Niguliste 6 Old Town Penthouse

Niguliste 6 Old Town Penthouse Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Niguliste 6 Old Town Penthouse? I honestly wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place, but stepping into this penthouse completely flipped my assumptions. The location is absolutely killer – you’re literally in the heart of Tallinn’s medieval old town, which means you can stumble out the door and be walking on cobblestones that have been there for centuries. I mean, the building itself sits right near St. Nicholas’ Church (that’s what Niguliste means, actually), so you’re getting this incredible mix of history and modern comfort that’s pretty hard to find.

The penthouse setup is what really makes this place special, though. Most accommodations in the old town are these cramped little rooms in medieval buildings – which have their charm, don’t get me wrong – but this spot gives you actual space to breathe. The windows offer these sweeping views over the red-tiled rooftops, and on clear mornings you can see all the way to the harbor. There’s something almost surreal about sipping your coffee while looking out over a UNESCO World Heritage site, especially when the early morning light hits those church spires. The apartment itself feels lived-in rather than sterile – good quality furnishings without trying too hard to be fancy. Honestly, it’s the kind of place where you actually want to hang out rather than just crash for the night.

What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets once the day-trippers clear out. Old town can be absolutely packed during peak season (especially those cruise ship days – yikes), but evenings have this magical stillness where you can actually hear your own thoughts. The only sounds are maybe some distant laughter from the restaurants down on Raekoja plats or the occasional clip-clop of a horse-drawn carriage on the cobblestones below. Parking is… well, it’s old town, so forget about driving right up to the door. But there’s decent parking just outside the city walls, maybe a five-minute walk through the Viru gate. The host was straightforward about logistics during check-in – no runaround, just practical info about keys, Wi-Fi, and where to find the good grocery store (hint: not the tourist-trap places on the main square). With that 9.2 rating, I get why people keep coming back. It’s one of those places that manages to feel authentically local while still giving you the comfort level you actually want on vacation.
