In the 2 years sice our last visit there were no signs of any modifications or modernisations to the hotel. I worry that it will start to become dated, which would be a terrible shame for this fine hotel. The rooms are quite small, so only really suitable for a short stay. When you don't have the use of the balcony, the smallness really becomes noticeable. There isn't really anywhere to sit in the room, other than a single stool, so we ended up just lying in the bed for more time than we typically like to do. Myself and my wife really love Parnu and it is a place we will continue to return to time and time again. Travelling in the lowest of low season, we were a little disappointed that there weren't more competitive prices being offered. We decided to stay a second night in Parnu, which was a sunday, but opted to move to different lodgings, due to RannaHotel not offering any discount for a sunday in mid-January. The hotel was mostly empty when we were there and I can't understand why they don't offer more competitive rates to entice people to stay. We were happy to pay the rate for one night, but not for a second night.

The best feature of the Ranna hotel is its location, right on the beach in Parnu. If you're lucky enough to get a room with a sea view, then you will enjoy an experience that is hard to beat anywhere else. It is a very impressive hotel, from the moment you enter through the doors to reception, up the stairway, through to the bar and restaurant. The hotel sets themselves very high standards and they repeatedly meet those standards. We booked a room with a balcony and a sea view, and it was really the view that made us return to Ranna hotel, having visited previously in 2023. Being mid-January what we witnessed was a snow-covered beach, and a semi-frozen sea. It was truly spectacular. Obviously we could not use the balcony, but the view made up for everythings. Breakfast was very good. There was a wide selection of food and definitely enough to satisfy the needs of the vast majority of people. Staff were very courteous and the check-in process was seamless. They even allowed us check in a little early as the room was ready. Lastly, parking is free in the off-season, which is a small but very nice thing.

Room could have been cleaner. Toilet had a weird design with a glass mozaic on the wall, which means it lacked privacy. You could see inside and if toilet light is turned on in the night it will shine on another person sleeping. Wouldn't stay there with a colleague.

Pet friendly. Room had everything including robes and extra pillows. Breakfast had a good variety and was tasty. Restaurant area was spacious and had a nice view.

We ordered breakfast to our room two times. First time they followed our order but second time some of the ordered food was not brought to us. But the variety of things to order was satisfying. Eggs were fried on two sides, the egg yolk was hard fried.

Location is really good, just next to the beach.Staff was friendly. Room was small but clean.

The chips/Fries with our Shnitzel at evening meal :( Also people playing the giant outdoor chess board was a little annoying outside our room window.

Everything.

Rooms are nice and clean but a bit too simple. Maybe some more decorations would help

Breakfast was amazing. Fresh salmon, freshly squeezed orange juice and even champagne. Really reccommend it :) Close to the see and beach towels are available.

The restaurant is a sore point and we really hope that the hotel does something about it. The food is excellent, but the service... We dined there the first night (3 people) and quite a few things went wrong; our reservation was not found, the deserts we chose from the menu were not available, the waiter forgot to bring our drinks yet charged them, the wine we had ordered turned out to be finished, etc. etc. Yes, the food tasted good, but with all the hassle it left a bitter taste. The breakfast was a catastrophe morning after morning. We tried going at different times, we tried begging the staff, nothing worked. For 4 consecutive mornings, they were out of croissants, ice-cream, pancakes, oranges (for pressed juice), milk - you name it. The food what was available during mornings was of qood quality and tasty, no issues in that sense. It was somewhat surprising that our rooms were different sizes, one considerably smaller than the other. Had booked 2 rooms at the same price which turned out to be quite different. See the positive above, though, so we didn't make any noise about this, just wondered about it.

The hotel's location is its best feature. Also, the staff is very accommodating and welcoming and flexible - thank you! We wanted to extend our stay by one more day and it all worked out very well indeed. Parking area may look small, but it served us well every day and is right next to the hotel. Plenty of space to sit outdoors, in sunshine or shades. Funny outdoor chess game available. The beach towels were an incredible nice touch! and even if we weren't traveling with children, we noticed that the hotel offered beach toys for kids. Stayed at a room with balcony which was lovely. The complimentary drinks, plenty of them, in the room fridge were also a very nice extra and made us on a good mood. The room had everything from slippers to bathrobes to shampoo and tissues. There are nice cafes (with DJ playing) very close by, lots of activities for families with children, and we also tried Bolt food delivery services - worked like a charm. The hotel is very quiet inside, absolutely no disturbances from other rooms whatsoever. Our 2 rooms were located next to each other which was very good. When something was missing from the room, like toilet paper or napkins, it was not automatically replaced, but we got everything upon asking, so not a huge issue. Again, the staff was very polite to handle these. Strong wifi which works also on the beach at least for us it did. Very powerful AC in the room. Rooms have been updated and are modern and in very good condition. Will definitely return.
