I have to start with the lovely entrance to the magnificent old building transferred to a little cozy hotel just took my breath away. I have to admit that I didn’t know what to expect regarding to the fact that my boyfriend had booked and fixed everything to celebrate my birthday, but I also have to say that at least... More

We've just come back few days ago from our trip to Tallinn and I really want to share our opinion with all of you about this hotel. First of all, we were welcomed by receptionist Kirill and even greated by names that was already a kind of personal touch, although I knew that the hotel was full. Everything what I... More

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff and management of CRU Tallinn, for an absolutely outstanding culinary experience! It was without a doubt the highlight of our dining experience in Tallinn, one which I would not hesitate to recommend to those seeking a fine dining experience.

First....This hotel is generally good, but look into what you actually get if you book one of the packages........I booked a one night romantic package. All is not made clear when booking. Price included 3 course meal, and breakfast, I was disappointed to learn you do not have a choice of meal, waiter told us what we would be eating,... More

Really special place - old building, placed in old town with ancient rooms (walls are original stone) so You are surrounded with history. Good breakfast, very nice staff, proffesional reception. One of the best hotels I have ever been.

We stayed two nights with my friend on room no 1. Room wasn´t very big but it had a nice big window and big bathroom. Room was comfortable and very clean. Bed was one of the most comfortable I´ve ever slept in! Hotel is small, cosy and personal. Free wi-fi worked good. We found the service in the reception very... More

Having stayed at this hotel for 2 nights I can say about no disadvantages but absence of elevator (quite explainable in protected historical building) and poor lightning in the room (also OK for medieval-style hotel). Location, staff, atmosphere, breakfast - all was just great. I can see absolutely no reason to pay twice for Schlossle (been there too). But don't... More

The rooms had mixture of both old and modern furniture. The staffs were not that friendly but they were helpful. We ate out;... More

This place is stunning, with lovely rooms in an old merchant's building and great service. Right in the heart of Old Town, easy to walk everywhere. They have a sauna but I didn't get a chance to try it. The attached restaurant was amazing too!
