Kalev Spa Hotel and Waterpark sits at Kanuti 2, on the edge of the Old Town and about five minutes’ walk from its streets. It opened in 2005 and was fully refurbished in 2019, with 125 rooms including newer Superior rooms and family suites. Stays include access to the water park and gym; the water park has a 50-metre pool, water slides, children’s areas and several saunas, while the adults-only Sauna Oasis costs extra. The restaurant Allee serves European cooking with Estonian influences from local produce. The passenger port is about a ten-minute walk.
Who it suits: families above all, and anyone visiting in the cold months who wants a pool and sauna at the end of the day. Its position between the Old Town and the port makes it handy for ferry arrivals.
Trade-offs: the water park is popular with locals at weekends and in school holidays, so it can be noisy and busy. Rooms are comfortable rather than luxurious. Book family suites early.
