1. Where exactly is Taanilinna Hotel located in Tallinn?

You’ll find us in the absolute heart of the city — Uus 6, 10111, Tallinn — nestled within the historic Lower Town, right near the unique city defense wall. We’re proud to be just a short 5-minute walk from the Viru Gate and the Town Hall Square, putting you within easy reach of the best shops, restaurants, galleries, and ancient churches. And if you’re coming by ferry, the Port of Tallinn is just a 16-minute walk from our doorstep.

2. What’s so special about the history and character of your hotel?

We’re more than just a place to sleep — we’re a living piece of Tallinn’s story. Our building dates back to the 19th century and was originally built for wealthy local residents. Fully renovated with all modern comforts, we reopened our doors in 2002 and chose to preserve the building’s unique medieval charm. As a result, you can enjoy exposed stone walls, wood-beamed ceilings, and antique furniture, all while breathing the air of the Old Town.

3. How many rooms does the hotel have, and what types are available?

We keep things personal and cozy. The hotel features only 20 rooms, accommodating up to 37 guests. Our range includes Single Rooms, Double/Twin Rooms, Superior and Deluxe Rooms. This small scale allows us to offer you a truly comfortable and authentic Tallinn experience away from the bustle of impersonal chain hotels.

4. Does the hotel have a 24-hour reception?

It’s important to know our rhythm so we can best welcome you. Our reception is staffed during limited hours — specifically from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM every day. We kindly ask you to inform us of your expected arrival time in advance, especially if you’ll be arriving outside those hours, so we can make sure someone is there to greet you personally. This personal touch is part of our commitment to attentive service.

5. What are your check-in and check-out times?

You can check in and start exploring Tallinn from 2:00 PM onwards, and check-out is a relaxed 12:00 PM (noon). If you have special timing needs, just let us know in advance and we’ll do our best to accommodate you. We also offer express check-in and check-out for extra convenience.

6. Is there an elevator in the hotel?

Due to the historic nature of our 19th-century building, we do not have an elevator on the premises. However, our three floors are well-maintained and accessible via a classic staircase. The team at the front desk is always happy to help with your luggage, so please don’t hesitate to ask for assistance if needed.

7. What kind of breakfast do you serve, and is it included in the price?

We invite you to start your morning off right! Our buffet breakfast is served daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in our cozy breakfast room and features a variety of fresh Continental options, perfect for fueling a day of sightseeing in the Old Town. Breakfast is available for a fee, €12 per person.

8. Do you have parking, and what does it cost?

We know that traveling by car in a historic city center can sometimes be tricky, which is why we offer private on-site parking for our guests. Due to limited space, we highly recommend reserving your spot in advance. The parking fee is €15 per day.

9. Is Taanilinna Hotel pet-friendly?

Unfortunately, we do not allow pets at Taanilinna Hotel, with the only exception being licensed service animals. This policy applies to all room types and helps us maintain our strict standards of cleanliness and comfort for all guests. We appreciate your understanding on this matter.

10. Do you have rooms and amenities for families traveling with children?

Absolutely! We welcome families with open arms. We have family rooms specifically designed to comfortably accommodate 4 guests, and our Deluxe Family Twin Room even features a king bed and a cozy sofa bed. Children also receive a discounted breakfast rate, and we can provide a crib for a nominal fee of €10 per stay. For added convenience, we offer a shared common kitchen on the second floor, which families often find very useful during their stay.

11. Does Taanilinna Hotel have air conditioning in the rooms?

This is a great question, especially for summer travelers. Because our building is a historic 19th-century structure with thick stone walls and a protected heritage status, we do not have air conditioning in the rooms. However, the stone walls naturally keep the rooms cool even on warm days, and we provide fans in every room upon request. We also recommend keeping the curtains drawn during the hottest part of the day — it makes a noticeable difference!

12. How can I get to the hotel from Tallinn Airport (TLL)?

You have several great options when arriving. We offer a convenient airport shuttle service for our guests — you can request pick-up or drop-off directly with us. Alternatively, the bus is an excellent choice for independent travelers: take the bus from the airport, which takes roughly 17 minutes and costs as little as €2, making it the most economical route into the Old Town. Of course, taxis are also readily available if you prefer a direct, door-to-door trip.
