Scandic Hotel Rannahotel

A true waterfront hotel.

What a wonderful relief this hotel was after staying at the Ammende Vila. The hotel is a true waterfront 1930’s icon with splashes of Art Deco architecture. The moment we saw this hotel whilst walking along the beach promenade we want to be apart of it, so we cancelled one night at the Ammende and happily booked into this hotel.

Check in- We were very happy to be welcomed into this establishment and all went accordingly to plan – perfect.

Room- Our room 108 was actually called a suite and was less than our tiny room in the Ammende Vila. It consisted of a walk-in hallway with a clothes rack which flowed into a very spacious lounge room with all glass 1930’s windows that overlooked the beach. Just open your numerous windows and you have a gorgeous sea breeze whistling through the room. The room consists of a good size working desk, leather couch, coffee table, TV, mini bar and a door that led to a lovely airy balcony with a small timber table and chairs.

Off the lounge room is the bedroom which consists of a double bed, side tables, TV, and small make-up mirror and chair.

Bathroom- The bathroom is probably the worst aspect of the suite, its tiny and when the shower is going it floods the floor, however you do have a handy mop to wipe up the water. Bath robes and slippers are provided although the toiletries are limited and the hairdryer is something from the dark ages.(so girls bring your own!).

Restaurant- We had lunch and dinner here and enjoyed all meals. There is an open outdoor terrace and a formal dining area. The only disappointment was the chef would not part with his Red Onion soup recipe….if dining here, it’s a MUST DO experience. tasting the soup !

Unique Quality: Facilities – Well you are on the beach, just a one minutes walk across the lawn. We are beach freaks and love to see, hear and be near it. This hotel is a gem for those who enjoy the same thing. On the top floor there is an open deck for a pleasant coffee or drinks and a good size sauna is also available. Internet service from the room is difficult, however you can take your laptop up to the top floor café for good connection. There is also a free internet computer next door to the reception.

Overall- As I’m writing this, my view is watching the small waves stretching onto the beach and the trees slightly swaying with the sea breeze. To me its absolutely perfect.

Tip- To make the best of your Parnu experience have dinner here and also make sure you have dinner at Ammende Vila. For lunch just walk up the oceanfront promenade to Steffani Pizzarestoran for a fab pizza. Drinks are a must at Kuursaali tavern, listen to some wonderful live music whilst soaking in the true Estonia experience.

Make sure you ask for a suite as the other rooms looked small.
