Staying in Narva

Narva sits on the Narva River, where Hermann Castle faces the Ivangorod Fortress across the water. The compact centre and Old Town are easy to explore on foot, with the river promenade, the restored Town Hall and the Kreenholm manufacturing ruins among the main sights. Russian is the most widely spoken language, followed by Estonian, and English is common in hotels and tourist areas. The city is reached by train or bus from Tallinn in around two to three hours.

Most of these 3-star hotels cluster in the city centre and Old Town, within roughly 1 km of the centre, on streets such as Puškini, Lavretsovi, Tallinna Maantee and Võidu. Hotel Laagna Spa & Resort is the exception, 12.5 km from the centre by Lake Laagna. The central hotels suit couples and business travellers who want to walk to sights and restaurants, while the apartment-style properties with kitchens and family rooms fit families and longer stays. Narva-Jõesuu, a short bus ride away, is an option for beach and spa days.
