Meriton Old Town Hotel Tallinn

I was with a group of people sight seeing and we enjoyed our stay very much. I love European hotels because of their uniquiness and this was a charming hotel. I would stay again - but maybe not with a group. When looking for a hotel I wanted to stay in Tallinn's old city in a not-to-expensive hotel - somewhere that my group could easily get around by walking. This was a great fit. This hotel is located on the wall inside old city. The walls in the hallway show the original stone wall. It's very nicely done. The hotel itself was clean, up-to-date, and comfortable (the beds were great!). It is located next to (well, maybe 2 blocks away from) St. Olaf's Church - which is a great starting point to see the city. You can climb the tower for a small price at St. Olaf's and get a great orientation. From our hotel, my group found it easy to walk to the main square (once we got a map - which the front desk will provide)... to Aleksander Nevski (the Russian Orthodox Church) and parliment... and to the main city gates. We actually wanted to walk some in the modern city and it took a 10 minute walk to get to the main gates of old town where you can get to the modern city part. It's easy. This hotel is on a quiet street of the old town - that is, if you stay on the "inside" of old city (facing inward toward old city). Our rooms faced the street behind the wall (on the outside) and it was quite noisy in the mornings. I can pretty much sleep through anything, but it did bother others in my group. I probably would ask for an inside room next time. My biggest 'complaint' and the reason I would probably not take a group again is that the rooms are tiny! :) We did honestly enjoy our stay, but it was a bit cramped. Put into perspective: we are Americans, like a lot of space, and we had big bags. My group did not complain and it was a perfect fit for us; but not sure it would be a good fit for all groups. If I were traveling alone, I would stay again. It has all you need - location, food (resturant downstairs), free breakfast, free wi-fi, clean water, clean rooms, comfortable beds, etc. So, my 'complaint' is small compared to the rest. If you are a easy traveler and want a comfortable place to stay, I recommend this hotel.

The hotel location is great, just by the entrance called Fat Margaret's Tower, an easy walk from the pier. We stayed 2 nights, arrrived early so our room was not ready but left the luggage in the luggage room. They have no safe deposit boxes in the rooms, but have one in the reception so we could leave our valuables there. We had a reservation for the least expensive room so our room faced the back of the hotel and the busy street that borders the wall, so there was noise from the street since there is no air condition and it was hot, (not stiffling hot but we needed to open the windows.) We got a corner room with a little balcony which was nice. )We were so tired from all the walking that this was not a major concern, but if you are a light sleeper you might want to upgrade to a room in the front since the town is mostly pedestriannand the front faces inside the wall.) The room size was average for european standards, clean with a nice bathroom. I had shopped around and for the location this was a good price. We value location first when deciding on a hotel and this was great. The breakfast buffet was very nice and included in the price. There was free wi-fi and one computer in the lobby for the patrons use. We loved Tallin, it is a very well preserved medieval town, easy to walk, with very nice shops, beautiful handicrafts, specially linen apparel, tablecloth, childrens clothing, scarfs, etc.) and nice little restaurants. . The weather was very nice, we were there july 14-16, it rained late one night as we were making our way back to the hotel, but the rest of the time was beautiful.

We were there on business, and hotel staff were all helpful in letting us use their facilities for meetings, etc. The atmosphere is quiet, historic details of the old city and the city wall are everywhere in tasteful dimensions. Rooms are small, so if you are in need of lots of space, this may not be the place for you.

Great Location Rooms are small - but OK for a single person (beds are average size) Bathrooms are also small Breakfast was great Front Desk staff not helpful when asking for directions or local sightseeing activities But for only £22 per night (special deal at the time), it is fantastic for the value

Good value for the money, even though the room was located at "0-floor" meaning that the room was at the basement and had only one small window under the ceiling.

Tulimme hotellin myöhäisenä ajankohtana, joka oli muyös hotellille ilmoitettu. Kumminkin huoneemme oli annettu muille. Jouduimme vielä keskellä yötä vaihtamaan hotellia. Kylläkin saatiin ilmainen taksi kyyti. Mutta meidän laitettiin suureen hotelliin, jollaiseen me ei missään nimessä olisi haluttu.

Мы отдыхали в этом отеле в январе. Прочитали все отзывы перед бронированием, поэтому были готовы к маленьким комнатам и небогатому завтраку. Очень порадовал тот факт, что нам разрешили оставить машину перед отелем бесплатно (там очень мало парковочных мест, поэтому нам повезло), а в целом, мы остались очень довольны этим отелем, его хорошим местоположением, обслуживанием и тишиной по ночам. Думаю летом вернемся туда снова.
