The von Stackelberg Hotel

The von Stackelberg Hotel is a four-star, 43-room hotel at Toompuiestee 23 in Tallinn, Estonia, housed in a residence dating from 1875 at the foot of Toompea hill. The location overlooks the Old Town and sits on the western edge of the medieval centre, where the ring road Toompuiestee runs below the limestone slopes of Toompea. From the door, visitors can walk up to Toompea Castle, the Estonian Parliament and Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in a few minutes, or descend into the lower Old Town and Town Hall Square on foot. The Balti Jaam railway and market area is a short walk in the other direction, and trams and buses on Toompuiestee link the hotel with the airport and the city centre. The building is a nineteenth-century residence, and the hotel presents a refined, slightly old-fashioned atmosphere of period character combined with contemporary comfort, popular with leisure travellers and small business groups. Rooms are offered as Standard Rooms, Superior Rooms and Suites, and rates run roughly €100-210 per night depending on season and room category. Amenities listed include wifi, a restaurant and a bar, with breakfast normally served on site. The hotel does not advertise a pool or spa, so guests wanting a sauna or treatments typically use facilities at larger Tallinn hotels. With 43 rooms, the property is small enough for personal service from the reception, who can assist with taxis, sightseeing suggestions and restaurant bookings. Rooms in the historic building differ in size and layout, and upper floors facing Toompea or the Old Town offer some of the best outlooks. Because Toompuiestee is a busy road, rooms facing the street may carry traffic noise, and a quieter room can be requested when booking. The hotel is well placed for visitors who want a calmer base on the edge of the Old Town while remaining within a ten-minute walk of its main sights in Estonia's capital.
