Original Sokos Hotel Viru

Nice hotel located in the very center of Tallin. The views are incredible every possible way. Very convenient internal passage to the shopping center with food corner (eat & drink options). No problems with elevators - there are multiple and are very fast. The rooms are nice, clean, well equipped. However the windows cannot be open so it is difficult to refresh air inside. The breakfast room is spacious, but the variety and quality of food is not really 4* as expected from this place. Also missed coffee options - no espresso, no cappuccino/latte.

Original Sokos Hotel Viru is located in the heart of Tallinn, close to the gates of the Old Town. Hotel has internal access to Viru Keskus, shopping centre, which has a food court and some of the trendiest shops in the city. Tallinn ferry is a short walk and Old Town starts just across the road. Viru Keskuse Bus Terminal is only about 500 mts from the hotel.||Hotel lobby is large with a seating area to accommodate many guests. There is also a bar in the lobby area. Check-in was smooth with very cheerful and helpful staff.|The rooms are spacious with large windows offering panoramic views of the Baltic Sea and old town. Beds were large but, I didn’t find the mattress comfortable. Room was provided with a mini fridge, TV and an electric kettle was given on request. Bathroom was good even though the shower area was bit small. Essential toiletries are provided.||Though the breakfast area is huge it’s always crowded as it’s a big hotel with so many guests. However, the staff are very efficient in clearing the tables and also filling up the counters. Breakfast spread consisted of variety of breads, fruits, eggs, bacon, ham, sausages, tea, coffee, milk, juices. Staff also served omelet, pan cake, coffee etc. on the table.||The rooftop bar which offers fantastic views is functional only during summer|The hotel building has much historical significance as it was built during the Soviet era and the 23rd floor of the hotel contained a KGB center, used to spy on hotel guests. The KGB left the hotel just before Estonia became independent and thereafter the 23rd floor is a museum. Admission is with tickets.||Staff were very helpful and I should not forget Mr. Kamro, who was exceptionally nice and helpful. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and I would always recommend this place for its great location and the good service provided.

Stayed 2 days for business. Old outdated rooms, rube staff, noisy AC. The rooms are relatively clean. Central location, which is good and near Old Town and Viru shopping center (connected buildings). Bad value for money. Toilet in the lobby costs 2 euros if you're not staying in the hotel, which is a joke. Better stay across the road (Nordic Hotel Forum) for a much better service.

Hotel in best location possible. Great shopping mall downstairs. Restaurants, bars, everything close by. Breakfast is good, gym is great, rooms needs little upgrade, but heard that renovation is ongoing.

The hotel located about 6-7mins walk to the old town, connecting to the shopping mall. In bad weather, you don’t need to go out for meal, there’s food court and shopping mall connected to the hotel. The room is simply and clean, we were missing hair dryer in the room, however got it after pushing reception staff. It’s a big hotel with more 400rooms. The breakfast is also simple.

First time in Tallin and wasn't sure about where to stay but this hits the spot, as it's near by the old town and the modern city. I had read the reviews about the views from the hotel and decided to request top floor room which was given to me and I'm very happy to say thank you for that service. We loved our stay at the Original Sokos Hotel Viru, staff was friendly. Only thing I would say that the bathroom needed updating, but overall amazing stay . Would definitely return to this hotel and recommend to friends and family.

Good but they need to fix barthroom and water systems. Shower mixer does not work properly and spend lots of water because half is going to down... rooms need to be more warm. Aircontion shoes 20.5 degrees but its like 18-19 °.

Hotel has a good location near the Old Town, the Opera House, the Rotermanni- area. Viru- shopping centre in the same building. The rooms had very soft beds and in a bathroom there was a nasty smell. Good selection of gluten free food at the breakfast.
