CRU Hotel

CRU Hotel is a fifteen-room boutique hotel at Viru 8 in Tallinn's Old Town, Estonia, occupying a 15th-century merchant's house. Viru Street is the Old Town's main pedestrian thoroughfare, running from the Viru Gate towards Town Hall Square, and the hotel sits roughly 100 metres from the square. That position puts shops, cafés, museums and the medieval city wall within a few minutes on foot, while the Viru Keskus shopping centre and the bus and tram connections at Viru Square are close by. The building is a genuine medieval merchant's dwelling, and the hotel preserves that sense of age with an intimate scale that contrasts with larger hotels nearby. Room types include Double Rooms, Superior Rooms and Suites, and with only fifteen rooms in total the stay tends to feel personal and quiet. Rates generally range from about €100 to €200 per night, with peaks in summer and December. Amenities listed are wifi and a restaurant, and the hotel is associated with a well-regarded dining venue on the premises, making dinner a convenient option on arrival. There is no pool or spa, so the appeal rests on location, atmosphere and food rather than wellness facilities. Service is small-hotel in character, with reception able to help with reservations and local advice, and the hotel can be reached on +372 611 7600 or by email at cruhotel@cruhotel.eu. Because Viru Street can be lively on summer evenings, light sleepers may wish to ask for a room away from the street. The property suits couples and short-stay visitors who want a central address with historic character, and it is a practical base for walking the entire Old Town without needing transport.
