Axel's take: 9.0/10
An excellent apartment base for independent travelers, rather than a traditional four-star hotel. A design-led, self-service aparthotel in Tallinn’s Telliskivi district, scored for what it is.
Bob W Tallinn Telliskivi is a design-led, self-service aparthotel, and a strong pick for travelers who prefer independence to hotel formalities. Tripadvisor and Expedia guests consistently praise the comfortable beds, cleanliness, well-equipped kitchens and helpful remote support. In-apartment laundry makes longer stays practical, while Telliskivi’s cafés and restaurants give the neighborhood appeal. Old Town is roughly a 15–20-minute walk away.
The trade-offs are clear: no reception desk, no air conditioning and weekly rather than daily cleaning on longer stays. Breakfast is an optional extra at a nearby café; gym access is also off-site. The district’s major M-hoone construction project began in August 2026, although disruption inside the apartments is unconfirmed. We’d skip it if you want full-service pampering, dependable summer cooling or guaranteed step-free access—the official site explicitly warns against the latter.
