"A gorgeous, charmimng hotel!"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
We have returned today from two nights at the Schlossle in Tallinn. What a gorgeous hotel! It is small, friendly and very cosy. The log fire in the reception area is very welcoming and the restaurant with it's medieval stone walls and candlelight is stunning. The hotel customer service is impeccable, professional and unassuming. Dinner at the restaurant is to be recommended, even if you are not a resident it is well worth dining there. We also had dinner at the Egoiste restaurant but much preferred the hotel restaurant. We found Egoiste a bit stuffy and overpriced. Our room at the Schlossle was charming, well furnished and spotlessly clean as was the bathroom. Tallinn Old Town itself is absolutely charming as are the people. Beautiful medieval buildings, cobbled streets and courtyards, Go to Tallinn!

The usual 5 star chains I wld normally use are not in Tallinn so I decided - very fortunately- to check out the boutique 5 star hotels present. This one was a great find. If you are going to Tallinn- you really should stay in the old town itself to get the atmosphere of this delightful place. This hotel has a fabulous location- within 5 minutes' walk of the main square and 2 minutes from the first churches, museums, bars and restaurants to explore. The hotel itself is like going back in time- an old merchant's building- the reception and rooms on the ground floor have beams, a fireplace and oodles of character. Downstairs you have an incredibly atmospheric and yet comfortable restaurant. I had breakfast down there and got room service from there- London prices I have to say but the food was excellent- creative, colourful and yummy!!! I would definitely recommend it. Ok- so the bedrooms are a little tired but they are again with a lot of character and comfortable and with Molton Brown goodies thrown in! Last but certainly not least- the staff. The friendliest and most helpful bunch of people I have come across... (and I travel virtually every week...)! Kirill in guest relations is a total star, as are all the delightful reception staff. First class service and great hotel.

Terrible Food!

The hotel is ok, but avoid the restaurant at all costs! I and two friends had read great things about the restaurant but have never been so disappointed with a meal in my life. Our starters were served cold, we all had to send our main courses back because the meat was so poor quality and was raw when we had ordered it medium. The replacement meals were cooked better but the meat was still terrible quality. When we told the waiter about our concerns he simply shrugged. All this, and they are charging Michelin-starred restaurant London prices. It was seriously one of the worst meals I have ever had in my life. I wrote to the hotel immediately about my experience and am still waiting on a response! There are some great restaurants in Tallin…this is not one of them. If you can, stay at the Telegraf instead.

My favourite

Perhaps the Schlössle Hotel should be kept as an excellent secret; it's an oasis among a large number of unpersonal and undfriendly tourist- and businessmachines. I have stayed at the Schlössle Hotel a few times, and have always had a pleasant stay. Perfect service, nice rooms (however, a bit to warm at my last visit) and quiet. Definately the best hotel in town.
