St. Olav Hotel

It’s situated in Old Town in Tallinn and it’s an old building. Floor makes lot of noises when walking and which disturbed when sleeping. Breakfast was ver poor. Not much to select and coffee machines was out of order at the breakfast buffet. Only one thermos was there with coffee and had to wait in long queue to get a cup of coffee. No free water bottles in the room.

Based on 4 night stay over New Year 2019/20 Good Points : Location, location, location - just a couple of minutes walk from the old town square and not far from the station, covered market and large supermarket. Not so Good : We got off on the wrong foot when, having booked and paid for a triple room, we were allocated a small double. When we returned to check-in to point this out we were told the hotel was full, so they would bring a folding bed for the third adult in our party (to an already small room?). It was only when I started making a fuss that a triple room was identified. Sadly, not the first time I have had this issue with booking triple rooms at hotels. The room itself was "adequate". The two chairs appeared to have seen better days, there was one bedside light between 3 (which didn't work anyway), and the 4:3 format TV must have been a good decade old. No tea/coffee making facilities and the availability of hot water was unpredictable but Wifi provision was fine. On the one day we had our room "made up" we received new towels and one of the three beds was made (?). The breakfast buffet was a little disappointing for those who like a hot breakfast. Hot mini-hot dog sausages, a type of egg flan and a couple of bowls of local dishes, although there were cold alternatives. Overall, there was nothing of huge consequence that was wrong with our stay, but in my opinion if you are expecting a four star hotel you are likely to find St. Olav a little underwhelming.

I stayed in this hotel with my friend and two teenage kids. On the morning of our stay, I wrote to the customer service and requested both rooms to be close to each other and with separate beds. When we arrived, the stuff fulfilled our request completely. We really liked our stay there. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean. The furniture was on older side but comfortable... after all the hotel is in a historic building and we really enjoy that medieval, authentic feel. Also the combination of the hotel’s location (in the old city) and a very reasonable price for it is difficult to bit. Finally, the breakfast (which was included in the price) exceeded our expectations... a nice buffet with a lot of food choices. We’ll definitely stay there again.

Service was good, frienly staff, room was clean and nice, overall rather nice and old looking hotel, and good value for money. Location on exellent

The Hotel is very tired, moved to 3 different rooms, RM125 courtyard, people walking past continuously and smelt damp, RM130 if you like sleeping with the noise of a night club booming until 5am then this the room for you, RM408 where we ended up, through a maze of corridors and up lots of narrow stairs! No lifts in the hotel so if you struggle with your mobility then this is not the hotel for you. When everyone is showering, you end up with no water due to pressure. Breakfast is terrible unless of course you like boiled potatoes and stew!

HOTEL IS SOMEWHAT OUTDATED AND BREAKFAST WAS JUST PASSABLE

The building itself was very nice. The corridors and outer rooms were very ornate. Our room itself was basic to say the least. No wardrobe. Had to change the first room due to unpleasant smell. Second room was cold and the beds were extremely uncomfortable. Also questioned how clean the sheets were as there were stains. Staff not friendly. The barman was never welcoming and just told us the bar was closed whatever time we tried to use it.

I loved the decor and the building. The furniture and paintings. It was a stunning hotel to stay in.

The stay was perfect.. loved the old style of the building...

Our room (231) hadn’t window, it was very stuffy there, and we hadn’t any options to air up our room. Long way to room, at least 1,5 min through the corridor labirints
