Great hotel close to the old town. We were hesitant at first when choosing a hotel. Still, I wanted a SPA holiday, but after comparing prices, we still chose a tour with this hotel. And we didn't need a spa at all. There just wouldn't be enough time. So glad we didn't overpay. The food there was top notch.

The food there was top notch. There was fish, omelettes, sausages and cheeses. In general, breakfast - 5k.
But what impressed me the most was the rooms. In the Scandinavian style, a sort of Finnish minimalism in Estonian Tallinn.

My husband and I were in this hotel on March 8! I really liked the hotel, they speak Russian at the reception. They offered two rooms to choose from. The hotel itself is small but cozy. The breakfasts are very good and edible. From hot - scrambled eggs, fried potatoes with sausage, sausages. Also boiled eggs, sausage, cheese, vegetables, red fish (! ).

Several types of fruit, jam, all sorts of muesli.
Location: everything is close, the old city is visible from the window.

The hotel itself is excellent, comfortable, if not for one "but", firstly, the room did not show us that everything was in order there upon arrival, and we somehow did not pay attention, and when we checked out the room was not taken from us. And 4 days after the trip to Tallinn, the guide calls me and says that we broke the lamps (that is, the lampshades on the lamps cracked) and said to pay 140 euros, otherwise we will be blacklisted and we will no longer enter the territory of Finland !!! ! We did not break these lamps, but in order not to lose the Schengen, we paid, but demanded these lamps and receipts in return.

In general, if you happen to once again to visit this wonderful country, I will only stay in this hotel! PS-As for the local population, I can say that during the week of my stay in Tallinn, not a single person refused to help! Estonians behave very correctly and politely! They spoke to me in Russian without problems. When I got lost, the POLICE OFFICERS took me to the hotel in their car !! ! =))) And the fact that they don’t like Russians, so look how we behave on foreign territory! . . =(((

Were there from 03.01. 11-07.01. 11. The hotel is beautiful, you can put a solid four. The room is small but well equipped. Excellent bathroom, clean everywhere, amazing attitude of the staff, excellent breakfast. Located next to the old town. To extend the room for a day, we got only 20 euros. I never thought that a trio could be at such a high level.

Good day! It’s already somehow uncomfortable for me to write about the Hermitage again, but what can you do? I am in Tallinn for the third time, and again in this hotel : ) I can state that the quality of service in the hotel has not deteriorated over the year : ) This time we got a room with a double bed, so I will update the photo gallery : ) From the previously unfinished: in the rooms The "Hermitage" has access to the Internet, at the reception we were given a "lace" to connect to the Network, but we did not need it, because WI-Fi was "discovered" in our room.

We stayed at the "Hermitage" for 5 nights (from 1st to 6th January 2010). The service is excellent, the bed is changed every 3 days, a variety of hearty breakfasts, the floor in the bathroom is heated, the maids STOP TAKING TIPS! The only thing that bothered me a little this time was problems with the key card, every day after dinner I had to run to the reception and recode the card, because the doors to the room did not open : ( But everything else is fine. The hotel has a small free garage for guests and guarded free parking - which was very convenient for us, who arrived in our car. Currency was changed at the hotel reception, for some reason in the "Hermitage" there was the most favorable rate among all the nearby exchangers.
Tallinn this time met us with a real New Year's snowfall. It is said that this winter, Estonia experienced a record amount of rainfall in the past 20 years. Road services worked around the clock, every morning we observed cleared road asphalt under our windows, which is fantastic for our Ukrainian roads at this time of the year, and even under such weather conditions.
In the Old Town, large icicles hung on the houses... No, not even icicles, but threatening-looking ICicles, it was scary to walk under them along the narrow streets of Van Tallinn. It is strange that scrupulous Estonians took this problem so lightly, apparently all the forces of the mayor's office were thrown into the fight against snowfall, which did not stop all 5 days of our stay in Estonia.
We had a good, comfortable and informative time: we walked to Kadriorg and Pirita, went by car to Tartu (the second largest city in Estonia, its university capital), "ride" on the ferry to Helsinki (round-trip ticket for three - 102 euros : )
Tallinn is a wonderful city! Come and see for yourself! : )
I wish you all pleasant travels and bright impressions! : )

Having visited Tallinn for the first time last autumn, I decided that I would definitely come back here again, but I did not think that my second trip would take place only 2 months after the first - for the Christmas holidays. Let's start with the hotel. Again, the Hermitage. I will add a few new touches to my previous review: 1) Smokers! Rejoice! The hotel does have smoking rooms! : ) If you want to smoke in the room - inform the employee at the reception, and he will settle you in the appropriate room.

Having visited Tallinn for the first time last autumn, I decided that I would definitely come back here again, but I did not think that my second trip would take place only 2 months after the first - for the Christmas holidays.
Let's start with the hotel.
Again, the Hermitage. I will add a few new touches to my previous review:
1) Smokers! Rejoice! The hotel does have smoking rooms! : ) If you want to smoke in the room - inform the employee at the reception, and he will settle you in the appropriate room. As a person who lived in the Hermitage in smoking and non-smoking rooms, I can say with confidence that the smoking room is cleaned worse and less often. Often the cleaning of our room was reduced solely to the removal of garbage. In the bathroom, under the towel rack, I found traces of previous guests, the carpet, burned in numerous places, is vacuumed, probably no more than once a month ...
All this did not fit in with the almost "sterile" cleanliness of the non-smoking room in which I had a chance to stay last time. I got the impression that in order to take out the garbage, the maid, running into our room, held her breath, quickly scooped out the contents of the garbage can (without changing the garbage bag) and also quickly flew out of the room (not forgetting to grab a tip); ) the husband shook out the ashtray himself: ) (Apparently the tender Estonian body cannot stand a long stay in a smoky room). : R
There is no balcony in the room, all the smoke goes into the room. The window overlooked the courtyard, overlooking the parking lot and the roof of the kitchen. In general - not a fountain. So, I came to the conclusion for myself - in the "Hermitage" I will settle exclusively in "non-smoking" rooms, and whoever smokes, let him run down to the street : P
2) Change of towels.
There is a "European lotion" hanging on the wall - an announcement like: "We will not change towels, because we wash it, and it's a pity for nature. So if you have no conscience - throw a towel on the floor, so be it - we will change it. " On the first day I didn’t take a risk, but on the second day I gave it up for the sake of interest - they changed it : )
3) Breakfast. Breakfast at the Hermitage is the best of all our travels! Super! There is everything, even the national dish - blood sausages! Red fish, roast potatoes, some other side dishes, sauces, cheese, cottage cheese, pickles - I don’t remember everything, I only remember that it was quite satisfying and tasty. The husband "got hooked" on homemade marmalade - there were 4 types of marmalade, no less. One minus of breakfasts is a small dining room, often there are not enough places, there is a flea market at the distributing table.
This is due to the fact that most of the guests, leaving the elevator, immediately turn right into the hall (because they go to the smell : )), and in the Hermitage there is another hall, from the elevator to the left, behind the lobby bar, but there is not much to it people get it, even though there is a pointer : )
Everything about the hotel, now about the trip.
Language issue: In Tallinn they speak Russian...but not all of them. In the tourist Old Town, in any souvenir shop and cafe, a Russian-speaking tourist will not experience discomfort, especially during the "Russian season" of Orthodox Christmas : ). Outside of the main tourist attractions, things are a bit more complicated with the Russian language. Young people under 30 practically do not speak Russian (and people of this age most often work as waiters and sellers), so knowledge of English saves as always : ).
If you find yourself in a place in Tallinn where, in your opinion, no one speaks Russian and your English is not very good, and you definitely need competent advice, feel free to contact the Tallinn grandmothers. ESTONIAN OLD WOMEN ARE RUSSIAN-SPEAKING TOURIST'S BEST FRIENDS! : )). These cute creatures live in "R-kiosk" houses (you can also buy a ticket for public transport there), city museums and tourist information centers. Always neat and friendly, elderly women will be happy to answer all your questions, tell you how to get to the place you are interested in and even conduct an "educational program" in the Estonian language : ). Tanan vaga, dear old women! : ) In general, I did not notice any particularly hostile attitude towards the "Russians".
About Tallinn.
Tallinn is beautiful in any weather and at any time of the year, even at the beginning of a snowless frosty January under a piercing icy Baltic wind - this is exactly the weather we found in Tallinn on January 2.2009, flying away from, oddly enough, snowy Kyiv : )
It is pleasant, at the beginning of a new year, to walk along the cobbled streets of Old Tallinn, inhaling the aromas of cinnamon and roasted almonds coming from the hot mulled wine poured on the Town Hall Square. In the same place, on "Raekoya Place", you can literally plunge into a Christmas fairy tale, because the sight of a real 90-year-old fir tree, standing in the middle of the square and surrounded by wooden houses of the traditional New Year's Fair of folk crafts, against the backdrop of multi-colored peaked houses, resurrects long-forgotten Pictures from my favorite children's book...
Excursion.
Our "must see" list included Kadriorg Park and Brigid's Monastery.
We informed the guide who met us at the airport about this. The guide offered to join the bus tour, which was supposed to take place the next morning, the cost of the tour was 11 euros per nose. Arriving a little earlier than the appointed time, to the meeting point at the Baltic Station and standing in the cold for more than an hour, we did not wait for either the bus, or the guide, or the "group" that the guide was supposed to meet. By the way, the Baltic Station is not the most pleasant place in Tallinn...
We got to Kadriorg from Viru Square by tram. I don't remember the number of the tram (No. 3? ), but "Kadriorg" is written on it - you won't confuse it : ). A tram ticket, at the R-kiosk, costs 13 crowns (a little over 1 euro); they say that you can buy a ticket from the tram driver, but it will be more expensive. Kadriorg is a beautiful place. Even in winter. Even without snow. I can imagine how good it must be there in spring and autumn!
From the park we went to the famous monument "Mermaid", and from the monument - naturally to the sea ...The frozen sea and wild swans on the shore are an unearthly sight! Further, it was decided to go to Pirita (to the monastery of Brigid) on foot. It was a brilliant mistake. "Mistake", because it was necessary to go along the cold, winter Baltic Sea! Despite the fact that we were quite well equipped, under the Baltic wind we froze like hell, having covered a little less than half the way. And "brilliant", because when we were looking for a place to hide from the wind and warm ourselves, we found a pretty "house", which turned out to be the Museum of Estonian History, and the building itself - "Majestic Maarjamä gi Castle" (according to the guide). The museum has several exhibits. I'm sorry we didn't have time to see them all.
Driven by curiosity, I dragged my husband to the exposition dedicated to the struggle for independence of the small but proud Estonian people. By the way, this is the only exposition of the museum, the exhibits of which were signed in Russian. This is a normal, "nationalist" exhibition, which, in essence, differs little from similar exhibitions in other countries of the former socialist camp. But if we put aside politics, then here one could see something interesting: old children's toys, a chronicle of the resort of Pä rnu in the 20s of the last century, photographs of Tallinn during the war years, souvenirs for the "Olympic Games - 80" and photographs of Soviet Estonians who arrived look at the sausage in Helsinki : ) Having finally visited the local buffet and tasted fresh muffins with hot coffee, we left the hospitable museum and went on. In 20-30 minutes we ran to Brigitte. I must say that the place is also very beautiful.
I liked the pine trees that reach the sandy beach, I liked the frozen Pirita River, the yacht club, the fishermen on the mirror surface of the river ice and, of course, the monastery itself ...More precisely, what was left of it. Brigid's monastery was destroyed during the Livonian War, later, they say, it was hit by an air bomb ("Soviet" of course; )) ...But even now the size of the building is impressive. We returned to the center by bus. We must pay tribute to the public transport of Tallinn - it runs on schedule, clean and not crowded.
Our "excursion" cost us 142 kroons for two (transport - 52 eyek, museum of history - 90 eyek), which is approximately 10 euros, instead of the originally planned 22 euros for a bus tour. It is definitely worth visiting Pirita, but is it worth taking a specialized tour for this? -- You decide : ).
