Meriton Old Town Garden Hotel

Meriton Old Town Garden Hotel is a mid-range hotel at Lai 49 in the northern part of Tallinn Old Town, Estonia, close to the medieval city wall and the Great Coastal Gate with the Fat Margaret tower. The location is a few minutes on foot from the passenger port and from the ferry terminals serving Helsinki, and around ten minutes from Town Hall Square, which makes the hotel practical for short stays and for travellers arriving by sea. The building sits in a quieter part of the historic centre, and the property is known for a small garden courtyard that gives the hotel its name and offers a calm place to sit in summer. The style is modern and comfortable rather than historic, with a straightforward interior suited to leisure visitors, families and small groups. Rooms are available as Standard, Superior and Family categories, with wifi, air conditioning and non-smoking accommodation, and the family rooms provide additional bed space for parents travelling with children. The on-site restaurant serves a breakfast buffet and meals during the day and evening, with Estonian and international dishes. The hotel has no large spa or pool, and the focus is on value, location and a quiet atmosphere compared with the busier streets around Town Hall Square. Staff at reception can supply maps, arrange taxis and give advice on restaurants, museums and day trips such as Lahemaa National Park or Pirita. Double rooms usually cost about €70-140 per night, depending on date, with summer and December the most expensive periods. Lai street is cobbled and gently sloping, so visitors with heavy luggage may prefer to take a taxi directly to the entrance.
