Overview

Viru Backpackers Hostel is a small, friendly place on the bustling main street of Tallinn's old town, just around the corner from the Town Hall. We are a self-check-in Hostel catering to those independent travelers, couples, and families offering cheap private accommodation with an international atmosphere. The prime location means it's easy to reach all of the best cafes, restaurants, bars, museums, and galleries and a very short walk away from all the cultural hot spots. If you want to be in the midst of the action of Tallinn, Viru Backpackers Hostel provides clean and spacious rooms prepared with linen and a towel. If you are interested in seeing more of Estonia, just ask the friendly staff about the day trips that are organised to the harbour town of Paldiski and to Lahemaa National Park and many more.
