Estonia, once part of the former Soviet Union, is becoming quite the travel destination. In the bustling northern city of Tallinn is the remarkable Hotel Telegraaf, housed in a historic 1878 building that once served as an exchange for the Estonian Telegraph Company. Named to the Condé Nast Traveller, UK Hot List, this swank urban retreat boasts five-star status and a premier central location. Most guest chambers are located in the hotel's historic tower, while the Executive Rooms are housed in a newer wing. They all feature contemporary design, historical touches, and courtyard or city views.

This is possibly the most average hotel I have ever visited. Not bad, not good. It will totally be forgotten by the end of the month. Rooms were ok, bathroom ok, service passable. Breakfast was average. Pool was average, spa treatment rooms could have been storage cupboards. You could put absolutely any brand on this hotel except a luxury one. I wanted to love this hotel so much, but couldn’t. No one from the team except the concierge working the reception desk (and one longer haired bar tender), looked like they actually wanted to be there. Sad miserable faces greet you everywhere, quiet hushed voices and a look of sadness just made me feel down. Travel agent requested a firm pillow ahead of time, not in the room, asked for it added and was told they don’t have any. Tried again the next day and managed to secure but one, but - 1 nights bad sleep and a sore neck that lasted longer than the break just ruined it.

Location is good. The room is good. House keeping is good. They offer 2 bottles of complimentary water but they do not replenish the coffee and tea. Take note that there is a short flight of stairs from the main door to the reception, you need to lug your luggage up the steps.

Hotel telegraf is an excellent hotel for location and food choices. We are spoilt for choices in terms of food. It’s is also very near to the Christmas market with wonderful hotel staff services. The only drawback is the staircase you will need to carry up to the reception.

lovely hotel, great location, nice spa, historic rooms and very friendly staff. the location of the hotel is just great in the old town of Tallinn, the spa is lovely, we had a wonderful time and would choose the Telegraaf Hotel again for any next visit.

We had 3 nights here and this hotel is seriously one of the best choices in Tallinn. Location cannot be beat. Insight the old city 300 yards from the town square, and everything from restaurants to cafes within a 3 minute walk. Rooms are lovely and Bonvoy recognition for upgrade excellent. Room service attentive, breakfast in the Tchaikovsky restaurant excellent, and wifi super fast. No gym, and my only minor gripe was the lack of attention to the Bonvoy online app for requests but that was resolved promptly. Maxim on the front desk is a gem, eager to go above and beyond. Tallinn is a beautiful destination and if we ever return, this is the place I would stay without hesitation. 5 star all the way.
