Ystävällistä palvelua historiallisen kauniissa rakennuksessa.
Pros:

Olimme erityisen tyytyväisiä sänkyihin ja aamupalaan. Huone oli kaunis. Ikkunat olivat myös kauniit ja huoneen sai yöksi suht pimeäksi.

Cons:

Liikenteenmelu kuului huoneseen jonkin verran, mutta olimme tietoisia että näin saattaa olla.

Highly recommended breakfast
Pros:

Absolutely unique and beautiful.
The lady at breakfast went way beyond explaining the tradition for breakfast and making me a colourful plate!

Cons:

The reception staff did the bare minimum and on leaving hardly acknowledged me despite me saying I am returning another night .

Correu dentro das expectativas
Pros:

Pequeno almoço dentro dos parâmetros, com variedade.
Localização, é excelente, encontrando-se dentro da Old town, perto de todas as atrações. Perto dos transportes caso se queira visitar atrações fora da Old Town.
Empregados sempre com um sorriso e prontos a ajudar.

Нам понравилось все!
Pros:

Наш визит в Таллин был с 10.02.2026 по 12.02.2026. И мы не пожалели, что выбрали именно "Rija Old Town Hotel". Прекрасное расположение в самом центре старого города, в центре исторического места Таллина, в пешеходной зоне, что сделало нашу поездку еще более увлекательной и интересной. Все в шаговой доступности - кафе , ресторанчики, магазины, сувенирные лавки.
Очень понравился персонал отеля, приветливый, отзывчивый, доброжелательный! Номер чистый, уютный , все необходимое в номере есть.
Отельная благодарность за завтраки, вкусные и сытные, разнообразные! Было все необходимое для сбалансированного завтрака, что являлось хорошим началом дня!

Nice hotel in a great location.
Pros:

Location is good, close to boat terminal and old town. Breakfast was nice and the staff was friendly and helpful. Would book again!

Cons:

Room was very small but good enough for the price since it was the very basic standard room I booked for one night.

Pros:

Lokasyon, temizlik, kahvaltı ve çalışanların yardımseverliği

Cons:

Odalar biraz küçük, kahvaltı saat 10'da bitiyor, onu bir geçe indik almadılar, tatil için ön kahvaltı sınırı çok erken, en erken 11.00 olmalı bu bizi çok rahatsız etti

Idéal pour découvrir Tallinn.
Pros:

La localisation qui nous a permis de presque tout faire à pied.
Le balcon de notre chambre.
La gentillesse de Natalia pendant le petit déjeuner.

Cons:

La salle de bains était minuscule et la douche n’ayant pas de pas de rideau, il était facile de mettre de l’eau partout.
Le petit déjeuner avait des lacunes, en particulier pour le fromage et la charcuterie.
Très bon café.
