Rocca al Mare Hotel

Clean, comfortable room with efficient A/C. Nice, varied breakfast. Good public transport to the Old Town; Open Air Museum and shopping centre close by.

I liked the location near the Baltic Sea. I was disappointed in the quality of the room furnishings; the beds were very uncomfortable and the shower/tub was weird-designed more for a spa or honeymoon suite. Also the hotel is popular with cruise ship tour groups which makes it difficult to enjoy the breakfast.

Excellent, everything was ok.

We were attending a figure skating competition at Skoda Ice Arena and the hotel is in the perfect location for it - 10 minutes walk or 3.5 euros in a taxi. Room was comfortable, my only criticism is the lack of tea making facilities - had to go downstairs every time I wanted a cuppa. Staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast was a bit random for me - fish fingers and steamed veg for example.. but there was always bread for toast and croissants, etc. Didn't use (or see) the spa so can't comment on it but I would have no qualms about returning to this hotel if we were back in Talllin again.

Clean & comfortable hotel but very little English spoken. Not particularly close to the old town but there is a bus stop outside the main entrance. Beware of taxi prices when taking a cab from the main bus terminal in the old town - they are much higher. Some of the locals can come across as quite miserable.

It would have been nice if use of the pool and sauna facilities were not charged in the evening hours. The fact that there was no gym at the facility was also a negative point.

The perfect location for the Rocca al Mare Vana-aasta marathon. The start line of the marathon was just across the street! With a huge shopping center just around the corner where I could get food, all of my marathon needs were met.

Good hotel close to the sea! It had a SPA, but unfortunately I did not have the time to enjoy this. The hotel was nice and neighborhood great where you can stroll along the side of the sea. A few minutes walk there is a big shopping mall/center with a lot of restaurants, as well as shops. Breakfast was more than ordinary with some good choices. The room was ok, although a bit small. WiFi was free and fast.

Very good and helpful service, peaceful view. Sauna and swimming pool was great! I want to note the delicious and varied Breakfast

Great hotel, good facilities, not walking distance to center, best if you have a car

This is a really great hotel next to the sea, its a bit far from the center, but perfect if you have a car, as there is free parking. Very good breakfast.

Very good restaurant - we had a nice dinner, good wine, and reasonable price.. Outside major city, but right next to the open-air museum, which is why we went there and stayed there. Nice room, but the aircon system wasn't good enough to cool the room despite moderate outside temps. The front desk provided a fan, which allowed us to open the window and bring in cool air, and saving the situation for a good night's sleep before our long trip back to the US the next day. Lovely views and nice walking path nearby. Breakfast was good, too! Very friendly, helpful staff.

Very nice!!!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was clean but very basic.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The zoo was only a few minutes walk from our hotel, and we could walk or catch the trolleybus to anywhere we wanted to go. Beautiful area.

Good value. I was a little concerned about the distance from the town center however this was only between 6 to 8 Euro in a taxi as long as you get a trustworthy taxi. It was 7 Euros to the Airport. Ask the receptionist what is an acceptable charge for the journey before you go. The Rocca Al Mare shopping center has a food court and is within 5-10 minutes walk if you dont want to go into town for a meal. There are also a couple of restaurants in the wierd looking glass building before the shopping center (you'll know the one I mean!) The Open Air Museum is well within walking distance (watch out for mosquetos if you go!) If you plan on sightseeing then I suggest using the CityTours bus as the blue line drops you off at the open air musem hence if you've already paid for a ticket to use all three lines (red, green and blue) you can save the taxi fare back to the hotel. And they say Yorkshire folk are tight for some reason... :-) Buffet breakfast was included in the rate which I found a little limited as a vegetarian but I'm not going to be overly critical of the hotel for me being a fuss eater. They still served cereals, bread and cheeses. The room was clean with new towels both days I stayed. The toilet was clean in appearance although would have benefited from some bleach as you could see some furry stuff growing in the water... I was a little disappointed that access to the swimming pool was only 7.00am - 10.00am. Overall I was pretty pleased with this hotel.

We stayed at the Rocca Al Mare for a week, disappointed with hotel. Rooms were basic with no tea/coffee making facilities. Room and general appearance was very clean. Staff very reserved and not really welcoming all bar one very helpful young man. Although there is a 24 hour reception, there was no bar was service after 10pm (this was only place to get a coffee/tea at night) Location was perfect for purpose of our visit with an excellent shopping mall close by.

Reception a bit cold, and paperwork cumbersome.

Breakfast was especially good. A lot to eat and the selection was delightful...from light, fluffy eggs to pancakes (Swedish-style), there was something for every palette. The shower was also excellent. The walking trail just across the street was lovely too. Zoo nearby, the shopping center, the sea... Fun spot to stay.

Great hotel, a short tram/bus ride into the old town. The staff were extremely helpful and the addition of free spa use; pool, sauna & whirlpool was great.The restaurant food was excellent for the price and the fish soup was the best I have ever tasted. Located close to Tallin zoo and the Roc al Marre shopping centre, with easy parking right outside the hotel, this makes a great family alternative to the city centre.
