W Apartments Kalaranna I

W Apartments Kalaranna I Overview

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first heard about W Apartments Kalaranna I, I wasn’t sure what to expect. The Kalaranna area is this fascinating mix of old industrial charm and new development that’s been quietly transforming over the past few years. But stepping into these apartments? Well, that 9.9 rating suddenly made complete sense.

The building itself sits in what used to be part of Tallinn’s creative quarter, and you can feel that artistic energy everywhere. I mean, you’re literally walking distance from some of the coolest converted warehouse spaces and waterfront spots that most tourists never even discover. What really got me though was how the apartments manage to feel both sleek and welcoming – you know how some places try too hard to be modern and end up feeling cold? Not here. The spaces are thoughtfully designed with these great big windows that actually open (thank goodness), and the kitchens are equipped well enough that you could genuinely cook a proper meal if you wanted to skip the restaurant scene for a night.

The neighborhood itself is honestly one of those gems that locals are still a bit protective about. You’ll find yourself wandering down to the harbor area without really planning it, and there’s this wonderful mix of quiet residential streets and little pockets of activity. Parking isn’t the nightmare you might expect – there’s actually decent street parking if you know where to look, though I’d recommend asking the staff for their insider tips on the best spots. The sound levels are surprisingly good too; even with windows open on summer evenings, you’re not dealing with the typical city noise you’d get in the Old Town area. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward – none of that awkward hovering around a tiny reception desk situation you sometimes get with apartment hotels.

What really sets this place apart though is the attention to details that actually matter when you’re living somewhere, even temporarily. The Wi-Fi works properly in every corner (tested it myself while working from the kitchen table), the shower pressure is excellent, and there’s enough storage space that you can actually unpack if you’re staying more than a couple nights. You know what impressed me most? The building stays quiet – I think it’s the type of travelers this place attracts, but also just good management. I stayed during what should have been a busy weekend and barely heard my neighbors.

The 4-star rating feels about right – it’s not trying to be flashy or over-the-top luxurious, but everything works exactly as it should. And honestly, with Tallinn’s compact size, being based in Kalaranna means you’re close enough to everything that matters while avoiding the sometimes overwhelming tourist density of the more central areas. If you’re the type of traveler who appreciates staying somewhere that feels more like a really good temporary home than a hotel room, this is definitely worth considering. Just don’t be surprised if you find yourself planning your next Tallinn trip before you’ve even checked out.

• Exceptional – Indra from Latvia (10/10)

  Your luxary stay in Tallinn. In a fantastic neighbourhood, quite, just around the corner from the center, and walking distance to everything. Interior of the apartment if very light, professionally made, to the last detail. We felt like at home, instead of 2 nights prolonged or sray to 4 :), just couldn't leave, we so much felt like at home, just another place. High quality mattresses, bed linen, very well equipped kitchen. And we found there also complimentary kama- a traditional Estonian dish, for breakfast, made in a special recipe super tasty, by the owner. We enjoyed every moment there. Thank you Kristel! We will be back!

• Relaxing stay in a lovely apartment close to everything. – Tracy from United States of America (10/10)

  We loved our stay in this beautiful apartment. The apartment is very well located – just a 10-minute walk to the old town, and a short walk to the harbor and the Noblessner neighborhood. The apartment itself was gorgeous – very bright, clean and comfortable. We only stayed for 2 nights and did not "eat in," but the kitchen has everything you need to prepare multiple meals. The beds were very comfortable, and the linens and towels were of excellent quality. The apartment was also very, very quiet. Kristel was a great communicator from the moment we booked – she had lots of wonderful recommendations for places to eat, get coffee and grab gelato. She made check-in a breeze and then checked in on us during our stay and made sure we had everything we needed. We enjoyed trying her "kama" for breakfast – such a thoughtful (and delicious) touch. All in all, we heartily recommend staying in this lovely apartment.
