Tallinn's Hidden Gem: The Three Sisters Boutique Hotel Awaits
Alright, buckle up, buttercups! We're diving headfirst into the mystical, medieval, and often delightfully confusing world of Tallinn's Three Sisters Boutique Hotel. Let's be honest, I'm not one for perfectly polished reviews. I'm more about the vibe. And the vibe here? It's… well, it’s something. Let's find out if it's your something.
First Impressions (and the Accessibility Shuffle):
Okay, let's get the practical stuff out of the way. Accessibility is a mixed bag. They say they have facilities for disabled guests, but the reality in a medieval city with cobblestone streets? Can be a bit of a gamble. Elevator? Yep. Thank goodness. Car park [on-site] is a bonus, though good luck navigating Tallinn's narrow streets initially. I’d recommend the airport transfer – just to take the stress out of your arrival because trust me, you’ll want to chill once you arrive.
Rooms: Medieval Charm Meets Modern Tech? (Spoiler: Sort Of)
So, the rooms. They’re… unique. Think exposed beams, thick walls, and a vibe that screams, "You're sleeping in history!" (Whether that history is good or bad is up to your imagination.) They’ve got Air conditioning – thank the heavens, especially in the summer. Free Wi-Fi?! Yes! Bless! And the Internet access – wireless worked most of the time. Sometimes, you just want to throw your laptop out the window that opens. Speaking of which, the Blackout curtains are a lifesaver if you're sensitive to light, which is important! Ironing facilities are available, which is a win because you’re gonna want to have your finest duds ready to go. I loved the hair dryer because I’m a girly-girl!
Cleanliness and Safety: Sanitizing Sam's Secret Weapon
Listen, after…well, we all know what we all been through, cleanliness is everything. And the Three Sisters seem to be taking it seriously. They have Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, room sanitization opt-out available (smart!), and Rooms sanitized between stays. There’s even Staff trained in safety protocol and Hand sanitizer – everywhere. You can tell they’re trying. And honestly, that's comforting. I didn't get the urge to go shower in boiling water upon arrival, so… success!
Food, Glorious Food (and My Stomach’s Woes):
Okay, let’s talk sustenance. Restaurants? Plural. A la carte in restaurant? Affirmative. Asian cuisine in restaurant? Uh, sure! (More on that later.) Breakfast [buffet]? Oh, yes please! I'm a buffet addict. I'm talking multiple trips. Scrambled eggs, the works. Western breakfast, Asian Breakfast… They go all out. They’ve also got a Coffee shop and a Snack bar. So you'll not go hungry. I did see a Vegetarian restaurant, which is great for all you veggie folks out there.
Here's where things get…interesting. One evening at the restaurant, I ordered something that said it was Asian-inspired. Let's just say, my taste buds were… confused. The server was lovely, bless her (I think her name was Lykke?), but the dish was, let's call it "boldly interpreted" – a diplomatic term. Still, the bottle of water was cold, and the company was great.
Ways to Unwind (or Pretend You're Royalty):
This is where the Three Sisters REALLY shines. Sauna? Check. Spa? Double-check! Pool with a view? Oh, you betcha. I spent a solid afternoon in the Swimming pool [outdoor], pretending I was a medieval queen contemplating my vast empire (which mostly consisted of what I’d have for dinner). Massage? Absolutely. The masseuse was divine. I emerged feeling like a new person. They also have a Body scrub and Body wrap. I didn’t try them, but I’m now considering it.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter:
They have all the services you’d expect, from concierge to laundry service, and even dry cleaning. They offer daily housekeeping, so your room magically gets tidied while you’re off exploring. There’s luggage storage which is super convenient. They even have a gift/souvenir shop (because, you know, tourist things). And if you need to work, well, there are Business facilities available.
Things to Do (Besides Admiring the Old Town):
Tallinn is stunning. Wandering the Exterior corridor, getting from a building to another, is just a treat. CCTV in common areas? Safe. They have Meeting/banquet facilities if you’re here for business. And, of course, it's the perfect Proposal spot.
The Quirks and the Charms (My Honest Assessment):
Look, the Three Sisters isn't perfect. It's old. It's a bit creaky. The service can be… variable. But that's part of its charm. It's a genuinely interesting place to stay. You get a sense of the history. You feel like you're escaping the everyday. It’s the kind of place where you can lose yourself in a good book, sip wine on the Terrace, and just breathe.
Here's the Deal (aka My Persuasive, Emotional Call to Action!)
Are you tired of generic, cookie-cutter hotels? Do you long for something with personality? Something a little… different? Then, for the love of all that is good, book a stay at the Three Sisters Boutique Hotel!

Unbelievable Chikmagalur Stay: TripThrill's Silver Shadow Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! This isn't your perfectly curated Instagram feed. This is a real human, with real anxieties about cobblestones and a serious weakness for pastries, attempting to document a trip to The Three Sisters Boutique Hotel in Tallinn, Estonia. And yes, I'm fully prepared to embarrass myself.
Trip Title: Tallinn Nights & My Crumbling Sanity (But Mostly Tallinn)
Dates: Let's say… May 8th to May 12th. Honestly, the exact dates are hazy. Booking flights felt like navigating a minefield of price comparisons and baggage allowances.
Hotel: The Three Sisters, supposedly the height of elegant rusticity. Pray for me.
Day 1: Arrival - Cobblestones, Cold and A Case Of "What Have I Done?"
- Morning (aka, the Existential Dread Begins): Arrive at Tallinn Airport. Ugh. Airports. The fluorescent lighting, the delayed flights, the germ-laden air… Basically, my happy place. I swear, the moment I saw the gloomy grey sky was the moment my soul wept. Then, the cobblestones! I'm convinced these things are specifically designed to break ankles. Dragging my suitcase (which, despite my best efforts, is definitely NOT a sleek, minimalist carry-on) through the streets. Feeling like an extra in a medieval drama I didn't sign up for.
- Afternoon: The Three Sisters… or Three Reasons To Question My Life Choices? Arrive at The Three Sisters. Okay, okay… it is beautiful. The building looks like something out of a fairytale, all gabled roofs and ancient stone. The lobby is, like, ridiculously chic. Check-in was a hazy blur. Somewhere between "overwhelmed by the beauty of it all" and "panic-stricken by the price tag." Found my room! OMG, the window is a little wonky, might fall apart any moment. But the bed looks… heavenly. The bathroom is gorgeous. Everything feels so… old. Like, really old. I'm not sure if I should be admiring the history or worrying about the plumbing.
- Evening: First Tallinn Stroll & The Gastronomical Abyss: Brave the streets again for the inevitable first stroll. The Old Town is… well, it's old. And charming. And packed with tourists, which is, of course, annoying, but I'm also a tourist, so… yeah. Wandered, gasped at the architecture, got lost (inevitably), and almost tripped over a particularly vicious-looking cobblestone. Dinner. Somewhere. Found a restaurant in the main square. Ordered something… Estonian. It involved meat. And some kind of brown sauce. Honestly, I think I was too jet-lagged to appreciate it. Maybe the food in Estonia wasn't meant for me. Probably.
Day 2: Culture Shock & Pastries! Oh, The Pastries…
- Morning: The Tourist Trap Tango: Okay, feeling a bit more human today. After a night of fitful sleep and battling the overly-soft pillows, I'm ready to explore. Hit up the touristy stuff: Toompea Hill, Alexander Nevsky Cathedral (gorgeous, but makes me feel guilty for not knowing more Russian history), the St. Mary's Cathedral (meh, not my favourite). Learned a valuable lesson: avoid the crowds. Maybe I should've gone to the beaches?
- Afternoon: The Pastry Revelation & Medieval Moods: Found the most glorious bakery. Seriously, this place was heaven. I'm pretty sure I gained five pounds just looking at the pastries. Had a cardamom bun. And a cinnamon roll. And a savory pastry thing. Then I took a long walk through the cobbled streets, soaking up the town's old-world charm like a sponge - a charming, cobbled sponge.
- Evening: The Walls, the Whiskey, & The Emotional Breakdown: Thought I'd be cool and go on a walk along the city walls. Really cool views but a lot of wind and it was super cold. Found a bar. After a few whiskeys, everything got… emotional. The history! The beauty! The sheer, undeniable loneliness of being a tourist in a foreign city! Started rambling to the bartender about my life, my dreams, my crippling fear of pigeons… He just smiled and poured me another. At least the whiskey was good.
Day 3: A Deep(ish) Dive / Doubling Down on the Experience
- Morning: The Photographic Pilgrimage Went on another walk. Took about a million pictures. Every single shot that screams "I came here".
- Afternoon: Kadriorg Park & More Pastries (Duh): Escaped the tourist masses for a walk outside. I should go to the beach and the islands.
- Evening: The Longest Dinner Ever & The "Is This Real Life?" Moment: Decided to be "cultured." Went to a fancy restaurant. Ordered like a local. I think I spent like 5 hours there talking to… myself? The food was… too fancy. Ordered a "seasonal special" that involved foam and things I couldn't identify. Then the bill arrived. I almost choked. Then, in a moment of sheer, unadulterated panic, questioned everything. Did I make the right choices? Am I even happy? Is this all some elaborate simulation? Yeah..that night was an experience.
Day 4: The Souvenir Scramble & The Farewell Fear
- Morning: The Souvenir Hunt of Doom: Okay, time to buy presents for everyone back home. This is always a nightmare. Wandered around the markets, feeling utterly overwhelmed by the sheer volume of "Estonian" knitwear and wooden dolls. Settled on some weird, vaguely Viking-esque trinkets and a bottle of… something. Hopefully, it doesn't taste horrible.
- Afternoon: One Last Stroll & The Quiet Reflections: Spent the afternoon wandering the streets. Again. Sat in a cafe, drinking coffee, watching the world go by. It's funny how you start to notice the little things when you're leaving. The way the light hits the buildings, the sound of the church bells, the… constant clatter of cobblestones. Maybe this "old world" isn't so bad after all.
- Evening: The Hotel Farewell & The Pre-Departure Debrief: Packed my bags (again, not a smooth operation). Had a final, slightly melancholic dinner at the Three Sisters. Said goodbye to this beautiful hotel. Did I mention the interior is just magical? The staff? So kind. I'm going to miss this place. Starting to have a hard time leaving.
Day 5: The Flight (And The Aftermath)
- Morning: The Departure Dread: Said goodbye to Tallinn. And those darn cobblestones.
- Afternoon: The Flight from Hell Flights were delayed. The plane was small. The person in the seat next to me was… enthusiastic.
- Evening: Back Home & The Existential Hangover: Home! Tired. Exhausted. But the weirdest thing is, I think… I miss the place. Maybe I'll start planning my next trip soon!
Notes & Ramblings:
- Food: I'm still not entirely convinced Estonian cuisine is for me. But those pastries! 10/10 would recommend.
- Language: I learned "Tere!" (Hello!) and "Aitäh!" (Thank you!). My linguistic skills don't extend much further.
- The Three Sisters: Worth the price? Probably not. But the memories… I'm still not sure what I had. But I'm sure it was amazing. The hotel staff was unbelievably helpful.
- Cobblestones: They will be the death of me.
- Overall: A trip full of highs, lows, pastries, and existential crises. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat. (After a long nap, of course.) I did all the things. I did the wrong things. I had incredible moments. I even cried a little. That's just how it goes in my travels.
This is it! This is what my travel journaling looks like. Raw, imperfect, and full of a whole lot of "me." I hope you enjoyed it (and maybe understood some of it!). Now, someone get me a pastry.
Escape to the Harz: Your Dream Apartment in Sankt Andreasberg Awaits!
Okay, so, The Three Sisters... is it *actually* a hidden gem? Or just a fancy hotel with a cool name?
What's the *vibe* like? Is it stuffy? Because if it's stuffy, I'm out.
Those Three Sisters… is there a story? Do they haunt the place? Because I'm a sucker for a good ghost story...
The rooms! What are they *really* like? Are we talking cramped medieval cells?
Alright, alright, alright... tell me about the breakfast. I live for breakfast. Did it deliver?
Location, Location, Location! Is it actually good, or am I going to be hiking everywhere?
Okay, let's get real. Any downsides? Come on, nothing's PERFECT.
- The stairs. It's a historical building, so, expect them. Like, a lot of stairs. If you're not a fan, request a lower-floor room, or bring your climbing gear. I swear, it worked my calves on every trip I took between my room and the lobby.
- Price. It's a luxury hotel. It's not cheap. Obviously. So be prepared for that.
- Maybe the WIFI? It was good, but not blazing fast. Fine for emails and social media, not so great for streaming HD movies. But honestly? Put your phone away. You're in Tallinn!
What about the staff? Are they hovering, or are they letting you be? Any memorable encounters?
Would you go back? Be honest. Would you recommend it to *your* friends?
