Hestia Hotel Haapsalu Spa

We stayed here for seven nights in May as our base for a birdwatching tour of the region. I had looked at the hotel's website in advance of our visit and to be honest it didn't look anything special. Our experience was much better than this and we were delighted with our stay. The rooms are functional but very comfortable, befitting a spa experience. There was plenty of storage space, a very comfortable bed, a spacious bathroom with a good shower and very good air conditioning, which was very welcome in the unexpectedly hot weather. The dining room was very spacious and the breakfast offering was very good with a large choice of well prepared food and drinks; this was definitely a great start to a long day in the field. We ate dinner here a couple of times and, whilst the menu was a little limited, the quality was great. The position of the hotel is very good, being a short walk from the old town and on the edge of a nice lake, used by many people for recreation and with a good circular walk to gain a little exercise. There are extensive spa facilities in the hotel, available free to residents. Unfortunately we weren't able to take advantage of these as we were too busy but those whom did said that they were very enjoyable and invigorating. This is a very nice hotel and, if we were to visit Haapsalu again we would certainly want to stay here.
