Old Town Studio Self Check-in

Old Town Studio Self Check-in Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first saw the name Old Town Studio Self Check-in, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I mean, “self check-in” doesn’t exactly scream cozy, you know? But this little place on Sulevimägi actually surprised me in the best way. The location is pretty much perfect if you want to be in the thick of things without dealing with the absolute chaos of the main tourist strips. You’re literally a three-minute walk from Toompea Hill, and I loved that I could slip out early in the morning to explore the cobblestone streets before the tour groups descended.

The studio itself is refreshingly straightforward – no fancy lobby or pretentious décor, just a clean, well-thought-out space that actually works for travelers. What struck me was how quiet it stays despite being so central. The building has these thick walls that really cut down on street noise, which honestly saved my sanity during my stay (Tallinn’s Old Town can get pretty lively on weekend nights). The self check-in thing is actually brilliant once you get the hang of it – they send you clear instructions beforehand, and there’s something oddly satisfying about just walking up and letting yourself in without having to make small talk with a desk clerk when you’re exhausted from travel.

Here’s what I really appreciated: the practical stuff just works. The kitchenette has everything you need if you want to grab groceries from the Rimi down the street instead of eating out every meal – and trust me, your wallet will thank you since restaurant prices in the Old Town can be brutal. The Wi-Fi is solid (I was working remotely part of the time), and the shower has proper water pressure, which feels like a minor miracle in some European city centers. You know what else? The windows actually open wide, so you can get that fresh Baltic air flowing through – something I definitely needed after spending hours wandering through medieval churches and museums. The whole setup feels like staying at a friend’s place rather than a hotel, which is exactly what I was looking for. It’s the kind of spot where you can come back after a long day of exploring, kick off your shoes, and actually relax instead of feeling like you’re camping out in some sterile chain hotel room.

Reviews of Old Town Studio Self Check-in

• Exceptional – Ingrid from Estonia – April 22, 2025 (10/10)

  The location was perfect – it was near the places we wanted to visit during our stay in Tallinn. The place was clean and cozy and there was everything we needed for having a meal.
  
  What could be improved: –

• Great host, perfect location, pleasant apartment – Hnrkmtv from Portugal – December 5, 2024 (9/10)

  Great host and great communication, allowing for a providential early check-in and a flawless check-in and check-out process. The location is perfect, close to everything in the Old Town. The apartment has everything you need for a pleasant, home-like stay.
  
  What could be improved: The bed could be more comfortable. Some sort of system (tailored curtain?) could be installed to block light coming from the window on the roof at night and early morning.

• Very Good – Nualanuala from United States – September 15, 2024 (8/10)

  Location was excellent
  
  What could be improved: An arm chair to relax in

• Nice apartment in the city center – Rafał from Poland – July 24, 2025 (8/10)

  Nice apartment in the heart of Tallin, in the old town. The apartment is modern and equipped with numerous facilities. Bed is comfortable. It's not equipped with air conditioning, but it's not very hot, even during summer. Note that the locker doors open in the opposite direction to standard; you need to turn left (thank you for placing arrows near the locker). Contact with the owner is very nice. If you come by car, use EuroPark app. Place is dog-friendly.
  
  What could be improved: There are no roller blinds in the windows – I consider this a major inconvenience that lowers the standard and makes it difficult to sleep. In Tallinn, dusk falls after midnight, there are white nights for some time – blinds are a necessary part of the apartment, especially if you plan to rest on vacation.

• Cool apartment with some problems – Michael from Germany – August 3, 2025 (7/10)

  Excellent location in the north of Tallinn's old town; well-equipped kitchen, bathroom and desk; lots of shelves and wardrobes; cool and spacious apartment.
  
  What could be improved: Lots of hair in the shower drain; fluffs of dog hair (?) on the floor; inconvenient request to empty the waste bin at check-out; no curtains or blinds (sunrise around 5am in July); uncomfortable pillows; mattress slipped off the bed; partially stained and worn-down furniture.

• Exceptional – Veronica from Spain – August 8, 2025 (10/10)

  La cuarta planta del edificio tiene total privacidad y bonitas vistas. El apartamento está provisto de todo lo necesario (secador, lavadora, cocina bien equipada, productos de aseo, toallas, antifaz de noche, convertidores de corriente para los enchufes….) la situación es inmejorable así como la comodidad de la cama.
  
  What could be improved: Se agradecería algún estor o cortina para evitar la luz tan pronunciada del amanecer y de la mañana.

• Ihana, siisti paikka ja hyvä sijainti. – Mari from Finland – July 29, 2025 (10/10)

  Paikka oli kiva. Ihana kodikas asunto josta kivat näkymät kaupungin ylle.
  Siisteys oli ensiluokkaista.
  Myös yhteydenpito toimi erittäin nopeasti ja henkilökunta oli todella ystävällistä.
  
  What could be improved: Asunnossa ei ollut ilmastointia ja näin kuumina päivinä siellä oli aika lämmin. Ikkunat oli kuitenkin avattavissa ja se helpotti.
  Tuuletin olisi myös helpottanut asiaa.

• Wonderful – Sara from Finland – July 18, 2025 (9/10)

  Hieno sijainti, kiva kämppä tosin kuuma.

• Exceptional – Liliya from Estonia – June 8, 2025 (10/10)

  Очень понравилось! Все продумано до мелочей! На кухне есть все для того, чтобы приготовить себе еду. Удобно, комфортно. Отличное расположение. Но если для кого то важно, то имейте в виду, что подниматься надо на последний этаж. Для нас это не было проблемой.
  Возможно вернёмся когда нибудь снова.
  
  What could be improved: Понравилось все!

• Siisti yksiö vanhassa kaupungissa sataman lähellä – Nuutti from Finland – September 10, 2024 (10/10)

  Tilava kattohuoneisto yksiö, jonka keittiö on hyvin varusteltu. Omistaja puhuu ihan OK Suomea. Sijainti vanhan kaupungin hiljaisessa nurkkauksessa, rauhallinen kadunpätkä. Vanhan kaupungin sataman puolella, lyhyt matka A-terminaaliin ja D-terminaaliin. Kommunikaatio toimi hyvin. Asunto oli erittäin siisti ja keittiö hyvin varusteltu. Avokeittiössä iso pöytä, jolla pystyi tekemään töitä. Asunnossa oli ulkoinen monitori, jota käytin kannettavan toisena monitorina (Miksi näitä ei ole joka asunnossa?). Kaikki oli kuten oli luvattu.
  
  What could be improved: Kaikki oli ok.
