The hotel is quite new and therefore ok quality, rooms are clean etc. However this hotel seems to be in the favor of "Finnish vodka tourists" whose only mission in Tallinn is to drink as much cheap vodka as possible as well as take it back to Finland. There was no problem with the drunk ones (except the atmosphere isn't very nice) and the hotel was peaceful during the night-time but it's certainly not a great place for a romantic getaway.

The hotel is located in the harbour, about 15-20 minutes walk from old town. The area isn't very nice but who spends the whole time in the hotel anyway. Breakfast was ok.

Sometimes Estonian hotels have special prices and you might get a better hotel with the same price that is also located more near to the old town. However this hotel is a good budget choice.

Good hotel for the price - rooms small but comfortable - breakfast average.

Hotel has Sauna, but this is NOT FREE - it is part attached to a function room, and you have to pre-book the whole facility, cost c. £25 which is OK for a group of you. Better isKalev Spa water park, attached to Kalev Spa hotel, 10 minutes walk, on edge of old town - cost £3, and has sauna and steam rooms as part of the pool complex, and also single sex saunas in changing rooms - this is free with Tallinn card. The card is worth getting if you plan to do the "Tallinn official Sightseeing Tour", which picks up 1 minute walk from hotel - otherwise just get a pass for public transport for the number of days you are there.

No 2 bus takes you from airport to hotel - hotel is at Passenger Terminal and is the last stop. No 2 bus takes you from hotel to Viru KKeskus(shopping centre - attached to Sokus Viru Hotel, which is a very visible landmark and therefore easy to find). No 20 takes you to edge of old town, at the botom of Viru. Coming back, didnt find No 20 stop, but No 2 stop is outside Viru Keskus on A. Laikmaa.

February is very cold, and with evening temperatures -15c at night, almost too cold to go out, and daytime up to only -9c on one day. although got to -2c on last day (phew- what a scorcher!!!!)

Please conact if you want any further info

We stayed here in February 07 for 3 nights and we were very pleased with the hotel. It cost us about £23 per night for a double room which we thought was very reasonable.

The hotel has a retro theme and has pictures of past and present music stars on the walls, and a very 70's style cafe/restuarant. It is is meant this way and it feels kinda funky! A very pleasent atmosphere in the restuarant too, and the food to match - very nice.

The staff were friendly although they never smiled (Maybe because it was so cold when we went, about -10C), but they were helpful when needed and didn't mind calling our taxis for us.

The hotel has free internet access and I believe it also has Wifi too so if you have wireless connections on your laptop or palm top you can connect in the comfort of the lounge area and surf all night.

Rooms were pretty basic but adequate and did have a small tv with satelite. A nice spacious bathroom with a good shower and again, a funky feel to the whole room. We had a large modern picture on the wall of Billy Holiday.

Overall, I would defintely recommend this hotel to anyone as it close to the shipping port, the bus stop and only about a 10 min walk from the old town. A very pleasant stay and I would return there anyday if I were to return to Tallinn. 8.5 out of 10 :-)

I spent two nights at the City Portus over a weekend in mid July. The hotel is conveniently located right by the ferry terminal, perfect for those travelling by boat, or planning a day trip to Helsinki, which was my case. However, being right at the end of the harbour complex, the hotel feels somewhat remote and isolated, even when the Old Town is just a 15 to 20 minute walk.

My room was a generous size, very funky, if rather basic, with a comfortable double bed, and a spacious shower room. No air con though, probably not a problem any other time of the year, but during my stay right in the middle of summer, with a window that only opened a couple of inches, the room felt uncomfortably warm and stuffy at times.

Buffet breakfast was a bit limited, but perfectly adequate, served in the cafe on the ground floor, unfortunately too small to cope with the large groups the hotel accommodates, at least on summer weekends. Still, nice to seat outside in the sun terrace, sipping your tea or coffee away, watching the ferries in and out.
