Well we've changed countries! Woke up in Finland and will go to bed in Estonia. I woke this morning feeling a bit ill. Could be tiredness etc but I think it might also possibly be the different water - I've been drinking quite a bit of water yesterday. Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania have not yet achieved "acceptable European standards" for sewage & for water quality, so as of tonight, we'll be drinking bottled water or other drinks. Anyway, as I say, I felt sick this morning. We packed up ready ...
Tallinn, Estonia austega
From David - Hi all, Today was an old town day and one that we, but not our feet, enjoyed. We slept fairly well. Kerry found it still a little warm, but we are progressively learning to adapt to the Nordic tendency to want to keep internal temperatures warmer than we would. In this case we have to set the (ineffective) air conditioning thermostat to 5°C, and even then we now have the window open as a supplement after the room was closed up during the day. We had intended to do our laundry in ...
Tallinn, Estonia austega
Today has been wet - not just drizzling or threatening, but definitely wet. Our photos of the last couple of days would probably have been better with a blue sky rather than grey, but going out this morning & seeing people posing in front of city walls in rain jackets & hoods - well they had to be new here. About half the local residents used umbrellas and about half just had rain coats and hats or hoods. Mostly I was glad to have my fold-out umbrella, but a few times when it was really windy...

FOOTLOOSE IN TALLINN ...DVD available from Amazon co.uk Debra's Diary ~ June , 2008 Tallinn has to be the friendliest city we have visited in a long time - we were greeted at the airport by Mall, our Tourism official, with a small bouquet of cornflowers and white daisies, the colours of their national flag. And that set the tone, really. Estonia is so unashamedly basking in their identity, it makes you smile. They are so enthusiastic about showing the visitor who they are and everything there...

Historical Traveler Reviews of Reval Central Tallinn
Very convenient
The way to arrive to the hotel is quite easy. Just taking the bus line #2 and walking down at the "Tallink Hotel" stop. From there, just 5' walking (or less). The location is really good. You are just a short stroll to the old town while sleeping in a quiet are. In my oppinion, very convenient.
My request of a room at the 6th floor with balcony done at reservation time was honoured at check-in without having to remind it.
The room (a twin one) was really modern following a "nordic" style and perfectly clean. Wood floor, a nice desk area and a couple of comfortable chair with another table. The room was quite spacious as bathroom was. Bed was soft and comfortable but the pillows were small (just a square) so I had to took another one from the empty bed.
There is a mini-bar with a nice frigde to leave your own drinks :)
I'd liked a safe box to leave my laptop computer (there is free WiFi at the hotel and around all the city).
On the bad side, from my room (635) I could listen some "noise" and vibrations from the ventilation room (next to mine). Not really disturbing the sleep, but a bit annoying.
The spotless bathroom had heating floor. For those loving water pressure on the shower they can be happy. On the negative side is there are no amenities. Just shower gel and hairdryer.
The breakfast was nothing special (at least for my taste) and the breakfast tables area should be more cleaner.
After reading some negative comments about the staff. I only can say that with me were always very courteous and smiling.
Stone Face Staffs
It is quite a long walk from Linda Line's ferry terminal (about 20 minutes). Walking to old town is 10 minutes. Shopping center and supermarket across the main street. Room size is reasonable but the extra bed is very
small. Not for adult
Staffs at reception desk had stone face most of the time and appeared to be very impatient when asking about leaving our luggage behind after check-out
Breakfast is in line with Scandic hotels in Helsinki
Recommend Gloria (in old town) for lunch or dinner (they have two restaurants one in the wine cellar which is cheaper but limited choice). The formal one is quite expensive. US$50 per person (appertizer plus main course) without wine
Exceeded expectations
Top tip: request a room on the 6th floor and you should get a balcony.
We ate out en masse at a fabulous restaurant in the old town square that I cannot recommend highly enough. The waiting staff dealt with 23 boisterous Scots with fantastic charm and good humour. It was called Mariekhva (I think)
Excellent Tourist Class Hotel
Late review due to only just knowing about website....
Excellent hotel, slightly away from the touristy areas such as the old square, but well within walking distance.
The staff are very friendly & extremely helpful.
Highly recommended is the rental of the spa room, for about £25 per hour you can rent the spa room which has its own sauna & hot tub as well as showers and a WC. Great for relaxing after a hard day walking around.... even better I'd imagine if you go as a couple!
The breakfast is very good and the hotel bar isn't over priced - there is even an off licence across the road if you want alcohol cheaper!
Great location & well presented hotel
My room (602)was a 'standard single' and is one of the smallest rooms I've ever stayed in. But, it was modern, very clean and the bed comfortable. TV had english channels, pay movies, bathroom was tiny with only a shower, but again very clean. No tea/coffee facilities.
Breakfast in the lobby seemed to be a free-for-all with people walking in off the street, but it was a hot buffet with a good choice and there is plenty of seating available.
All in all cheap, tidy, well located and fine for a short stopover.
Good location
Best Hotel - We Love It!
Great Location
First of all the location is really good. Only about 5 minutes walk from Old Town and 2 minutes from Viru centre with loads of shops.
I stayed in a normal room which was quite small compared to other hotels I've stayed in. There was a small tv, an open wardrobe and a small desk with phone. The ensuite was also small but was clean and the shower was nice and hot. No bath though.
The room was fine for a 2-3 night stay but if I was staying longer I would probably want to upgrade to a superior room.
Breakfast was served in the bar and was buffet style and had a good selection including English tea, yahoo!
Only minus point was the sauna where they charge you 400eek (about £20) to use it. It accomadates up to 8 people but we couldn't find another 6 to use it with us! It's the same charge whether there is 2 of you or 8 which is a bit bizarre.
Apart from that the hotel was clean and comfortable and I'd certainly receommend it. By the way it's only about a 10 minute walk from the ferry terminal but there is tram which leaves from outside the hotel and drops you close to the entrance to the terminal.
Great 3 star !
Tthe breakfast buffet was also good. Iwould use it again if ever returning.
Great Hotel
We always book a superior room as these rooms are bigger with a large bath tub and a mini fridge. The rooms are larger than in many five star establishments yet considerably cheaper.
There is free internet access in the lobby, and the reception staff are always friendly and helpful. There is an ATM just outside the entrance door which is very useful as hotel exchange rates are not usually very good.
The breakfast buffet is good, the usual Swedish selection of cold meats, fish, fruit, salads, yogurts, breads, cakes, cheeses, sausages, scrambled eggs and hard boiled eggs. Only good and not great cos it doesn't have my favourite soft boiled eggs. But plenty for the greediest of piggies.
The Old Town is a five minute walk away, as is the port, there is a shopping centre just two minutes away, tram stop likewise, and an off licence round the corner. The hotel restaurant and snack bar are also excellent.
My only word of warning is DON'T USE THE RESTAURANT OPPOSITE IT IS RUBBISH.
