The staff are rude and not helpful. The breakfast was not good. The room was very uninteresting, narrow stairs and no lift. Please do yourself a favor, don´t stay there. More

St. Olov is a magnicifent charming hotel and it has a good situation in Tallin centre, just one hundred meter from the main square. The very best restaurant very near the hotel is the famous garlic restaurant Balthasar (about one hundred meters from the hotel). We usually are very well treated in Estoania and Tallin, and so it was also... More

The hotel has rude service at the reception, below average breakfast and rooms have no sound insulation whatsoever. Could hear people even snoring and every word that was said in next room.Minibar is poorly stocked. If going to Tallinn, do yourself a favor, and stay some somewhere else. More

Location is pretty much in the middle of the old town and c15-20 minutes walk from the ferries. I'm surprised at other reviewers criticism of reception staff, as our service was very helpful. The hotel has been well designed to retain as many original features as possible, whilst providing modern amenities. The rooms were well laid out with a big... More

The hotel has a nice character to it - the corridors are a maze of medieval pathways to the rooms. We had a good quiet room with a view to the courtyard. The bed was comfy and the bathroom was clean. Normal Estonian service at the check-in desk - I wasn't expecting a royal treatment. The location of the hotel... More

Very reasonably priced, good size, clean rooms and a great breakfast buffet! Hotel is in the heart of the old town, but still very quiet. Bar / restaurant does a great creme brulee. More

Nice enough for a weekend. The hotel is perfectly located however we had some issues, we were 3 and we got an extra kind of weird mattress which was so very thin that it made it impossible to sleep on it. Normal bed had 2 of those mattresses so sleep quality was ok. It smelled horrible in the upper floors... More

Do not get me wrong its a great location so near lots of fantastic restaurants and the restaurants in Tallinn are fantastic value with great food, but the St Olav Hotel however, is not one I would recommend, luckily I did not break the bank staying there. I think the receptionists and there were two female and one male while... More

This is my kind of hotel. A place Count Dracula would feel at home in. Bits of medieval walls and wooden beams exposed at every nook and cranny. A 14th century fortified merchants residence, with attached storerooms, converted in the 18th century into a Russian aristocrat's house, and a library in Soviet times. This is not a hotel for people... More
