Great stay at Original Sokos Hotel Viru. The staff were friendly, everything was clean, and the restaurants and café were very good. Best of all, it’s right next to Tallinn’s Old Town—perfect location and very walkable. Highly recommend!

Stayed in Tallinn for 2 nights. The location was great. It was directly connected to the shopping mall and within walking distance of the old town. The rooms are old but well maintained. The beds are not too old, but the view from the rooms is good. The breakfast is delicious and has a wide variety of items. This is a recommended hotel in Tallinn.

Central location which is easy to reach the old town. Even though the hotel was renovated, there is a sad feeling that this building is very old with wall scratches, mold in the bathroom, and patches all over the place.

The Hotel is good, however, there is no electric kettle and coffee or tea in the room available. for me it was quite strange as nowadays almost all of the hotels provided the electric kettle with coffee & tea at rooms.

Love the location..have stayed there several times over the years, BUT...it's time to update the rooms, furniture and fixtures included. They have not hardly changed since my first visit in. 1974 !!!

The Front Desk Manager, Mr. Karmo Haavik, was fantastic! He was professional yet relatable, and sincerely interested in who we are as travelers and hotel guests (without being intrusive). We really enjoyed talking to him and he gave us great tips about the nearby places and events to enjoy. He really was wonderful! Thank you so much for such a lovely, memorable stay. Room #1609 has an amazing 180-degree view of Old Town, the newer parts and the Baltic Sea. Incredible! 👍😀🌞 Susie & Mitchel from Hawaii.

Only complaint would be techno music all night from somewhere outside. Other than that the facility was very nice and conveniently located by old town main gate.

Everything is very worn out, outdated, something doesn't work and it's very uncomfortable. Not worth the money.

Room were semi clean and would need a bit updating. Bed were super soft, read too soft. Our Windows were Open when we went to the room and we were not able to close it because handle was gone. Reseption workers were nice and hotel in total were worth of money. Hotel also remembered bithdayperson with nice gift.

Breakfest was really bad, as in all the Sokos hotels. The bacon/dryed meet is joke. I paid 15€ for it and it wasn’t worth it. In hotels the breakfest is 35% of the whole experience. For me at least. And also would be nice if there is local food or something what the place is knows for. Karelian pie in Tallinn???
