Picolo recommends · Hotel in Tallinn, Estonia
Hotel St. Petersbourg
Among Tallinn’s oldest hotels, tucked into a side street by Town Hall Square, now dressed in dark colours and a few daring details.
Step out of the door, turn the corner and you are on Town Hall Square. St. Petersbourg has been receiving guests for longer than almost any other hotel in the city.
The rooms have been given a modern look, with dark walls and some bold design choices. The surrounding streets hold several of the Old Town’s best cafés and wine bars.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Hotel St. Petersbourg
This is our value pick. You get the same central address as the expensive Old Town hotels for noticeably less, which suits couples and friends on a long weekend.
The hotel has no spa, and the rooms are on the small side. If you plan to spend a lot of time in the hotel, Telegraaf or Nordic Hotel Forum give you more space and facilities.
