Swissotel Tallinn, Tallinn, Estonia

This is a huge uncompromisingly modern hotel sited about 10 minutes walk from the Old Town. It has every facility including a gym, spa and serious sized swimming pool (€10 a day). Rooms are vast with huge granite bathrooms (though not all have baths). Every surface in the hotel gleams if it doesn't dazzle. Most rooms (we were on floor 21) have panoramic views. Lifts whizz. Staff are cheerful and courteous and do what they promise. Arranging for housekeeping at a particular time so we could change for a wedding was no problem. Breakfast is buffet with just about everything available... but orange juice was from concentrate. Coffee is poured, but refilled instantly. Swissotel is not a characterful boutique; it doesn't try to be. It is a chain hotel at the highest level - perhaps a little soulless, but with every facility. Pity about the orange juice.

My husband and I had an excellent stay in Swissotel Tallinn. We made the choice to upgrade our room to a harbour view, which was well worth the extra money. The room was spacious, and the service was excellent, the only small criticism is that the bed was quite uncomfortable for our preferences (quite hard, rather than slightly soft!)

It is a great hotel and good location. Helpful and friendly staff. Excellent breakfast and service. A little too expensive in the roof top bar. We also had to pay extra for the pool which was unclear.

Not the cheapest place, but well worth the money spent. Great room, great breakfast!
