Characterful hotel in historic building in centre of old Town. Very central, close to Town Hall and all major sites but, as a result, some distance from public transport. Helpful staff and good breakfasts, but room decor rather tired. Our room was overlooked by residents accessing other rooms and although our bathroom had been remodelled there was no shower, which was slightly peculiar.

Merchant's House is in a wonderful historic area. We enjoyed our stay, especially the large sauna area. What a great amenity. The location was convenient for exploring the old town. The condition of a few areas need improvement though. The patio was crumbling and in disarray and the exterior staircase is in need of repair or replacement. Our bathroom looked like it had been recently updated and our room was comfortable. Overall a very nice option in Tallinn.

Amazing location right next to the old town square with all the central attractions, bars and restaurants easily accessible on foot. Staff were all very helpful with advice on where to go and how to get there. Free use of private sauna a big plus. Breakfast was amazing with good choice of cold buffet including local cured meats, fruit, salads, yoghurt, cereals, pastries etc. Good choice of hot, cooked to order options also included. The English full cooked was really good quality and very substantial. Overall vibe of the hotel is relaxed, chilled and welcoming. We will definitely stay again!

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about this hotel! The location is perfect for being in Old Town. Walkable to everything we needed/wanted. All the staff we interacted with were so friendly and helpful! Sauna on site, which was lovely. The room was perfect, with a comfortable bed. Having a tub in the same room as the bed took some getting used to, but don’t knock it until you try it. Breakfast was simple, but delicious. Highly recommend and would say again!

Quite a unique hotel, not a chain, so very friendly staff.
Can’t put a finger on it, but really enjoyed my stay from the moment the receptionist gave me a map of the local area, she was full of enthusiasm and could see her love for the city
Location is excellent, we booked the economy room, but ended up in a standard one; which was a nice surprise.

Full of charm and character, excellent Elemis toiletries, quiet location (maybe it was the off season).

Room wasn’t modern (but that’s not the point of this hotel) but was comfortable, bed was big (little too soft for me). Had a Nespresso machine.

Breakfast was excellent, hot items were made to order.

A Memorable Stay at The Merchants House Hotel

From the moment we arrived, our experience at The Merchants House Hotel was nothing short of delightful. We were warmly welcomed by Angela, a lovely and attentive member of staff who set the tone for our stay. She provided us with a detailed map of Tallinn and gave excellent recommendations on what to see and where to go—such a thoughtful and helpful start!
Our room was spotless and comfortable, offering a peaceful retreat after exploring the city. Breakfast was a highlight each morning, with a varied menu that catered to different tastes and added a touch of indulgence to our stay.
The hotel itself is steeped in history and perfectly located in the heart of Tallinn’s Old Town, making it an ideal base for discovering the charm and character of the city. You truly feel immersed in the culture from the moment you step outside.
Overall, we had a fantastic stay. A heartfelt thank you to the entire hotel team for their warmth, courtesy, and genuine hospitality. We’re already looking forward to returning soon!

Hotel is in a great location and the staff are really pleasant and helpfu. The breakfast was delicious. The only reason for 4 stars rather than 5 was the bathroom - no stand up shower, only a roll-top freestanding bath, and when in the bath tub there are no nearby shelves to place toiletries.

It was a great experience staying at Merchants House Hotel - accommodating staff, great location (walkable to restaurants & shops) & with healthy breakfast choices (location of dining area: beautiful cozy basement). Do not forget to take advantage of the sauna located inside the hotel; it was offered to us but we didn’t get the chance.

Hospitable service over-all. The ManagerJonathan's carrying my luggage up the stairs was a nice touch. All 3 shift front desk staff were helpful and very friendly. Rich and satisfying breakfast, unbeatable location. No elevators and a bit too loud a street on weekend nights.

The Merchants House is the perfect location and its history and age adds to the experience of Tallinn Old Town. The breakfast was good with a wide selection. Margarita at reception is delightful. Friendly, helpful and with a wonderful sense of humour she made our week stay for the Song Festival a special one. Next time we hope to bring our daughter :)

As a solo woman traveler, I felt INCREDIBLY safe the entire visit. Angela especially was so nice to connect to, helped provide me with whatever I needed. The location was PRIME, you couldn't have asked for an amazing location midway walk to everything I needed for my 3 nights. Up the block at the top of the hill were 3 exceptional restaurants seconds away which enhanced my stay. I fell asleep right away- I will advise the room I stayed in with the tub publically threw me a curveball but I adjusted quickly and glad I was traveling solo as it may not be to everyones taste. I'd recommend this property highly. I didn't end up doing the breakfast at the hotel as there were many coffee shops nearby and I opted a different route- thank you merchant house for a memorable stay in a historic space !

Renovated old merchants house, my room was clean with view into the hotel courtyard. Fine for coming back to amd sleeping but not ideal if you're stuck inside if raining. Very very conveniently located just off the Main Square. Breakfast very good! All in all, happy, decent hotel, value for money. 24hrs reception desk too.

This boutique hotel was fabulous. Every single staff member we encountered was so helpful, friendly and kind. The location is absolutely perfect. The breakfast selection was ample and their omelettes are seriously one of the best I’ve ever eaten.

I would advise though that anyone with severe accessibility needs may struggle here. There are no lifts in the hotel and therefore the bedrooms and breakfast lounge are only accessible via stairs.

We honestly loved our stay here and would return to beautiful Tallinn and the Merchants Hotel in a heartbeat.

Thank you to everyone for making our stay here so memorable.

Great location, but room for improvement

First the good points: great location and very attentive staff; Helga was especially helpful and friendly. The breakfast offering, which we didn't take, looked good.
Now the not so good: some floor tiles in the bedroom (room 106) are loose, a non-functioning lamp in the bathroom (despite bringing this to their attention on day two of our four day stay), room cleanliness only average (there was a large paper clip in the centre of the floor throughout our stay) and the hotel courtyard was a mess (they told my wife that it was to be cleaned for June, which I just cannot understand as cleanliness is a year-round necessity).
We were offered an alternate room, however this was upstairs and, with no lift and a long walk to it, it just wasn't an option for me.

Pulling a suitcase across the cobblestones was annoying, so advance warning would have been nice.

Being on the top floor with said suitcases was also challenging.

I loved that this was an old house but i could not get any other information annoy it - like an original floor plan.

The hotel is in the town centre near shops and restaurants.
The reception staff are very lovely and attentive.

The only downside has been the bathtub which did not have any curtains and therefore it was inevitable to splash water all around the bathroom which made the floor hazardous.

I think my favorite part about this hotel is how 'Bed and Breakfast' it feels, while still having all the luxury of a high end hotel. The room was spacious and had everything you need, so you could hide out if you wanted, however, head into the reception area, amd there youll find social areas, games, a cafe and bar, as well as a wonderful underground breakfast all staffed by really friendly and sweet staff.

Nice hotel, great location

First, be aware that there is no elevator, and there's about 50 steps to the 3rd floor rooms. Other than that, a modest hotel in a great, quiet location in Tallinn's Old Town. Easy walking to restaurants and sights.

One nice thing: they'll cook eggs to order for breakfast, which I enjoyed a lot.

Charming hotel near City Hall

Staff was amazing. Went out of their way to be helpful. Room overlooked the courtyard so it was quiet at night. My only complaints are that WiFi didn’t work in our room so we had to go to the lobby to use it, and that our room had 5 stairs between the bathroom and wardrobe area up from the sleeping area .
Location was perfect- walked everywhere.
Good breakfast. I recommend!

The Merchants House Hotel is a beautiful historic building retaining plenty of its original 14th C features of beamed rooms, stone walls and painted ceilings within a modernised context while retaining its resplendent old-world charm. The staff are all super friendly and go above and beyond expectations. We loved staying here, and when we return to Tallinn, we plan to stay here again. Its location in the centre of the old town, just a minute's walk from the Raekoja Plats, is super convenient for accessing galleries, monuments, places of interest, and shops. Everything is so accessible. We had a wonderful stay. Many thanks to everyone who made it so.

My husband and I are both in our 80's and being on the 3rd floor without an elevator wasn't too much of a problem except that the control for the air conditioner was kept at the front desk (they only had one). They didn't seem to think that it would be a problem for us after having walked all day to have to make an extra trip up and down the stairs to borrow the control. The location of the hotel is about as good as you can get in the Old Town.

Certainly! Here's a positive review for Ercant's House:

---

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Merchant's House during my visit to Tallinn, and I can't say enough good things about this wonderful establishment. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and genuine friendliness by the staff. Their impeccable service made my stay incredibly comfortable and enjoyable.

The rooms were cozy and well-maintained, reflecting the care and attention to detail that Ercant's House is known for. Every morning, I looked forward to the delightful breakfast spread.

Location-wise, Merchant's House couldn't be better situated. Nestled in the heart of the old city, it offered convenient access to all the major attractions, restaurants, and shops.

Overall, my stay at Merchant's House was exceptional. The combination of excellent service, a friendly and attentive staff, delicious breakfast, and an ideal location makes it the perfect choice for anyone visiting Tallinn. I highly recommend it and look forward to returning on my next trip!
