Rija Fonnental Design Hotel Tallinn Reviews

Very decent small hotel; good value. A bit outside of town (20-30 min from city center in foot; it's not much, but Tallinn is otherwise a very small town). 5 minutes from the airport by taxi; 30 minutes on foot from the ferry pier from Helsinki.

Room not that large but enough for a night sleep, and the price is reasonable.

I have stayed at this hotel 3 times already and that says it all. Clean, comfortable, warm, cozy. Very friendly people at the reception. Very comfortable mattresses and pillows. There is a kettle in the room. Breakfast is not big, but very tasty and well presented. You can also have breakfast outside. Location, near Kadriorg park and tram stop to the center. The only caveat is that in some rooms the window may not open. And that's really important

Due to flight issues, I had to temporarily look for a hotel to stay in Aisalia for one night. However, this decision made me have an unpleasant night. First of all, I arrived at the long-distance bus station at around 8 o'clock in the evening. This hotel is located in a remote location away from the station. It takes 30 minutes to walk. After arriving at the hotel, the waiter first gave me my room card and then charged me! I told him that I had paid on Trip.com, and he checked again and confirmed that no payment was required. But when I entered the room, I felt that it was different from the rooms described in the room facilities and photos on Trip.com. There was no desk and chairs, and even the most basic electric kettle and water cup were provided. I reported it to him, but the waiter said that it was No, I can cancel if I don't like it, but it's already 9pm outside with heavy snow and -5 degrees below zero. I can find another place to stay, so I have no choice but to accept it, and Trip.com reviews The hotel is rated as four stars, which is simply too much. It is no different from a hostel at all. So I will definitely not recommend my friends to stay in this rubbish hotel. If travelers want to choose a place, they should consider it carefully.

Travelers who choose this hotel should keep in mind that there are rooms in which the windows do not open at all (solid glazing). When booking, please leave a request that the windows in the room be full. The room class will be standard.

I stayed here for 3 nights. Excellent cleanliness, the bed was superb but there was a lack of experienced service staff. Apart from Edward on reception, all other staff seemed bothered when asked for assistance. Staff need to be friendlier and more accommodating.

I have stayed here several times as it is very convenient for visiting relatives in Kadriorg. The hotel is also good value and, as a single traveller, the small rooms are not a problem. One minor gripe though - for some reasons kettles have been removed from the rooms so it is no longer possible to enjoy tea/coffee in the room, which is rather disappointing.

Thank you for the cosy and friendly visit. The best smell of coffee at the cafe in front of the reception desk! We will come to visit your hotel again. Our stay was short this time, but next time we would like to visit your restaurant, which is located on the first floor.

Very nice clean and modern hotel. Comfortable rooms. Friendly staff. Breakfast service was very good. Walking distance to the old town. Couple of small issues.. Didn't see a house keeper during our stay. Rooms were very hot and stuffy (Room 505). Not a lot of storage for clothes. Never the less I would stay again if I returned to Estonia

We booked it via their homepage because it was cheaper than all the other hotelbooking platforms. The rooms very very nice and had compfy beds. Smart-Tv and good bathrooms. Parking either on the street (depends which time you are there - there is a fee hourly to a certain time) or they have one or two spaces in the parking garage next to them. Breakfast is included and you can choose what you want from a menu.

A very nice and cosy small (boutique/design) hotel in a Kadriorg district. If you like to walk, you do not need a public transport at all to visit all the landmarks. Absolutely different atmosphere than in chain hotels in the center. The staff was superb. Rooms are nicely renovated and tasteful (scandi decor). There are not cupboards or shelves in the room to put the clothes/items away from the suitcase but additional furniture would not fitted well considering the room plan. In the end the lack of shelves/wardrobes, etc. was not an issue at all. The breakfast is not buffet but three choices (I did not mind at all). Breakfast was excellent/tasty. The only neg. point: there is a gourmet cafeteria opposite to the reception, I would have expected a good coffee at the breakfast but there was poor instant coffee served in the thermos instead. The solution for a guest is to order a morning coffee from the cafeteria. Nevertheless, the price and quality ratio of the hotel is really good. The coffee issue can be forgotten since overall experience was super. Very happy and satisfied about my stay, would return any time.

A super nice, small and cozy hotel in one of the most atmospheric parts of Tallinn. Breakfast is super well organized and a la carte food in the restaurant is also of very good quality. The room was very small but pleasantly designed. I definitely recommend it.

We were in this hotel from December 15 to 18, 2023. The superior room (405) is modern with a large television with only Estonian and Russian channels, a good bed and kettle with coffee and tea. A large bathroom with rain shower. Except for some minor points of interest, a beautiful room. The cleaning could be a little better. We found the breakfast inadequate and too expensive for what it was. €14 per person for two croissants, two slices of cheese, a slice of ham and a small piece of butter (see the photos). You had to pay extra for decaffeinated coffee. For three days this was €24.00 extra. We found that very disappointing. We have never had to pay extra for this in a hotel.

Beautiful design of the hotel, quiet place to stay and relax. Big disappointment about cleaning. Dirty table top, shower door, trash bin, lots of dust on standing lamp. Bed was fine and comfy. Thanks
