Hotel Telegraaf, Autograph Collection

It was a great location - right in the heart of downtown, so we were able to walk to everything we wanted to see easily. It is also very close to public transportation if you are interested in venturing out of old town. Only negative was the hotel rooms were definitely a bit worn.

I had the most exceptional experience at Hotel Telegraaf. From making the reservation to checking out, the entire staff went above and beyond. Special shoutout to Raino for the personal spa tour. The location is absolute perfection, right in the heart of town. The rooms are spacious and comfortable (love the passport stamped carpet!). The breakfast room is stunning and plenty of fresh options are available. The hotel itself has beautiful decor, a spa/sauna and a lobby bar with the best burrata salad. I am already recommending this hotel to my clients as a Travel Agent. Thank you to the entire Hotel Telegraaf team!

The Telegraaf Hotel occupies a beautifully restored 19th‑century building that once served as Tallinn’s central telegraph office, a key communication hub through both the Imperial Russian and Soviet eras. Today, the property blends its historic character with refined boutique style, creating one of the most atmospheric stays within the Old Town. The location is outstanding: the hotel sits within the medieval Old Town, just a short walk from Town Hall Square, and only about 100 meters from the start of the pedestrian zone. This means you can arrive directly by taxi (they have permits to enter) or by Uber/Bolt, though ride‑share drivers may drop you one block away. Either way, access is easy without losing the charm of being in the historic center. Rooms are beautifully decorated, with elegant touches and excellent comfort. Suites are named after different scientists (like Morse) that helped invent the telegraph. The beds are truly fantastic, and the hotel offers a pillow menu so you can tailor your sleep. One small detail: in summer, rooms don’t get fully dark, as the curtains don’t block all daylight. However, the front desk can provide a sleep mask, which may solve the issue. Service is a highlight. The front desk team is very attentive, and the concierge is exceptionally knowledgeable and clearly passionate about his work—a pleasure to interact with. The hotel also features a full spa and an indoor pool, perfect after a day exploring Tallinn. Breakfast is served at Tchaikovsky Restaurant, an elegant space with a classic atmosphere. There is a menu for eggs prepared in different ways; none were remarkable, but they were perfectly fine. The fruit and pastry selection is good, though service could be more attentive during busy periods. Overall, Telegraaf is a very good hotel in a remarkable location, combining history, comfort, and excellent service in the heart of Tallinn’s Old Town.

Overall, a great stay. Was upgraded to a superior room with a tub. Very cozy, but spacious. Room very clean and bed was comfy. Loved the pillow menu. Customer service was great. Only downside was the restaurant was always busy and never could get a reservation. Very quiet and restful. Location was great for walking old town.
