Good value for $

Shopping abounds in the Old Town, which is about a 20 minute walk to the north of the hotel. Just follow Parnu mnt to the north for about 20 minutes. Be aware of traffic signals as some of the streets can be busy, especially around rush hour.

Tartari 53 was a nice hotel. It is sort of hidden from the street, but once you find it you will be home for the duration of your stay in Tallinn, Estonia. The front desk staff was the friendliest I have encountered anywhere. Very helpful and their English was superb. Internet access is available in the lobby & the first 30 minutes are free. Breakfast is basic, but adequate. Cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, ham, cheese, bread, coffee, fruit, juice. The room was small, but was perfect for the price that I paid. Very comfortable bed & since the hotel is set back from the street I heard no street traffic at all in my room. The Old Town is about a 20 minute walk to the north. It is a nice walk as you can follow the busy street directly to the Old Town & just see normal everyday Tallinn in action. I would recommend this hotel to budget travelers, who are not in need of the frilly extras that larger chain hotels offer. Tatari 53 offers clean & friendly accomodations at reasonable prices.
