What guests think

Kalev Spa Hotel & Waterpark is praised for its central, walkable location near Tallinn’s Old Town and for direct access to a large aquatic center with a 50-meter pool, saunas, and gym, making it popular with families.

Many guests enjoy the extensive pools and spa facilities, though some note crowds, swimming lessons limiting areas, and extra fees for certain saunas or the adult spa. Rooms range from small and basic to spacious with Old Town views; recurring comments mention street noise in some rooms, dated decor, and slow or unreliable Wi-Fi. Cleanliness is generally good but inconsistent, with reports of bathroom odors, mold, or occasional housekeeping lapses, while service feedback ranges from friendly and helpful to rude or unresponsive at reception. Overall, expect an active, family-focused stay built around the waterpark rather than a quiet luxury retreat.

The room was very sterile and we was able to hear the street loudly from the 3 floor. It was very warm inside but we were able to open the window. The spa was more a swimming area for sport with a small “spa” it was not relaxing because of the loud whistle from the water sports. The water was not enough warm. The saunas was not included in the room. That was a big boomer! Breakfast was good, would be nice with more fresh fruits. Location of the hotel was great walking distance to everything. Old town was 1 street away. Food store and nice restaurants closely. If u are not enjoying spa then this hotel was good!

Flott hotell, som er nærmere 5 stjerner en 4 stjerner. Veldig god og variabel frokost. Fint rom og det er rent overall. Vi hadde tilgang til badelandet, som er stort, åpnigstider fra klokken 06:00:til 22:00. Det er sklier, stort basseng, flere små barnebassenger og en område hvor kan mann bade i varmtvann, boblebad, badstue med mye mer. Viktig å vite slik at du unngår skuffelser! Du må sette på skilt utenfor døra slik at rommet skal vaskes ellers risikerer du at det ikke skjer. Hvis du har kjøpt tilgang til badelandet, likevel du har ikke adgang til en del av spa avdeling som er for 18+, det koster 20 euro ekstra per person.

Good location, just a 4 minute walk to Ild Town. The room was small and basic but clean. The room was good enough to sleep in but not a good place to spend much time. The breakfast buffett was nice and was well attended by the staff. The pool area was a nice daily break but only a few chairs in the pool area. There were only 2 lounge chairs. For a hotel with "Spa" in the name, the spa was very disappointing. We tried to book a massage as soon as the office opened on our first day. We could not get an appointment during any of the 4 days of our stay. The hotel is good for a short stay and to enjoy the pool but we I would bot choose it for a spa vacation.

We booked 2 rooms for 2 nights . We were charged extra €36 for rollaway bed . According to hotel website each room can acclimate 4 guests so in 2 rooms there were 5 of us . We emailed hotel about rollaway bed no reply received . First night we could not sleep as on ground floor busy road and pedestrians on one side and people running in the corridor the whole night . We complained and our rooms were changed. In these rooms the bathrooms smelled of sewage with mildew & mould in between tiles . We complained and were told to leave bathroom door , room door & window open ! As vegetarians we were given ‘ham’ sandwiches

Honestly, I expected better. The hotel is clearly in need of some maintenance. To start with, the elevator got stuck between floors and we had to climb out. Both of our room keys required multiple attempts to work, and although we reported the issue to reception, they didn’t seem very concerned. After showering, the bathroom had a strong urine odor, which makes me think the floor wasn’t cleaned properly or that the caulk/silicone has absorbed the smell and releases it when wet. I don’t expect anything luxurious from an economy room, but I do expect it to be clean.

Kalev spa is located in a very central area of Tallinn. It’s easy to walk from there to the old town and everywhere. The spa Center has amazing amenities: pool, spa, saunas. I also loved the breakfast that is included in your stay. The only thing: we had to point out to the cleaning lady that the sheets were dirty when we checked in. Other than that I loved the spa hotel

Bra hotell nära gamla stan med bra öppettider för pool och frukist. Städningen på rummet var dålig, det var beläggningar i toan och hår från någon annan i duschen. Fanns heller ina produkter som body lotion, shampoo och balsam vilket jag tycker bör ingå på ett spahotell.

Surprisingly small room and very small bed. The double bed for two people is not comfortable. The room is clean and the bathroom is good. The spa facilities look quite old. And even at breakfast there are not enough tables so people have to wait. So for a 4 star hotel I would give 3 points out of 5. .

Our room was facing an INCREDIBLY NOISY street, with shouting people, sports cars revving, street sweeping machines and whatnot making a cacophony exactly when we were sleeping. The door was missing from the shower cabin and the pillows were either bad quality or so worn out that there was absolutely no spring in them. One good thing about the room was that the bed was firm. Otherwise, the overall feel was that the place, including the water park, was run down and worn. Also, there was a swimming school having lessons in the water park on the weekend, which limited where we could be. The breakfast was so-so. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Tallinn, even though the location was very convenient.

Wat is er lekkerder dan na een dag slenteren in de oude stad (die wel heel dichtbij is) dan een duik nemen in het zwembad, even bijkomen in een van de bubbelbaden of uitzweten in de sauna. Het hotel heeft het in huis. De kamer was niet heel groot, maar voor 1 persoon groot genoeg. Mooie badkamer en heerlijk ontbijt. Wifi mag wat beter, daarom geen uitstekend.

Kunde träna och gå till spat flera gånger under dagen mellan promenaderna i Tallinn. Frukosten något sparsam men man kunde äta mellan 7 till 11. Läget är utmärkt vid gamla staden och shoppingdistriktet samt 10 minuters promenad till färjeterminalen. Kommer definitivt bo på Kalev igen.

Men siden jeg likevel bare sov der, så får hotellet bra tilbakemelding basert på det som jeg nevnte på den positive siden.
