I agree with al reviews that the staff are generally unfriendly. There was one exception. But it could be a cultural thing as most Estonians are like this. It doesn't bother me. The stairs bit is true but this hotel is in teh old town. If you want to stay in the old town, the choices are not many and... more

Very close to the city center. However it is hard to get to the rooms with alot of luggage we had to go down one set of spiral staircases, walk through the restaurant, down another hall, and then for our room up 5 flights of stairs. Luckily all we had was small carry-on sizes, can't imagine doing it with a... more

We chose this hotel as it was so near the centre of the old town, which was certainly an advantage. We arrived at midnight and the only greeting, after signing in was - down the stairs then turn right. In fact we had to ascend 100 steep and sometimes winding stairs to get to our room, with no help on... more

The problem with this hotel: - It is 7 floors and no lift - There is no fire-escape at all. Not even outside stairs. There is a fire folder in your room telling you that if there is a fire in the normal stairs, close the door to your room and hope for the best... - The breakfast is almost... more

The location of the Olevi hotel is one of the few positive aspects as the hotel is right in the heart of the medieval city. I wanted to stay in the old town, but many hotels didn't offer reasonable options for families. The Olevi residence seemed to meet our needs as it allowed us to share the same room -... more

We spent one night here at the end of our trip round Finland, having taken the short trip over from Helsinki. We booked the hotel through one of the websites accessible through this website, we chose a deluxe room and somehow ended up with a two bedroom suite (room number 1). Needless to say it was quite a sizeable set... more

A pleasant enough hotel, well situated in the centre of the town, close to everything. Like other reviews found the staff to be a little on the grumpy side. Breakfast not great, buffet style and small breakfast area diddnot seem quite adequete to accommodate the diners. Our room was in the basement of the hotel with a window overlooking a... more

My wife and I stayed at the Olevi for three nights in early September. The hotel is a 5-minute walk to the square in the center of Old Town Tallinn. It is located in a neighborhood with several interesting shops and restaurants. Since it is outside the busy, noisy bar and tourist zone it is a good place to stay.... more

We've just returned from a 5 night stay at the Olevi. Its probably worth putting in context that there were two of us, both late 40s both fairly healthy (see next comments). The hotel is right in the heart of the old town, so really good location, but that's the highlight. We picked up our keys at reception and given... more
