corner that locals actually frequent. I noticed couples seem particularly drawn to this spot, probably because you can wander the cobblestone streets without dealing with tourist crowds first thing in the morning.

The Suites

The room setup is where this place really shines — these aren’t just hotel rooms with a sitting area tacked on. Each suite has a proper living space that feels like an actual apartment, complete with a functional kitchenette that’s not just for show. The beds are comfortable (firm but not rock-hard), and the windows are well-insulated, which matters when you’re in the city center. What really sets it apart though is having your own private sauna — and I mean, this is Finland’s neighbor, so they know how to do saunas properly.

Amenities & Dining

The sauna situation deserves its own mention because it’s not just a tiny box in the corner. These are proper Finnish-style saunas that actually get hot enough to matter, and after walking around Tallinn’s hilly streets all day, you’ll appreciate it. There isn’t a full restaurant on-site, but honestly, with that kitchenette and the Old Town’s incredible food scene right outside, you don’t really need one. The nearby Olde Hansa is touristy but fun, and for something more authentic, head to F-hoone — it’s about a ten-minute walk and worth every step.

Why Guests Love It

What makes this place work is the combination of space, location, and those little touches that show someone was actually thinking about the guest experience. The parking situation is handled well too — they’ve got arrangements with nearby lots, which in Old Town Tallinn is basically a minor miracle. You’re paying for the location and the suite setup, and honestly, it delivers on both fronts. It’s not the cheapest option in town, but when you factor in the space, the sauna, and being able to walk to everything that matters in Tallinn, it actually makes sense financially — especially if you’re staying more than a night or two.

Best hotels in Tallinn blend vaulted wine cellars, rooftop spas, and tasting menus of foraged Nordic flavors.
