Hilton Tallinn Park {EST}

I'm not a Hilton regular, but my company offers complimentary Gold status and this seems like the best option for a family visit to Tallinn.
My question is... Has anyone stayed in the "Deluxe Family Room?" I've been searching the internet for any information on this room type and it doesn't appear that anyone has written a review of it.
More questions...
- Does this room only have 1 bathroom? It states there are 2 adjoining rooms, 1 with a king and 1 with 2 doubles. I'm not sure if this is a unique setup specifically for the Deluxe Family category, or if they just take two standard rooms and open up the door in-between them meaning we would have 2 bathrooms.
- If this is a unique type of room, what floors are they on? We would prefer to be on a higher floor for the view.
- Lastly as I have not stayed with Hilton internationally before, would my Gold status get us any type of upgrade? I'm assuming there wouldn't be any upgrade options as we require 3 beds and this appears to be the only room type with 3 beds. Unless they were to have a 1 bedroom suite with a door that adjoins a standard room next to it.
Thanks everyone.

Hi SoCalNorCal, the Family Room consists of two rooms with a connecting door whereas one of the rooms has a King bed and the other one two Double beds. If you check the pictures on their website for King Guest Room or Two Double Bed Guest Room then this is exactly how the family room looks like, just with an additional door.

The restaurant in the hotel (The Able Butcher) will also be open.

Breakfast officially starts at 0630. In practice most of the food will be out by 0615, although the staff will still be doing minor things like putting out the labels and rearranging cultery until 0630.
If you are scheduled to arrive by Luxexpress at 1900, expect to actually arrive at 1915. If walking back, you will reach the lounge by 1935. You can also take the tram one stop if you see it coming and you may reach the lounge by 1925. There will be plenty of time to enjoy the lounge. The staff will remind you that they are closing the buffet and alcohol; but they will be happy to put whatever you want on your table to have over the remaining 2 hours.
Outside of the main service times there are soft drinks, coffee/hot choc/tea machine, beer, nibbles and fruits.
The evening offerings when I was there were meatballs and vegetables / potato gratin thing / chocolate ball / mini-fruit tart, then mini-pizza / cooked fish with vegetables / some yoghurt or mousse thing. There was also the hams and cheeses plate and some small savoury bites that you might get as an amuse bouche.
This was sufficient for a meal if, like me, you needed to work the rest of the evening and sleep early enough to have breakfast and leave the hotel by 0645.

We choose to have breakfast in the lounge as we are not big breakfast eaters but may try the restaurant when we are back next month.
Overall a very nice stay.

The taxi in Tallinn seems to be non-regulated. Lonely Planet said the fare should be no more than 4 to 5 euro. TripAdvisor posters said the taxi is not metered and need to pre-negotiate the price before getting in.
Distance wise it is no more than 3km so rather short. Last time when we spent 2 days in Tallinn we stayed at Radisson Blu Sky. I recalled on either Day 1 or Day 2 we actually wandered far enough to reach the ferry terminal without realizing it first. Radisson Blu Sky is further away from the terminal than Hilton per Google Map.

I have NEVER had a issue with them. Some taksis hae taken me the long way when they assume I do not know my way around.
For instance the taxi fare from TLL-Park inn central was 6,85€ and under was 4€ So both were cheap!

3km is not a big deal without bags but worse comes to worst we can certainly walk as all we have are just 20" rollers.

Excellent stay at Tallinn Hilton (6 Photos)
Hilton Tallinn Park
I wanted to visit this new Hilton hotel and what would be better time than celebrate my wifes birthday! It was mid-March when we had our 2-night stay there. And no regrets!
I booked a standard room, but we were upgraded to an executive-room because of my Hilton status. Nice touch was pre-arrival email, which we received 3-4 days before the arrival. Thanks to that, I booked a private car for pick-up from the harbor. Driver was good, and we had a flawless ride to he hotel. And it was only 18€ /way...!
We wanted to visit the Spa and have some treatments there, but it was totally fully booked when I tried to reserve times 3 days before. So no luck. But we went to sauna and pool, and that was relaxing too. During summertime there is a nice terrace attached to the Spa-area.
Only minus during our stay was a fire alarm during first night. The hotel was evacuated to the streets and lobby. Unfortunately no information was given neither any apology for the guests next day. Luckily it was not any danger situation.
All in all, very Happy with our stay, and will go again, probably with our kids too.
Check In
Check in was at the executive lounge with bubbles and juice. The lounge was on top floor with great views to the city. There were refreshments throughout the day, and happy hour with drinks and snacks in the evening. Also continental breakfast, but we didn't go there.
Room
We booked a standard King, but were upgraded to the executive King. Our room was on top floor, same as where the executive lounge was.
Room was spacious with nice and modern decor. Big bathroom, with separate toilet, shower and bath. Large panorama windows and views over a small park and the city and sea.
Dining
We dined first evening at the hotel, and were satisfied with the food. Price was quite similar than in Finland, so expensive in Tallinn-wise. Very popular restaurant, especially among younger people. We had a reservation there, but had to wait 10 minutes for the table. They offered us complimentary proseccos for the waiting time.
First morning we had breakfast from the room service, which was good idea. Very prompt delivery, and rich continental breakfast. Second morning we went to the restaurant. Good selection with omelette station and fresh pressed juices available.
From the restaurant you have a good view over the park in Front of the hotel.
Service
The service was excellent and happy throughout our stay! Young and polite people everywhere. Very exceptionall considering that we were in Estonia. Far from the normal Estonian service.. :)
Also, when I had some special requests for my wifes birthdaysurprise, the concierge handled those with good manners.

It seems Hilton Tallinn Park does not offer any more a complimentary full breakfast in the Able Butcher restaurant but only the more limited selection in the lounge. To have the breakfast on the 2nd floor one must pay the full fee for the breakfast or book with a rate including the breakfast.
Seems the management got a good number of complaints from Gold & Diamond members after the policy change in Jan and the great breakfast in the Able Butcher in 2nd floor is complimentary again for both ^
