Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 14 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Palace Hotel Tallinn suits travellers who want to be in the middle of things without staying inside the medieval walls. The 1930s building faces Freedom Square, with the Old Town a few minutes' walk away and trams and buses outside the door. Guests speak most warmly about the staff, who are described as quick, friendly and thoughtful, from helpful replies before arrival to a surprise birthday cake. Clean, comfortable rooms, a generous breakfast buffet and a small spa with a pool, a sauna and a steam room make it an easy place to return to after a day of sightseeing. The square is also the main drawback. Some guests heard traffic from the road, and parts of the décor, such as an old carpet, show their age. Bathrooms can be short on places to hang towels. For a well-run, central base with a spa at a sensible scale, it works well; light sleepers should ask for a quiet room.
Guests score it 9.1 out of 10 — the average across the 10 hotels we list in Tallinn is 9.3.
What Guests Loved
- The hotel faces Freedom Square, with the Old Town a few minutes' walk away and tram and bus stops right outside, so guests find it easy to reach the sights, restaurants and the rest of the city.
- Guests praise the staff from the first email to check-out: quick, friendly replies before arrival, a warm welcome at the front desk, a free upgrade to the top floor and a surprise cake for a birthday.
Things to Consider
- The hotel stands on a busy square, and some guests heard traffic from the road in their room.
- Some guests found parts of the furnishings dated, such as an old carpet in the bedroom, although others see this as part of the building's old-world charm.
Should you book it?
Palace Hotel Tallinn is worth booking for city-breakers who want a central base next to the Old Town — but pick somewhere else if you are a light sleeper and the room faces the road.
