Reviews

  Great location. Friendly and helpful host. Exceptionally designed and appointed room. Enjoyed the fireplace and the amenities.

• Jamie from United States – 26 January 2025 (9/10)

  The location is excellent and I love the ambiance of the area, every time I visit it is magical. It is easy walking distance to anyplace in Old Town and even lovely spots in the city. It is an historic building, walking through the doors kind of feels like stepping into the past. I love the simplicity and history of the place, the convenience, and the kindness of the host and shopkeepers in the courtyard. It feels like returning to a home away from home, if my home were as magical as Tallinn.

  I selected this accommodation because of its central location in Tallinn old town. All of the main tourist attractions and restaurants were all with easy walking distance of the accommodation.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing to dislike. The apartment space was a little tight, but to be expected in an original building. Certainly, OK for solo travellers.

  My friend and I had a wonderful stay at Villa Hortensia. We came over for the half marathon, and spent a lovely few days going around the city. The hotel is in the prettiest courtyard in Tallinn, the Masters Courtyard. We loved coming back there every day. The room we were in had everything we needed and was clean and tidy, and our hosts were friendly and helpful. Thank you so much Villa Hortensia!
