Radisson Blu Olümpia Hotel, Tallinn

What is your Club Carlson status?
Concierge

Where did you stay? (Brand, Location, Country)
Radisson Blu Olümpia Hotel, Tallinn

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Okay, but nothing special a hotel whose best days are behind it

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked standard, received "superior" but all that is, is a room with a view of the old city and even at concierge level I only got to floor 16 out of 24...

Did you receive elite benefits?
Complimentary Room Upgrade - Yes
Early Check In/Late Check Out - Not required
In-Room Welcome Gift - Yes a small bottle of water and a smaller tin of mints
There was a note welcoming me back as a valued Club Carlson member - but front desk said because it was my first time in the hotel policy was to pay in advance! Compared to my getting a suite at the Royal hotel earlier in the week you would think this older hotel (that has seen better days) would be fighting to attract the loyalty of CC members who might be more likely to return.

How are the rooms?
Small and old and tired. A hymn to brown and chrome. It had a hospital type chrome and Formica trolley that can reach over bed the sort they use in hospitals

What was good and what was bad?
Good:
A funky wet room but easy to get rest of bathroom soaked
The nicest feature was a little row of turquoise LED lights over the glasses
Good view

Bad:
Small room 18 square meters - room width just slightly longer than the bed


Value for money or Gold Points? Would you return?
I got a 5,000 points plus €55 deal for room but I'd pay more to stay at the Radisson Blu Sky hotel just down the road next time.
