This hotel's main plus was Anna at reception. She was very nice, helpful and recommended the best restaurant in town (Lime lounge) to us. Otherwise, there's not too much to recommend it. The room was ok, it was decently sized and clean. But it was on the third floor, and there was no elevator (a very steep, sharp staircase), there was no air conditioning, and we could not get internet service in the room. The hotel is located 10-15 minutes' walk from the beach. The advantage of that was that there were no families with kids, and we were close to the better restaurants. And the price of 1500 eek / night was cheaper than the Scandic or the Strand. Unfortunately, this month is peak wedding season and there is some idiot custom of wedding parties to drive around town in a procession of vehicles and honk their horns all day long, at all hours. So that sort of interfered with sleep. But that I think is throughout Parnu. Although these processions aim to circle local monuments and landmarks. So if your hotel is near one, don't count on a nap or even sleep on Sunday at 6 am. There is parking at the Grand, so that's nice. But breakfast was just bad. And the servers were awful. The food was sort of scarce, and there wasn't anything good - wonderbread, herring, tomato slices, cheese. Meh. You could ask for eggs, but when we did, they got our order completely wrong, insisted that we eat it anyway and then finally re-made the eggs even worse than before. My husband got essentially liquid egg smeared on a plate with a massive, I mean massive, bush of basil as garnish. Tiny coffee cups that the awful waiter occasionally refilled, but no milk and no sugar on tables, so you had to get up like 4 times to fix coffee. Just not good. Oh, and the room had exactly 2 towels. We got more when we asked, but between my hair and the beach, we definitely needed more towels, and that should have been obvious. This is a simple, no frills hotel.

Victoria is an ok hotel, centrally located near the shopping street Rüütli. Good hotel if you want something not too expensive. It has to be added that I am uses to staying at 5 star hotels.

We booked this hotel after visiting relatives ten years ago. Let me tell you that they haven't spent any money on upkeep of this hotel. The hotel in general looks run down and needs a face lift. We had five nights booked here and after the first hour in the hotel we left and changed hotels.

My wife and I stayed here for one night in mid-August en route from Tallinn to Riga. We wanted a day at the beach to break up what was otherwise a trip full of city exploration. The Hotel Victoria is centrally located in Parnu and roughly 10 minutes walk from the beach. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and all spoke decent English. Breakfast was quite good, with a good array of buffet items as well as made-to-order eggs, all served in the hotel's charming dining room/restaurant. Our 'junior double' room on the third floor (no elevator) was okay -- the 'junior' part evidently refers to the fact that our double bed was wedged up against a wall and so one could only exit the bed from one side. The room was clean enough and the bathroom w/ large shower stall was spacious enough, but there were little things that weren't quite right for a place billed as elegant or upmarket by some websites -- for example, there was a half-meter-long tear in the bedspread, a tear in one of the lampshades, and our shower stall sliding glass door was partially broken.
