Kreutzwald Hotel stands at Endla 23 in the city centre, on the Toompea side of town rather than inside the medieval walls, which is exactly why it appeals. You are a short walk from the cathedral on Toompea and from the creative quarter of Telliskivi, yet rates are usually kinder than in the Old Town. It is a compact hotel of 67 rooms, so the feel is personal rather than corporate, and it carries a Green Key sustainability certification. The standout extra is the on-site spa, with massage, body scrubs and body treatments, a hot tub and a morning sauna included in the top rooms. For a winter break in Tallinn, a hotel with its own spa is a real asset, and this one delivers it at a mid-range level.
Rooms and what to expect
The choice is wide for a hotel of this size. There are Standard and Economy rooms for travellers who only need a clean place to sleep, Superior rooms and Superior doubles or twins with more space, and Family Rooms for parents with children. At the top are the Zen Room with a spa bath and the Zen Deluxe, which adds a morning sauna.
All rooms have free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a flat-screen television, an electric kettle, a hair dryer and free toiletries, with a desk for anyone who needs to work, a safe at the front desk and daily housekeeping.
\n\nFood and facilities: La Cucina restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and has a children menu, and there is also a coffee shop and cafe and a terrace for the warmer months. A library gives you somewhere quiet to read, and the spa and hot tub are the place to warm up after a day on the cobbles.
A buffet breakfast is available for an extra charge, so compare it with the cafes in Telliskivi before you decide. Practical extras include laundry and dry cleaning, bike and car rental on site, an electric car charging station, a limo or town car service, and an airport shuttle on request for a fee.
Self parking is available but charged per night. \n\nLocation and getting around: the walk to the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral takes about thirteen minutes, and Telliskivi Creative City is a similar distance, which makes this a good base for travellers who prefer cafes, street art and independent shops to souvenir stalls. The Town Hall Square is roughly a seventeen-minute walk, and the Baltic Station, with its market and trams, is about nineteen minutes on foot.
The airport is around sixteen minutes away by car. After dark you can walk back through quiet streets, but in icy weather a short tram or taxi ride is the sensible choice.
\n\nWho it suits and what to know: Kreutzwald suits couples who want a spa evening, travellers who like a creative neighbourhood, and families who need a larger room. It is less suitable for anyone who wants to step straight out onto medieval lanes, because the Old Town is a proper walk away.
Check when you book which room category includes the spa bath or sauna, what the breakfast, parking and pet charges are for your dates, and whether your rate can be cancelled. Rates rise around the Christmas market and in midsummer, so book early for those weeks.
