The hotel is very well-located in the Old Town area of Tallinn. I knew that the hotel was in old city buildings, and classical rather than modern in style. That said, my 6-day stay was nice in all respects. The hotel's reception staff were friendly and helpful in offering recommendations of where to visit, go for dinner, or drink a beer in the evening. My room a standard room in the side building, not luxurious, but with ample space and everything in good functioning order. Housekeeping kept the room tidy each day. A big plus was the breakfast which included meats, cheeses, breads, vegetables, and more typical breakfast dishes including omeletes, breakfast meats, and bakery. Breakfast was open until 11:00 so you could sleep in a little and still get to enjoy breakfast. Taxi's aren't usually allowed to drive in Old Town streets, but the dropoff/pickup point is no more than one block from the hotel. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay and I will stay at Hestia Barons again. Two small suggestions. It is always nice when hotel rooms have a coffee maker or at least a coffee pot. That would be a nice addition. The room was very comfortable but the mattress was a bit soft for my taste. But, these small suggestions don't detract from my overall positive experience at the hotel.

Great location, however, if you're in the other building across the street on Suur Karja and it's the weekend, bring earplugs! Our first night was a Friday and we arrived late, the bar next door was in full swing and the bass thumped through the walls until around 3 am. Asked to move the next day and they were really helpful, put us in the main building which was great - didn't hear a thing. The staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast was good, and as mentioned - the location is great. Everything within a short stroll, in the heart of Old Town.
