    The rooms were quite big with as many as 8 beds. People kept coming in during the night, which made it hard to rest and I haven't slept very well. There is only one big light in the room, no smaller lamps for the bed, so bring a blindfold.

    The staff was kind and attentive, the hostel was clean and it has 24h reception. The space was lively and young people were around having fun. There were lockers for your personal belongings in the room, but you have to bring your own lock.

    Bed is very narrow but comfortable Lot of narrow stairs - up & down to climb to go to rooms Toilets are often dirty but they clean regularly Very far from bus station - one has to take taxi or BOLT. One of the check in staff was kinda cold & kind of broodish.

    A good Hostel absolutely at the door step of old town and walking distance to all attractions. Very near to train station & market Super markets & eateries nearby Very social atmosphere with foosball and other social activities which staff participates Decent wifi speed Spacious room with table & wardrobe Decent reception bar

    Towel was extra 2 euros. All and all this was a quite good hostel.

    I did like the beds, of course there was covers under the sheets since it is a hostel. But the beds were pretty wide and not squiky. The room was quite cold. Showers were good, good water pressure. Kitchen was also spacy.

    The lockers, although spacious, were bad because they were fixed under the bed, so when something was stored at the back of the locker, it was terrible to retrieve the item again.

    Really good localization, super friendly staff, nice and comfortable bed.

    The hostel was well then expected. They have pub crawls or events in the evening that keeps everyone connected and fun. It was even quite then expected and some of my roommates worked in the morning and joined party in the evening so a perfect definition of hostel.

    Ultimately, it's still a hostel, and whether you'll enjoy it depends on your personality. If you're very extroverted and into socializing and drinking, this place will be perfect for you. The staff organizes various activities like table games, movie nights, and pub crawls. However, this can make the place a bit messy and less clean at times. And a piece of advice: BRING A SLEEP MASK AND EARPLUGS!

    This accommodation is perfectly located in the heart of Tallinn, ideal for a 1- or 2-day stay to explore the city. The staff is friendly and makes an effort to keep the place clean and tidy.

    Typical backpackers’ hostel. Great location.

    Toilets were pretty grim. Not necessarily the hostel’s fault - more the people using them. However, once I went in them and not one cubicle had toilet paper.

    Location was excellent - right in the middle of Tallinn Old Town. Only a short walk from main tourist sites. Room was a good size and bedding was clean. The hostel is a ‘typical backpackers’, and since I only needed a bed for the night (4 nights in fact), it suited me fine. I was there to see Tallinn and not spend time in the hostel.

    Some rubbish down the side of the bunk, kitchen worktop semi collapsed - not enough to mar the stay, in fact they are the only negatives I experienced.

    Great location, 20ish minutes walk to ferry, train or bus terminals. Nice room, kitchen, lounge, dining room etc. Good courtyard, nice place and friendly staff! Very nice WC and showers, which were cleaned daily - very impressive.

    Courtyard was noisy until late and smokers fumes came in through all the windows. The communal kitchen and lounge were really not clean, but not terrible given the age of the building.

    Great location in the old town. Easy walk from the ferry. Individual room was spacious with comfy bed, and showers had really good water pressure which was a nice surprise for a hostel. Lots of events to join in, reception staff very helpful and friendly.
