St. Olav Hotel enjoys a fantastic location in the heart of Tallinn's Old Town, making it easy to walk to all the main attractions, with convenient access to the train station, bars and restaurants. Guests often appreciate the hotel's unique, historic interior, describing it as a cool, quirky space, like a medieval castle with period paintings; some have even found the journey to their rooms an experience, enjoying the art and architecture. The breakfast buffet is considered excellent and good value, especially since it's often included in the room rate, with options that have impressed even young children; though some guests have noted occasional noise due to the proximity to bars.

short walkloud musicno ventilation
the location was excellent. it was just a short walk from the train station.
Our room looked nothing like the pictures. there was no ventilation, so it got really warm at night. opening the window wasn't an option. There was a bar attached to the hotel. it played loud music until early morning, how fun.
