Kubija Hotel and NatureSpa

This place is all about vibes and the vibes were excellent. I'll go with the cons first: there's only one CD/playlist on loop in the restaurant area and if you stay there for more than than two days, it can get quite repetetive. Luckily it's just soothing lounge music, but still something that should be addressed. Lack of AC in some rooms (mine as well) wasn't an issue - I just left the French balcony door open and closed the curtains. Pros: excellent staff, both day and night shift. Well suited buffet options when booking breakfast, half board or full board options that are on par with 4* business type hotels around Europe. Tried the main course (Legendaarne Kubija kännuke) my first day with extra charge and it was money well spent. I think they make their own bread and butter as well because it was like its own separate course - fresh, crispy crust and soft on the inside. Just what the doctor ordered! A HUGE PRO is the beautiful scenery and thanks to the pine forest, we had less than a handful of mosquitoes throughout our stay. And if you know about Estonian summers, mosquitos can drive you quite mad. Small but decent rooms. Twin beds could be further apart, but understandably there's not much room for creating more space, so make sure you know who you're rooming with in advance.

AVOID THIS PLACE IN SUMMER - INHUMAN CLIMATE CONDITIONS, NOT ABLE TO SLEEP. Practically all rooms does not have air conditioning (AC) and there is 29-30 C in rooms in summer, when sun shines during day and it does not get much colder at night . At check-in we wanted to leave, but were asked to stay, given a room with AC, only to discover that it did not work. Engineering could not fix it. Had to have a cold shower during the night to get any sleep. We were told by other hotel guests, they had the same issues, but they thought, that suffering is normal. Breakfast is pretty weak and tasteless, while spa is decent, but outside sauna with lake access is only open on weekends. Hotel refused any compensation regarding sleepless nights, will contact Estonian Consumer Protection Agency and Health Agency about this.

I have been there a few times before. It has improvements. Nr one - location and environment. The price quality is in place. The breakfast for that price was very good - we all enjoyed it (better than in most French hotels). The only minus is maybe pretty narrow beds.

I visited only the spa and took some massages. All the spa premises were very clean and comfortable. Hotel administrators were very polite and helpful. Massage therapists Merike and Külli were very good and professional. Thank you very much!

As always- i love the overall vibe and location of the hotel. Place feels quiet and relaxing as it’s close to the forest. Spa area is smaller compared to other hotels but i find that there is still enough to do to relax. Loved the outdoor saunas and the warm japanese style bath (42°c). I wish the salt sauna had more salt buckets and smaller grain salt in there as the seasalt can be harsh to rub on sentsitive skin. Bed was so comfortable! Bathroom wise- the shower curtain could be a little taller. There was a 20cm gap between the end of the curtain and floor and that caused the water to flood the entire bathroom floor. It would also be nice to have extra towels(big ones) in the room so you could use some in the spa and some in the room. Only con in the room was that the rooms were not soundproof. You could hear people on the hallway and in the next room. For example i could hear through the wall people in the next room plugging in their phone charger. It did not disturb us at all but i can see it being a problem for some people. Also, room was very clean so big thanks to the lady who was cleaning the room! Breakfast was tasty and i loved multiple coffee options- usually only black coffee is available and you have to add milk to your taste, in Kubija you can have latte, cappucino etc. Amazing! Staff was very polite and helpful. I have no remarks for them. They were cheerful and pleasant during our stay. Definately will visit again, thank you!
