    cute staff
    unique atmosphere
    low ceiling
    limited breakfast
    minibar deposit

    Atmospheric hotel located near key attractions with cute staff. The curved dining room, dating back to the 1370s, offers a unique vibe. Rooms come with large windows, though mine had a low ceiling, which limited space. Breakfast featured rotating options, but the orange juice was more of a flavoring than the real thing. A €50 deposit upon arrival was taken for the minibar.

    Perfect, clean venue with great and fantastic location not far from other central attractions & transport, the square in the old town and Tallinn, Estonia. Lots of really tasty and enjoyable breakfast items to choose from. Great choice for trip.

    friendly staff
    excellent breakfast
    cramped room
    modern amenities
    limited toiletries

    The stay offered a fantastic location right next to famous landmarks. Friendly and helpful staff ensured a warm reception and a comfortable atmosphere. The breakfast was excellent, with a wide selection including hot dishes like bacon and eggs, as well as a variety of vegetables. The room was a bit cramped, and the bathroom amenities could have been more modern. The lack of extra toiletries was also a minor drawback.

    Positive, The location was perfect, only a 10-minute walk to attractions. Breakfast was superb with a variety of options, including hot dishes. The staff were super friendly and helpful, cute us at midnight after a flight delay. My room was clean, warm, and comfortable with a lovely ensuite 👍

    Very good breakfast buffet, included in the price. The atmosphere of the building, the location of course and the fabulous price. The leaning against the old city wall. The elevator!

    The beds were far too soft. The room was very strange and therefore uncomfortable. No seating. No lobby at the hotel. The bathroom was not very clean and very very very small. The heating could hardly be regulated.

    Great spot in the old town

    I stayed 1 night and loved the mini-bar in my room and the heated bathroom floors were a nice touch! The vibe of the building was super historical, and it was so close to everything in the old town. It could've been warmer at night, though. They really should add extra blankets .

    The old history of this hotel is fascinating, although not properly used in the design of the facilities and service. Meriton could also use the locational nearness of Three Sisters Hotel (the most expensive in Tallinn) for its advantage. Bella Vita room 's best part was the balcony (morning sun), although the room was pretty small.

    Small rooms, inadequate room cleaning (for example, no wine glasses and the stnadard water glasses were not changed every day), sometimes sheets were not properly washed. Morning breakfast actually ended 1/2 hour berofe the official closing (almost empty buffet, no cheese slices, no orange juice, empty salt bottles etc)
