Although it’s a modern building, on the foundations of a former factory, a quirky interior gives this place a warren-like feel. The rooms are plain and big on pine. Bar and sauna. Not to be confused with the adjacent Rotermanni Viking. E Dorell Guesthouse, Karu 39, T 626 1200, F 662 3580, http://www.dorell.ee The standard rooms are simple and clean; the pricier ones have kitsch touches like fake satin heart-shaped pillows.

The single and twin rooms are simple but pristine, with smooth wooden floors. There’s a 2100 curfew, but a nun will sit up for latecomers; talk about a test of your Christian charity. D Pirita Top Spa, Regati puiestee 1, T 639 8600, F 639 8821, http://www.topspa.ee Part of the Moscow Olympics complex, the Top Spa is monumentally monstrous. The small, cabin-like rooms have Brutalist-style concrete balconies; ask for a sea view. So, it’s a slice of Soviet history, but what keeps it relevant is the array of modern spa treatments and facilities: 25-m pool, gym, salt chamber, sports hall, even an infra-red sauna. E Kalev Yacht Club Guesthouse, Pirita tee 17, T 623 9158, http://www.kjk.ee. Cheap and unpretentious accommodation near the beach.
