Taanilinna Hotel, Tallinn, Estonia

Lovely old hotel in a great location - 2 mins walk to Viru Gates and 10 mins to Old Town. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Better directions to hotel would have been helpful - not everyone uses google maps :) The hotel is very old - no lifts and lots of stairs and small windows. This was fine for us but may not suit everyone. Breakfast was nice and good selection however not varied but was plentiful and lovely coffee. One small issue we had was with basic housekeeping. On the first morning, we returned to the hotel and discovered that although the room had been tidied, our toiletries had not been replenished and on the second day, our toilet paper also was not replenished. These are small things however are basic housekeeping. We would stay again however as the location, staff and hotel in general were very pleasant !!

The hotel is perfectly situated in the Old Town. The staff is nice and helpful, and our room was spacious and comfortable. However, the smells in this hotel were awful. In the bathroom but also in the common areas, it smelled like sewage. It made it difficult to stay in the room and the smell was also quite disturbing while earning breakfast in the restaurant. Too bad, because otherwise I would totally recommend this hotel.

Great hotel in a great location. I'm not one for continental breakfasts but this was pretty good. Staff extremely helpful although sometimes there was a slight language difficulty, but to be fair, their English was infinitely better than my Estonian. The only criticism if any was that the room fridge didn't work but never caused us a problem. Overall I would rate this very highly. Not swank or boutique but homely and welcoming.

The positive side is very good location, however room wasn't clean nor was it in good condition. The walls were so thin that neighbours seemed to be in the same room wit us. The reception was not very helpful. As for breakfast, it seemed as they finished serving it an hour before and we only got leftovers sitting in a silent room..

A brilliantly located hotel with friendly staff. Breakfast included was an added bonus and buying food in the Old Town could be expensive.
