Metropol Hotel
A beauty salon and 300 metres to the walls
About this hotel
Metropol Hotel sits in the Rotermanni district just 300 metres from Tallinn's Old Town, with Reakoja Plats, the historic centre's main square, only 800 metres away and Kanuti Aed park fifty metres from the door. Rooms come with a minibar, floor heating and free Wi-Fi, and an elegant interior finish that reads more polished than the area's self-catering apartments. An on-site beauty salon offers manicures, pedicures and hairdressing, a genuine extra for a parent wanting a treatment without leaving the hotel. The NoonBox restaurant serves daily breakfast alongside Estonian and international dishes, and a lobby bar rounds out the evening options. The passenger port sits 900 metres away, useful for a family arriving by ferry from Helsinki or Stockholm.

Our take
The beauty salon and floor-heated rooms are genuine differentiators from the area's apartment-heavy listings, making this a good pick for a family wanting a proper hotel stay with a bit of extra polish. Its 300-metre distance to the Old Town is about as close as a hotel gets in this part of the city. It suits a family wanting hotel service and dining on-site over a self-catering kitchen, since rooms don't include cooking facilities the way nearby apartments do.
- ✓Book a beauty salon treatment for an evening slot after the kids are settled, since daytime hours tend to fill with hotel guests first.
- ✓Reserve a NoonBox breakfast table slightly earlier during school holidays, when the restaurant runs busier with families before pool days.
- ✓Use the 900-metre walk to the passenger port as a planning reference if arriving or departing by ferry from Helsinki or Stockholm.

Why guests love itBooking a quick manicure at the on-site salon on our second evening felt like the first real break I'd had since we arrived at Kalev Spa Water Park with the kids two days earlier. The floor heating in the room was a small detail that mattered more than expected, walking barefoot after a pool day on warm floors rather than cold tile. Being 300 metres from the Old Town meant our evening walks started practically at the hotel door.
