They settled us instantly, they didn’t even ask for a passport : ), only paper from the booking. They don’t speak Russian at the reception, only a Russian-speaking employee came across at the checkout. You need to fill out a card and understand where the number is, but here without half a liter, i. e. can't figure it out without a map : ).
Briefly describe the scheme of movements.
No matter what floor your room is on, you need to take the elevator (opposite the entrance) or the stairs (slightly to the right) to the second floor. Next you choose your A or B wing, we had the B with sea view. Turn into this wing. If you have a room on the second floor, then follow the arrows, and if the first or third, then look for a circular staircase, and then follow the signs. We got lost on the first day. We were lucky that the number was 316, it's not far from the stairs, and the corridors are there - you can easily run a hundred meters.
The room is small. There is a TV, but no refrigerator or air conditioner. The door to the balcony opens only for plowing, it cannot be put on airing, the window does not open. The balcony is big enough. Two chairs, no table. No smoking. When we stopped on the balcony there was a husk from seeds, it remained until departure. The floor on the balcony is concrete, you can't do without slippers. The shower and toilet have a common floor, but the water does not flow. Until I forgot about smoking. You can smoke on the second floor behind the pool and on the fourth floor near the elevators. It's easier to go outside.
Linen was not changed (we were 2 nights), new towels were put. The bed is comfortable enough, but the mattress is slipping. Asked for extra pillows. Bathrobes can be taken for 3 euros.
The view from the balcony is beautiful! The sun is setting right in front of you! And the ferries go back and forth all the time.
The pool is good and big. 25 meters, 6 lanes. The couple is usually busy with athletes. There are three baths - sauna, Turkish and aroma, I think. The husband, for whom we went and the pool was the main argument, was very pleased!
Behind the pool there is a patio with tables and sun loungers, you can sunbathe and watch the swimmers, which I did : )
Nearby, behind the yacht club, there is a beach. The sea is shallow, I thought that only in Jurmala it was like that, but here the depth is even further, the husband, it seems, did not reach, he swam on the level of the belt. There is one restaurant on the beach. The food is very good and the prices are reasonable.
Restaurant.
The restaurant is located on the fifth floor, which can only be reached by lift. On the first morning we were "lucky" - the alarm went off and the elevators were turned off. I really wanted coffee....the bar in the lobby is open from 9, you need to register in the casino....
We waited, arrived....The breakfast is good, plentiful. Omelet, eggs, pancakes, muesli, cheese / meat cuts, pate, cottage cheese, different breads. Juices, coffee (you can take it with you, there are disposable glasses), tea, milk. You won't leave hungry, everything is delicious!
In the evening we went for an ala-carte dinner. It was delicious! And serving, and dishes, and a compliment from the chef! If it works, I'll show you a photo. Delicious! A little hot, but before that we went to a nearby restaurant with an outdoor terrace, ordered..... waited....and they forgot about us....
You can dine in the lobby, a small menu, Russian-speaking staff. We didn't eat, we just drank : )
I forgot to tell you about the lawn mower - he starts work at 8 and rushes around on his typewriter with a loud roar, so don't oversleep breakfast.
We were lucky with the construction site, everything was quiet. On the second night, they brought equipment for laying asphalt, but we did not find the process itself. They've probably already done everything.
There is a supermarket next to the hotel (across the road). Bus stop. 12 minutes to the center, routes 1a, 8.24a (ticket 2 euros from the driver) There are almost always taxis near the hotel (about 8 euros), you can call Taxify, it will be cheaper.
A pleasant surprise was a compliment from the hotel - champagne and a plate of fruit for my husband on the other day (I wrote in advance).
Well, what can I say? Good hotel. Good pool. Jogging up the stairs and corridors only strengthens, it was not in vain that it was built for the Olympics. The restaurant is very good, but I do not advise you to take a buffet for dinner - there is practically no choice.
The view from Marina is amazing!
Pirita TOP SPA Hotell is the only hotel in the cruise tour "Baltic Express 4 Capitals of the North", DELTA TRAVEL. After a long, exhausting road, a walking sightseeing tour of old Tallinn and free time in the same Tallinn, we went by bus to the hotel, where the bus was waiting for us (the road cost us 20 UAH, the tickets were bought by the accompanying group IRINA). Buses in Estonia run strictly according to the schedule and it does not matter if the bus is carrying one person or a complete set. Order and clarity ...Estonia struck to the core.
Hotel:
The hotel is located right on the coast, a 10-minute drive from the center of Tallinn. Owned by Tallink Hotel's chain. The Pirita TOP SPA Hotell has three hotel floors with 267 rooms. Due to the unique architecture of the hotel, the hotel rooms can only be accessed through the second floor. The first time I lived in a troika. And to my surprise, I really liked the hotel.
In general, I would like to note: the tour was full of small bonuses. FIRST BONUS. In the morning, after a 27-hour journey, we were first brought to the terminal, from where the liner departed. Believe me, all the fatigue just takes off the view from the window when cars and buses drive into these huge vessels. People just drank coffee and enjoyed the spectacle. I didn’t even drink coffee, I was so struck by the sight of the liner itself). The SECOND BONUS, of course, I consider the hotel. Having received electronic keys at the reception, we hurried to the room.
ROOM
The room was huge, for three people with a separate room allocated for a wardrobe, with a good bathroom (clean, without mold, without traces that someone covered up this mold). Crisp white linens and a complimentary candy on the pillow. I was very pleasantly surprised. I had to use my own bathroom accessories, although this fact is not critical for me.
Towels pleased - white, without a hint of previous use.
SAUNA and POOL
Guests of the hotel can use the sauna and swimming pool free of charge, which after a long journey has become a must. We swam a lot and took a steam bath in the sauna.
ADDITIONALLY:
The hotel has a restaurant with a wide selection of Estonian and international cuisine, a cozy bar. 5 conference halls of various capacities - from 12 to 200 people, sauna, Turkish bath, swimming pool, solarium, gym, equipped parking, tennis court. Beauty salon and casino. To all this, you can add a shop on site with normal prices for alcohol and food.
WIFI
THERE IS. FOR FREE! IN THE LOBI.
LUNCH BOXES
Early in the morning, we were given lunch boxes, and we got into our bus and went to board the liner. LUNCH: huge sika with ham and herbs, juice, yogurt, apple and chocolate bar)
CONCLUSION: good hotel, helpful staff (we did not have enough towels in the room, after 5 minutes of contacting the receptionist, we had it in the room). Nice, not shabby room, clean and pleasant, good wi-fi, decent lunch package, huge swimming pool and great sauna. The HOTEL left only positive impressions. The only caveat is the lack of toiletries, but for me it is not critical.
Not far from the hotel is the Singing Field. At the end of August, the Estonian Independence Day is celebrated - there are festivities. a lot of youth. festivals, kebabs (with an emphasis on the second I), etc. Interesting. It is worth going to the hotel and to Tallinn.
The hotel is a real paradise for the exhausted Homo Sapiens of the metropolis - countless body services plus a view of the sea promenade with the panorama of the Old City on the horizon. Pine trees rustled across the road. The staff were emotionally restrained, but extremely polite and extremely helpful. They will always answer in English, but in Russian only those who are over 40. Twenty-year-old Estonians, moonlighting in restaurants and cafes, are children of a different historical era.
I liked everything! And the fabulous Old Town, and the leisurely life of the capital of Estonia, and the sound of the waves on the Pirita embankment, and the unusual food I fell in love with Tallinn for the weekend that I spent in it, I remember it all the time with tenderness, and I do not stop mentally striving to go there in the hustle and bustle Moscow weekdays.
