Original Sokos Hotel Viru

Wonderful hotel! Great, accommodating stuff, well-tidied rooms, amazing location in central Tallinn with convenient connections and links to pretty much anything you need. VERY reasonably priced too. Great gym in the hotel too! Amazing view from the rooms that look over the front of the hotel. Can't recommend enough!

We stayed 4 nights here..it was an associate hotel for the Ironman triathalon hence booked here as my husband was participating. Very central, I could walk to most places or take a short Bolt taxi ride. It is attached to a mall which has a good foodcourt and a supermarket in the basement. Room has all amenities, though safety locker wasn't working. Breakfast was satisfactory with a large spread. A little old style in terms of design but everything worked and staff were helpful. Would recomend it for its location - short walk to the Tallink ferry departure terminal and to the beautiful old town .Airport was about 15 mins away, plenty of taxis available. Download the Bolt app.

Bleargh - what a terrible breakfast! Members of our conference stayed here (apparently rooms okay) and I joined twice for breakfast as a walk-in. What a desaster! Worst hotel breakfast in decades - not even one star.||The giant 70s style hall with Soviet flavor is quaint. But the armies of Finnish tourists, in a demographic when you had them before the EU accession to get cheap beer and fun, was startling (the place is now owned by a Finnish chain). Once one went by the hostile and bitter guard at the door who charged 17 - SEVENTEEN - euros for nothing. ||Then you find a dirty table (never mopped), get your factory-diner cutlery, and elbow in for food, which sucks. Reassembled chemical egg, watery fried potatoes, tasteless tomatoes, homogeneous cold cuts. Boiled eggs and super sweet cakes were edible, nothing else. I did not succeed getting coffee, and juice from the dispenser likewise oversugared as if sponsored by evil diabetologists. ||The hotel may have its purposes. The breakfast is so terrible, it subtracts the time spent there double from your life. Do not go there.

The location of this hotel is great, no complaints there. The staff were also really nice. But I didn’t like the smell of my room every time I walked in. I was on the 10th floor, and the room always smelled like a sewer drain. I had to spray my own perfume just so it wouldn’t bother me.

Apart from location and nice employees, the hotel itself is rather disappointing. There are no coffee or tea or even the kettle in the room unless you pay 20euros extra for a superior room. Internet is very poor on the upper floors, rooms are not very clean. Hotel is nothing special. For the price or a slight extra you can stay elsewhere better. Beds are very comfortable though.

a very good stay in the heart of Tallinn. While the hotel is quite basic, it is well-managed. We were accommodated in a business class room on the topmost floor. The amenities were satisfactory. However, the breakfast room was crowded and noisy.

In general most of the things in this hotel worked out very well. Especially the close proximity to the Old Town made it the perfect place to stay for us.||And nice with the rooftop bar.||Only disappointment was the breakfast. It was just OK but rather boring. Both the food and the setting.

This is a great hotel that I have stayed at twice already. The rooms are nice, the breakfast is good, the location is perfect, and the staff are friendly and helpful. What was the highlight for me was the stunning view from the 21st floor. I spent hours admiring the sunset and the boats passing by, and was also able to see the old town. I hope to return here on my next business trip to Tallinn as well.
