This is an old European hotel that has been updated - quality workmanship - exactly what I was looking for. The location is great, close to the Old Town square and easy access to bus and tram lines. A great morning breakfast was included, and a very nice restaurant and bar. Friendly and competent staff. really great price for my 8 day May visit.

You need to be aware since this is an OLD establishment there is no elevator, so it is 20 plus steps to any room, and I was at the top that was about 45, several hallways along the way. I likes that, but some may not.

We had a wonderful stay at the CRU Hotel! The location is absolutely perfect, right in the heart of Tallinn's Old City Center, making it easy to explore all the charming sights. The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and attentive, which made our experience even more enjoyable. Lastly, the breakfast was fantastic—delicious and with a great variety of options to start the day off right. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Tallinn!

The hotel has no elevator, something we didn’t notice in the description, and the staircase was quite steep—important to keep in mind if you have mobility issues. Additionally, the photos of the rooms felt somewhat misleading compared to how they were in reality. Our room description mentioned a sauna, but there wasn’t one, which was disappointing. Overall, it’s a charming hotel, but a bit more attention to accurate descriptions and accessibility would make the experience even better.

Perfect small romantic hotel for visits to Old Tallinn!! After checking over 500 hotel in over 100 countries, this hotel is one of the best hotels ever!! The service was very effective (the hotel called me twice by phone to make our stay good), the upgraded room was just perfect with all necessities, the breakfast was very good. So, we had everything we could have imagined - and for what low fee!

Hard to find anything. But, when we tried to use the luxury coffee maker in our room (on early breakfast), the machine just "swallowed" twice our small packages of coffee - and we just got hot water out from the machine. So, some written advice how to use the machine would be good....

Our room exceeded expections - better than photos on the website. Our beds were comfortable, very warm doonas, exceptionally quiet as we were back off the main street. Breakfast was a small selection of local foods. Staff were very helpful. The location is amazing - close to everything in old town Tallinn - historical sites, museums, restaurants and coffee shops. Above all the hotel is full of historical character and charm.

There was not much we didn't like, bar the sewerage odours occasionally wafting in the bathroom. As the building is several hundred years old this was to be expected and didn't worry us too much.

I had an outstanding 5-night stay at this hotel. Nestled in the heart of Tallinn’s enchanting Old Town, the historic building is both charming and meticulously preserved. My room was spacious, clean, and bright, offering both comfort and a sense of connection to the past. The staff were friendly and efficient, ensuring a seamless stay. The breakfast was a highlight, featuring a thoughtful variety of fresh, high-quality sweet and savory items. Excellent WiFi made it easy to stay connected. I couldn’t have asked for more!

It was an amazing building so beautiful and nice in the old town. The vibe in the hotel was very good. It had unique details all over the place. The rooms were clean. It was very quiet although it is in the heart of old town. Amazing location.

Staff was kind but so many of them didn't speak english which made it difficult to communicate. Another thing was the many stairs, it didn't bother me most days but you need to know if you are older or have any mobility issues.

The rooms were spacious with each room offering something unique. The hotel appears small from the outside but once inside you find it goes back a long way. The corridors are quirky and lit in such a way that captures the uniqueness and history of the building. The location was perfect within a 5 minute walk of the Christmas market. I could rave about this hotel all day long.

The only downside I noted (it is literally the only downside) was a lack of disabled access, if you are a wheelchair user, or struggle with stairs this hotel is not for you.

The hotel is in a perfect location for restaurants, bars, shops and all the sites within the old town. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is so lovely with historical elements to the rooms, feels like a unique place to stay. Comfy beds, good shower, nicely equipped rooms with fridge, sofa, TV and hairdryer. Breakfast was really tasty with hot and cold options and served until 11am which was good after a late night out on the town.

Can’t fault anything, would stay again.

Cool old building, quirky. Loads of stairs. Breakfast buffet was fantastic. Location to Christmas market was perfect. Requested children's bed which was made up upon our arrival. Renovated bathrooms, however one of the rooms we booked was quite smelly (old building). The next day, receptionist assisted in booking a taxi who was very prompt and lovely.

Beds were very squishy. Receptionist did not offer information freely, needed to know exactly what to ask : where is breakfast, what time, where are rooms, etc.

Tallinn is an exceptionally special city and the CRU Hotel is located right in the old town. It’s an excellent stay to experience and the location cannot be beat. The old walls of the hotel insulate the rooms from noise and we loved every minute being there. It’s a great value for your money as well.

The hotel offers its own restaurant (Il Cru Osteria). We were disappointed when they said they couldn’t seat us even though there were many empty tables. I guess they didn’t have enough staff that evening. The menu looked very interesting
