Original Sokos Hotel Viru

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.

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.

Excellent location - right across the entrance to the old town Talinn centre and connected to a shopping mall. Rooms are big enough and very comfortable and affordable. Huge breakfast buffet collection. Service was very good as well. Good fitness center.

We stayed 2 days at the hotel. Great location, close to the historic center. Not recommended for everything else. Room with poor cleaning conditions. Italians have high expectations for cleanliness, but to find a used tea cup with the bottom still encrusted I think is hardly decent for anyone. The sheets on one of the beds were stained with what could have been nail polish at best. There was a constant unpleasant smell in the room, with impossible to open the windows and no air recirculation. Already from our arrival we had the impression that it was going to be a chaotic few days. Several sports teams were present for the international youth games. Imagine the entire hotel (from 22 floors) filled with boys between the ages of 12 and 17. Certainly through no fault of their own, but by the hotel's own fault, there was a confusing, constant cackling atmosphere that made our stay quite unpleasant. Waiting for the elevator for more than 10 minutes each time and then spending another 10 minutes inside going up and down between the various floors of the facility. No one had informed us before booking that our stay would coincide with this sporting event, had we known earlier we would have opted for other hotel. I found it unprofessional to have hundreds of people from all over the world, including kids and coaches, staying at the same time as outside guests. The chaotic atmosphere was inevitable, as was the uncomfortable stay. Even at breakfast time, of course, there was chaoticness, confusion, dirtiness, and everything one would want to avoid in order to enjoy a good vacation.

Located right in front of Viru Gate, the entrance to Tallinn's Old Town, the hotel offers panoramic views of the city from the higher floors. It's a very large hotel, attached to a shopping mall. There were no signs inside the mall, so it was difficult to find my way around on my first visit. The room was clean, and the breakfast was average.

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.

We were 2 adults with our 2 kids. The room size was good with 2 twins and 2 bunk beds. The location is great for sightseeing in Tallin. The staff was all good but we only were there for 2 nights so didn't have any requests. The breakfast was included but very busy and quality not very good. Rooftop bar had amazing views dir cocktails.

The best part of my stay at the Original Sokos Hotel in Tallinn was its central location—very convenient for exploring the city. The breakfast was also quite good, with a decent variety of options and fresh selections each morning. Unfortunately, the positives stop there. The hotel itself felt run down, and the cleanliness left much to be desired. I noticed mold in the bathroom, and there was a strong smell of rotten eggs coming from it, which was very unpleasant. Housekeeping was rare during my stay, and the room was not cleaned regularly. Overall, despite the good location and breakfast, I would not recommend this hotel due to its poor maintenance and cleanliness issues.
