Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 14 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Swissotel Tallinn suits travellers who want comfort and a view. It is located in the city's tallest building, so most rooms look out over the Old Town, the harbour or the Gulf of Finland, and guests keep returning to that panorama in their reviews. Rooms are spacious with large bathrooms and good beds, breakfast is praised for its freshness and variety, and the team is described as friendly and professional. A spa with a decent pool and saunas, plus the Horisont bar on the top floor, round out the stay. The trade-off is character. Several guests describe it as a polished business hotel without much atmosphere, and the surrounding streets offer little, with the Old Town a walk of up to a quarter of an hour. The saunas can be busy, and parking is expensive. For a comfortable, efficient base with sweeping views, it works well; for medieval charm, stay inside the walls.
Guests score it 8.9 out of 10 — the average across the 10 hotels we list in Tallinn is 9.3.
What Guests Loved
- The hotel is in Tallinn's tallest building, and the views are what guests mention most: across the Old Town's rooftops, towards the harbour or out over the Gulf of Finland, especially from the upper floors.
- Guests describe the rooms as clean, spacious and comfortable, with very good beds, a choice of pillows and big bathrooms with a walk-in shower and a deep bath.
Things to Consider
- Several guests found the hotel efficient and clean but short on atmosphere, with the feel of a business hotel rather than a place with local character.
- Guests found the spa itself on the small side, with saunas that fill up quickly at busy times. One guest was surprised to learn that spa access was not included in their room rate, so check what your booking covers.
Should you book it?
Swissotel Tallinn is worth booking for travellers who want big views and spacious rooms — but pick somewhere else if you want a hotel with historic character.
