TallinnHousing Old Town Elegance Vana-Viru Overview

You know what caught me off guard about TallinnHousing Old Town Elegance Vana-Viru? The name makes it sound like some massive hotel chain, but it’s actually this intimate little place tucked right into the medieval heart of Tallinn’s Old Town. I mean, when you’re literally steps away from cobblestone streets that date back centuries, the “elegance” part starts making perfect sense.

The location is honestly unbeatable – you’re basically living inside a UNESCO World Heritage site. I could walk to Town Hall Square in about two minutes, and those iconic medieval towers? They’re so close you’ll hear the church bells marking every hour (which is charming during the day, though you might want to pack earplugs if you’re a light sleeper). What I really appreciated was how the building itself feels like it belongs there – none of that jarring modern glass-and-steel nonsense that some places try to squeeze into historic districts. The rooms have this understated European elegance thing going on, sort of minimalist but warm, if that makes sense. Three stars might not sound impressive on paper, but honestly, the 9.1 rating tells the real story here.

Here’s the thing about staying in Tallinn’s Old Town – and this applies to this place too – you’re trading some modern conveniences for pure atmosphere. The streets are narrow (forget about pulling right up to the entrance with a big rental car), and the buildings are old, which means you might hear your neighbors occasionally. But honestly? That’s part of the charm. I loved being able to slip out for an early morning walk when the tourist crowds were still sleeping, watching the city wake up with just the locals heading to work. The staff actually knows the area – like, really knows it. They pointed me toward this little bakery on Pikk street that I never would have found otherwise, and steered me away from the obvious tourist traps around Raekoja plats. Check-in was smooth, no drama, and they were genuinely helpful about things like where to find decent coffee (surprisingly important when you’re dealing with jet lag) and which restaurants actually serve locals instead of just tour groups. If you’re the type who needs a big hotel lobby and room service, this probably isn’t your spot. But if you want to feel like you’re actually staying in medieval Tallinn rather than just visiting it – well, that’s exactly what you get here.

TallinnHousing Old Town Elegance Vana-Viru Accommodations

Reviews of TallinnHousing Old Town Elegance Vana-Viru

• A real gem of an accomodation for families and couples. – Antsu1981 from Finland (10/10)

  We stayed for a week and our goal was to explore Tallinn a little better. The apartment was an absolute gem. Clean, simple, comfortable and the location was simply perfect. A great value for money. It was nice to enjoy a glass of wine on the balcony overlooking people wandering below and when it strated to rain, just move indoors and sit on the wide window sills.
  Instructions about the stay were very clear and easy to follow. Host was very accommodating and friendly. Will definitely book again and highly recommend.
  Right next door there are two grocery stores, two very nice cocktail bars, a fantastic local dumpling cafe and an easy access to old town. The tram and bus stops are only a few minutes away as well so you can get around very easily.

• Convenient, spacious apartment just inside the Old Town. – John from Austria (8/10)

  The 1 bedroom apartment is spacious, modern, and clean, right on the edge of the Old Town. Getting into it was easy—note that you have to climb a flight of stairs with your luggage. The bed was comfortable as were the sofa and chairs. The apartment is right next to the old town wall so it is very quick walk to all the major sights. You can also quickly get to other parts of town via public transit. There’s a small grocery store almost next door.

• Wonderful – Tatiana from Austria (9/10)

  Новые, уютные, очень чистые апартаменты в центре города, рядом супермаркет, ресторанчики. Соответствует описанию. Кровать удобная. Подходит хорошо для пар с детьми, так как это полноценные 2 комнаты и кухня-столовая. Кухня удобная и оснащена всем необходимым см. фото (плита, посудомойка, чайник, посуда, бокалы, соль./перец, масло и тд), Хозяйка всегда была на связи. На воротах двора цифровой код (капризный), но вопрос решают. Вариант не подойдет людям с ограниченными возможностями, нет лифта. Возьмите тапочки с собой)
