Reviews

• Exceptional – Elaine from United States of America (8/10)

  Clean, quiet, beautiful building.

• Wonderful – Fiona from United Kingdom (9/10)

  Lovely little hotel. Rooms are small but clean and comfortable. Kettle and mini fridge in room. Decent shower in bathroom. Our room was above the street but really very quiet in the main. Great breakfast buffet with something to suit everyone.

• Wonderful – Mayya from Russia (9/10)

  Great location, friendly staff, the breakfast was good, and the room was clean. It was quiet too, which was a blessing (some hotels in Tallinn are located next to very loud clubs, thankfully this was not the case). I would gladly stay there again.

• Beautiful building in an amazing location. Great if you’re looking for something different with value for money. – Jonathan from Finland (8/10)

  Great location and the building had so much character

• Small room in superbly located, good value hotel. – George from United Kingdom (8/10)

  The location was excellent and interesting – right on Pikki, the main street in the Old Town. The room was small but well designed, reasonably comfortable and fully adequate for us. The staff were helpful in letting us leave luggage with them ahead of check-in and after check-out. We had a long walk along corridors and up a set of stairs at the far end from where we checked in to our room, which worried us a little beofre we started – and then found that we had walked the length of the block inside the hotel and that the main street was easily accessible, two floors down, via another exit.

• Very Good – Deirdre from Ireland (8/10)

  I liked the Meriton. It is a very old building in the Old Town of Tallinn. It is old fashioned but comfortable and reception staff were very pleasant and ordered a taxi for me to go to the airport. There was a good selection of food at breakfast time. It is literally a two minute walk to the Town Hall Square but was still fairly quiet.

• Tallin – Barr from United States of America (9/10)

  The staff was great.
  Breakfast buffet adequate.
  The location was perfect. Around the corner from Old Town square.
