Arriving late one afternoon, I called in to the 5 star Swiss Hotel. Their prices were beyond what I could afford at the time but they recommended (and even booked!) this hotel for me despite having no connection with it. Whilst I have been in plusher 4 star hotels (I would rate this one as 3 and a half stars),... More

Decent hotel in a very central location. The standard room had plenty of space and was clean. The hotel has several restaurants and bars, and apparently there's a KGB museum on the top floor! The hotel is attached to a shopping mall that has plenty of clothing stores, cafes and a decent bookstore. We stayed during the weekend, so there... More

A former soviet building converted into an average hotel, nothing too great or too bad. But it's location just 2 minutes from the gate of the old city is just great! More

I did not stay at the hotel, but in the hotel itself you can get a guided tour of the top floor of the hotel where KGB once had their offices - those offices were of course top secret and have only been opened to the public a few years ago. Not only does one get to see the offices,... More

Stayed on the 21st floor of this hotel for nearly two weeks. The hotel itself is in a excellent location, as it is situated very close to public transport and and the centre of Tallinn itself; the historical old centre of Tallinn being a 2 minute walk away and a shopping centre attached to the hotel and another a 5...

Hotel itself it dated and really old, in desperate need of renovation. Basically the lobby area is nice and modern but the rooms are ugly and small. Bathroom is spacious though. You can't hear the traffic outside. Breakfast was good, a little poor on the selection (enough of everything, though) but the food itself tastes good. The breakfast room was... More

I stayed at Viru with a friend and we were all and all happy with the place. Location is excellent and the service was very friendly and flexible. Our room was clean and spacious and the beds comfortable . The breakfast was good, no surprises to either direction there. The hotel has a free Wi-Fi-connection. More
