Breakfast
29.12.2025 Luba
The first room offered to us smelled of mould and was tiny although I paid for a standard room. I booked the room quite in advance so they can't say it was the last available one. I asked to change and the second room was above the night club where the loud music played until 5am. There is no coffee, or tea, or water in the room. Very bad experience
31.10.2025 Christophe
The front staff person was pleasant but not overly talkative; that's fine though. The path to the room wound through cool corridors and beautiful rooms. The room isn't was quaint and the nearest part was that the bathroom floor is heated, so no cold feet after a shower. The beds were comfortable the room clean.

Very smart location in the center of the old town. Old design but modern facilities. Comfy beds, simple but good breakfast. The staff is very polite and helpful.
03.10.2025 Michelle
The location is fantastic. The property feels old, which may be by design for its location. The night staff was a little snarky when i arrived just before midnight. But the young woman who was at the front desk during the day was phenomenal. She was super helpful and friendly. The accommodations are good, though i could hear the guest in the room next door snoring! :)

On location, this is a sure win.

value for money, so so
Great Location, in the very center of old town. Slow check in and bad breakfast, Charming hotel
30.07.2025 Jere
Not great
Got no sleep at all, if there is 30degrees outside, its at least 60 inside the room. No AC, and small window which didnt help at all. Hotel kinda labyrinth. Breakfast were mid, everything were finished all the time. Location were really good tho, and maybe it would be bearable to stay during winter season.

Best staff ever! They really take care of their guests :))))
14.04.2025 Megan
Right in old town and very affordable! The building itself is very charming, and the staff are very helpful if you have any issues. The cleanliness is questionable, but taking the age of the hotel and the price it’s forgivable. The breakfast buffet is kind of dismal, I would just stick to the poppyseed rolls and coffee, but maybe it depends on the day.

Charming Historical Hotel in Tallinn.

The St. Olav Hotel offers a charming and historic atmosphere right in the heart of Tallinn. The building is full of character, with its medieval architecture and cozy ambiance. However, be aware that the hotel has many levels and uneven stairs, which might be a bit inconvenient if you have a lot of luggage or difficulty with mobility.

Breakfast is primarily savory, with a limited selection of sweets and fresh fruit. While the options could be more varied, the overall experience is still quite enjoyable.

If you appreciate unique, historical hotels and don’t mind a bit of a climb, this place is a great choice!

Whimsical and full of character. Maze like corridors and steep steps. We stayed in the top floor. Basically on the attic. Room's toilet smelled little bit damp. Hence the 4 star review. Amazing location. Dog friendly, but no additional ameneties for pets e.g. bowls, doggybed etc
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
Think about what you would like to know if you were looking for a review about a place to relax. Please describe in detail what you liked and what you didn't. What would you advise to other guests and to the hotel owner. The more fully you tell about the hotel, the easier it will be for other people to make a choice and they will be very grateful to you!
