Braavo Hotel Tallinn — Hotel in Tallinn

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Braavo Hotel. It was not perfect but the positive features vastly outweighed the negative ones. ||The hotel is very convenient for the old town and so is extremely convenient for visitors wishing to see the sights.||Our room was spacious. A few more coathangers would have been useful, but there was room for our luggage and the bed was very comfortable. The lighting was good, there were plenty of electric sockets and the wifi signal was strong.||The bathroom had a decent shower. A shelf to put our own toiletries on in the shower would have made it even better.||The price included the use of the gym and spa centre. This was not just a hotel swimming pool but a suite of pools, jacuzzis and saunas and a large, well-equipped gym. We did not use the gym but went to the spa centre several times, including on the morning of our last day as it opened at 6am. We got very tired from sightseeing (there is a lot to see in Tallinn) and sometimes the weather was not so good. It was great be able to relax in the spa. It really enhanced our stay in Tallinn. Both spa and gym were used by local people as well as hotel guests.||Breakfast was the usual self -service buffet with a range of dishes, some local and some international. The amount on display was quite small but it was regularly replenished. Curioulsy the coffe maching was very slow, but the coffee itself was very good.||The staff were always friendly and helpful. Before our vist we emailed the hotel to ask about the best way to get to the hotel from the airport and quickly recieved a reply suggesting we should get the bus number 2 to Estonia station and then walk. This was extremely useful and was completely correct. After our stay in Tallinn we were continuing our trip by ferry to Finland. Although the hotel was only about 15 minutes' walk to the terminal for ferries to Helsinki, it was raining hard on our last morning and the receptionist kindly ordered a taxi for us.||The hotel has a confusing layout, only on two floors but with several small flights of stairs. Lifts or or ramps would have made it easier to carry our luggage, but this is a minor quibble. If we return to Tallinn we will stay...

The "Spa Hotel" is more of a fitness studio with a swimming pool and sauna and should not be confused with a wellness hotel. Accordingly, the reception area is equipped with a barrier. Our room and others were outside of the main building with the reception and directly adjoined a large parking lot, which was heavily frequented from early in the morning until late in the evening, for an estimated at least 200 vehicles. The parking lot was brightly lit in the evening and at night, with the access to the parking lot being blocked from around 11 p.m. at night. ||||The exit door of the left room bordered directly on the parking lot. When the door was opened, the fitness area opposite became visible. At night, the inside of the room could not be significantly darkened by a curtain for sleeping. The room had no air conditioning, just a simple fan. The bathroom with toilet did not contain a shower screen. The result was that after showering the floor was flooded and wet for a very long time (i.e. approx. 1 hour), so that, for reasons of hygiene, a subsequent visit to the toilet was done barefoot in order not to wade through the water with shoes. When moving into the room, there was no soap solution in the two soap dispensers in the bathroom. After a complaint immediately after arrival and inspection of the room, there was allegedly no replacement room, so my partner and I stayed in this room for two nights. We decided not to move to another room the next day, as we had to leave for the airport at 3:15 a.m. on the second night and we had previously been in Tallinn all day. The breakfast in the form of a buffet was very simple and lacked any imagination. ||||Under a mediocre hotel, I imagine something else. During our group active trip through the Baltic States, the Braavo Spa Hotel was by far the worst and most uncomfortable hotel we had stayed. We and most of the members of our travel group found the selection of this hotel by our tour operator World Insight to be an impertinence. I very much hope that the tour operator will no longer send guests to this hotel...

Nicely located and good price but…

We stayed there for 6 days and nobody ever came to clean the room.

The hot water in the shower was coming down so slow and with so low pressure that was impossible to shower, so I always had to shower in the common showers down at the spa where there was no shampoo and only a very low quality soap. Even there, twice, there was no hot water.

The first night I was very cold, the temperature was displayed as 19 degrees, so I informed the reception and they came to “do something” that didn’t change the temperature at all. Until the last day (the 6th day) where finally the temperature in the room displayed as 22°. Also in the corridors to get to the breakfast and pool area it was always very cold, the heaters were set as 10°.

They don’t provide any bathrobe and sleepers, only a very tiny towel and also you don’t get a key to enter the spa area that lasts the entire time of your stay, but every time you enter you had to line up at the reception and ask for a new key to enter. Apart for one time when there were two receptions, the other times there was always a line at the reception.

There is no such a “hotel atmosphere” is more like a public pool with some rooms.

The pools are old and not properly cleaned. I have a very slight allergy to mold and dust. The fourth day I had to stop going to the spa because I was coughing too much, especially in the hydromassage area. In the room also, during the last two nights I couldn’t breathe properly (I guess because the carpet floor was not cleaned) and I was coughing all the time. The moment I step out from the hotel my breathing issue and...
