Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Reviews summary
This summary was created by AI, based on recent reviews.
Powered by AI
The Nordic Hotel Forum garners high marks for its cleanliness, with guests frequently lauding the pristine condition of its rooms and facilities, including the pool and spa area. While its modern amenities, prime location near Old Town, and stylish atmosphere are often praised, some visitors note issues with noise and limited pool space.
Although the quality and inclusiveness of amenities are seen as providing good value, extra costs for breakfast and parking have drawn criticism. Guests commend the hotel's service and comfortable beds, despite occasional service hiccups and temperature control problems in rooms.

Detailed Reviews
Hotel's Favourite
Beautifully appointed and very spacious rooms, with lovely public areas and, in particular, a very welcoming bar. The pool and spa on the top floor were a real treat, with the added bonus of fantastic views across the City. Great location for the historic city centre, but also immediately adjacent to the regenerated and very funky Rotterman district. Breakfast buffet was excellent and offered an amazing selection and variety of food - we particularly enjoyed the omelettes made freshly to order. The only thing that let it down were the two highly temperamental coffee machines which didn’t seem up to the job of dealing with the demand - but a very minor problem in what was otherwise a hugely enjoyable stay!

This centrally located hotel offers spacious and cozy rooms with excellent bed. Room was also very quiet, we heard no kind of noises from outside or from other rooms. Reception was really friendly and we got our room already at 1 p.m. which was very positive surprise to us. We tested and liked also spa area with traditional and Turkish sauna, and swimming pool.
Only breakfast left contradictory feelings to us. Choice and quality of dishes was very good. Especially selection of warm dishes was exceptionally large. But the rush and disorder were something that we did not like at all. Capacity of breakfast restaurant was all to small compared to amount of quest that has arrived to restaurant, at least between 9 and 10 am. They did not limit entry any way although they should have done that. We had to look for free table almost 10 minutes and some quest still longer time. Tables were also quite full of used cutlery. Obviously situation is better earlier in the morning.

Nordic Hotel Forum has gone through a fine renovation making it the freshest and most up to date place to stay. The renovated hotel rooms have a fine soothing nordic design atmosphere, new beds, tv-s and bathrooms making it a good place to relax after a long day of meetings. Another good feature is a fast and responsive wifi connection which enables to have video meetings and catch up with work. On top floor there was a 24h open GYM and mini spa with private saunas and views on all sides of Tallinn. Breakfast buffee had everything for a nice healthy meal + there is a new restaurant which gives a good competition for other fine dining restaurants in area!

The hotel is freshly renovated and interior design is nice. Bed is very comfortable and room is spacious. Breakfast was very good- wide selection of everything.
As we were staying in standard room, it felt a bit like Ryanair flight that you had to pay extra for every facility. Spa usage is included to the price but you have to pay extra for slippers and bathrobe, open wifi is free but you have to pay for secured wifi. These things are small and not too expensive for the hotel to include but somehow it's only included for the superior rooms. This leaves a bitter taste and make me prefer other hotels where every extra facility doesn't cost me.

Nordic Hotel Forum turned out to be the perfect place for my 3 night long hotel stay in Tallinn in Nov -21. When checking in, I was given a spacious and quiet room at the highest floor with wonderful views with no extra cost, as the hotel was not full. I found all facilities fresh and brand new after the recent renovation. Every spot at the hotel was super clean: the room, the spa department, the gym and the restaurants. The room was really nice: the beds were comfortable, the linen and towels of high quality. Small fridge had complimentary water bottles, juice and 2 bottles of soft drinks. Nice first impression! I also loved the espresso machine in the room. The gym was open 24/7 and it was fresh, well air conditioned and equipped with new excercise gear. The spa was free of charge and open all day long until 10 pm and included a high class hot Finnish sauna as well as the most beautiful steam sauna I`ve ever seen. In addition, the swimming pool was big enough for a nice swim and the water in it was comfortably warm, some 28 degrees. The only thing I would change in the whole hotel was the temperature of the jaguzzi: it should be hotter. (Now it is the same as the swimming pool). The breakfast was served from 7 to 10 am and it was tasteful and plentiful and included both hot and cold items. The Japanese restaurant was nice, too. All in all, the whole experience was wonderful and I definately will come back on my next trip to Tallinn!!!

I have stayed in this hotel numerous times and have always enjoyed my stay. The whole hotel is now newly renovated and looks really good, the rooms are cosy and comfortable with everything you need in it, including slippers, iron and ironing board. There are free drinks on arrival but the bottled water does not get replenished anymore which is a shame, I would prefer new water bottles every day instead of welcome drinks (juices and coke).
The staff was very welcoming. There was one incident with one of the gentleman at the reception desk when I mentioned the minibar not working and he replied that it’s fine, as it’s not supposed to be very cold. When I said that the drinks in it are completely warm, he still tried to convince me that there’s nothing wrong with the minibar! He wasn’t rude about it or anything but it was still awkward. Other than that the service was excellent from all the staff members, one of the gentleman from reception even bothered to find us at the breakfast on the first morning to return the phone my daughter had left in the lounge the previous day!
The pool area is really nice and usually not busy at all. There’s also a gym there but we didn’t use it. Breakfast is really good with lots of different choices and at least the orange juice is a proper juice, not the diluted drink like some of the other hotels have. Coffee is decent and strong, there’s no choice of different coffee drinks from machine or hot chocolate but that’s not a big deal.
The location of this hotel is probably the best in the city, old town just a short walk away, beautiful Rotermanni quarter behind the hotel and bus and tram stops across the road. Stunning port area within walking distance.
I will definitely be staying there again!

Great location, clean and confortable rooms, very good breakfast. Modern, stylish hotel, young and friendly staff. Near shops, Old Town and port. We stayed in a Deluxe Family Room: bathtub, shower, sofa bed, minibar (with some complementary drinks), microwave, coffee machine… and a large and confortable bed. All in all: a great choice!

Excellent location just outside the old city of Tallinn and close to the ferry terminal. The hotel is also in front of a main tram station (all lines) that makes it very easy to go to the airport. Big room with an entire glass wall, so very bright; it was on the street so a bit noisy but not much and quiet at night. Comfortable bed. There is a fitness center with a swimming pool, a steam bath and a sauna. I only tried the sauna (which is separated for men and women), not the steam bath (which is not); it lacks some quiet room to cool down after the sauna. Buffet breakfast is very good, various food. We asked for a late check out and got it.

Excellent location and very comfortable place to stay. Enjoyed the atmosphere and very good breakfast. How to improve? Please don't charge extra for bathrobe in Standard room and milk-coffees like cappuccino would be appreciated in breakfast area. Despite that would return next time!

The personnel was very friendly and the location was great, short distance from the harbour and the old town. The breakfast included many varieties. The room floor had some rubbish on it, but otherwise it was clean. During the night we weren't able to adjust the air conditioning properly so it was a bit too hot for us. The spa wasn't very big but when two of us visited it early in the morning it was nice and quiet. Beautiful view. All in all, worth a visit.

Yes, of course! The hotel is located in the center of the town, all the different restaurants including fast food and ´a la carte, also various coffee shops are situated in the walking distance from the hotel. And Wolt and Bolt have easy access to the hotel.
Taxi will cost about 10 euros to get there. There is also a Tram nr. 4 from Airport to the Hotel. Stop name is Hobujaama, walk 100 meters in driving direction, it’s on your right. Driver sells tickets.
