3-star hotels in Haapsalu
A shortlist of 3-star stays in Haapsalu, drawn from 15 guest houses, hotels and apartments in the town and its surroundings. It suits couples, families and business travellers who want a quiet Estonian coastal town, the spa and the castle within easy reach, without a large hotel bill.
Staying in Haapsalu
Haapsalu centres on the medieval Episcopal Castle and the railway station with its covered platform, once the longest in Europe. Visitors come for the spas, the calm beaches and annual events such as the White Lady festival and the Haapsalu Horror and Fantasy Film Festival. The compact centre makes the town easy to explore on foot or by bicycle.
The stays on this list sit in and around that centre. Koidula Pesa, Kongo Hotel, Haapsalu Old Town Apartments, Endla Hostel and Beguta are within 0.2 km of the centre, where Kalda, Karja and Koidula streets gather cafés, shops and restaurants. Fra Mare Thalasso Spa and Baltic Promenaadi are on the seafront side, 1.1 to 1.3 km out, near the beach and promenade. A handful more lie 0.3 to 0.7 km out in the streets around the centre, while Haeska Manor and Ungru Guesthouse stand further away in the countryside. Couples, families and short-break visitors all find something here; spa facilities at Fra Mare and Kongo suit those who want swimming and sauna under the same roof.
