The hotel business is booming in Tallinn, with a welcome expansion in the range of accommodation available. In the 1990s, as foreign investment flowed in, business-oriented hotels sprang up south of the Old Town, with cheaper accommodation near the port catering mainly to Finnish tourists. Recently, attractive boutique hotels have begun to appear in the Old Town. Prices are low by European standards, especially outside Tallinn, and most offer free extra beds to children (although age limits vary). A better choice of furnishings means that the newest hotels are usually the most tasteful. Most hotels have rooms for the disabled and those with allergies, and dial-up or broadband internet connections are available even in the smaller hotels. At the other extreme, the number of hostels is also growing, although more rooms are needed to cope with the peak season. Early reservation is essential, especially during the National Song Festival and around Midsummer. Hotels are harder to fill in winter, so discounts can easily be negotiated.
