Picolo recommends · Hotel in Tallinn, Estonia
Nordic Hotel Forum
A rooftop pool and sauna on Viru Square, where you look across the red roofs and church spires just outside the gate to the Old Town.
The sauna on the roof is where the day ends here. Through the windows you see the rooftops and spires of the Old Town, which starts on the other side of the Viru Gate.
The hotel stands on Viru Square, between the medieval town and the modern centre, with the port within easy reach. Rooms are modern and simple, and the spa with its pool is the main draw.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Nordic Hotel Forum
We like the location and the rooftop spa. You can walk to the Old Town, the shops and the ferries, and a pool with a view makes it a practical choice for families and groups of friends.
The rooms are plain and do not have much personality. If you want a hotel that feels like part of the old town, Schlössle or The Three Sisters will give you more.
