Tallinn Hostels

Pros: If I could rate 12 out of 10 I would certainly do so - this hostel is the best place you‘ll find in Tallinn for meeting great people, going out together and having a convenient place to stay in the city center. Best things about this place: - Find Ross at the reception or in the billiard area. He‘s exactly the kind of super cool hostel worker that you‘re looking for! @Ross: You‘re freaking awesome! - Make sure to have free waffles on Sundays

Cons: -

Pros: Really good staff (Russ). Great recreation area downstairs. Cold beers.

Cons: Hard to charge phones if you’re on the top bunk. Could do with 1-2 extra showers and toilets on each floor. Not well ventilated in the rooms.

Pros: Breakfast and staff. Just awesome, would definitely come back here again.

Cons: Nothing, but to be a bit picky, there weren’t enough outlets.

Pros: Good staff and many facilities and places to gather; the location is good, pretty close to the center.

Cons: Shower separate from bathroom but that is found in many places.

Pros: WELL MAINTAINED AND SPACIOUS PLACE, WITH KITCHEN AND T.V. FOR A PROPER HOSTEL STAY. STAFF ATTENTIVE AND WELL TO UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM OF A LANGUAGE BARRIER FOR MOST. HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY PHONE CALL TO AVOID PENALTY CHARGES BUT HAD NO PHONE; A MANAGER KINDLY UNDERSTOOD AND ALLOWED ME USE HIS. PEOPLE LISTEN AND REALLY HEAR YOUR NEED. I, OF COURSE, DID PAY FOR THE CHARGE. ANOTHER, GRACE, VERY KIND IN GETTING ME SETTLED IN NOT KNOWING THE CITY ON THE FIRST DAY.....LOCATION FIVE STARS FOR TOURIST SITES AND FOR ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE EASY BUS RIDE TO BUS TERMINAL.

Cons: NOTHING TO REPORT.

Pros: Staff is extremly nice and inviting. Makes you feel like you're at home. The rooms are large, so is the breakfast for only 4€ if you book in advance.

Cons: The shower in one bathroom was leaking

Pros: We really have enjoyed our staying in the Backpackers Hostel! The administrator was simply lovely. He have cooked the amaizing waffles in the morning for us, helped us to orientate in the city and gave us the feeling that the hostel is our home! All our expectations was totally fulfilled plus we got the nice emotins by chatting with administrator and guests there.

Cons: Hmm.. actually it's a very good place. But if it's possible to put a toothpaste in bathroom it would be cool even more.

Pros: the hostel is in a strategic position for visiting the city centre. It's very clean, with a super friendly atmosphere, you can use bed sheets for free, and so are tea and coffe in the morning. But I really reccomend it mainly for the staff: super lovely, addictive, friendly and forthcoming. I would like to mention expecially Luan and Ross, those guys really made my holidays! You can also book some very interesting tour by asking the reception (for example the one for Laheema national park) and discover a lot of interesting and uncommon activities to do/places to go just by asking them. I'll be back in Tallinn and I already know where I'll be staying!

Pros: It is located just outside the old city, with nice clean rooms and nice stuff and kitchen.

Cons: Simply not a lot of atmospher. Only 2 bathrooms for a lot of people.

Pros: The staff and people were really friendly. I did not expect such a lovely family vibe. Some people are living there long term. There are good kitchen facilities to cook and places to chill out too, including a pool table. The toilets and showers were clean and of good pressure. The bed mattress was fairly comfortable which I appreciated. The lockers are large enough for a big backpack. The staff gave good advice and there is a grocery shop two blocks away. I made new friends on the Saturday night bar crawl which is definitely recommended. Sunday morning was free waffle morning and good fun. Thank you Ross!

Cons: The shower mats were always wet and could be replaced by a raised grid of sorts. It was hard to close the door to the dormitory in a quiet way. There wasn't much bad to say about this hostel - it was a highlight of my trip.

Pros: Very nice hostel, great location and room was very clean and comfortable.Luan from the reception was very helpfull, fun and friendly.

Pros: Super nice hostel, in the outskirts of Tallin. Weather was perfect, the staff super nice. I really had a great relaxing time.

Pros: The bed is comfortable. The staff's are friendly. The settings outside is super duper.

Cons: Nothing. Everything is okay

Pros: Very well situated for quick entry to Tallinn center or to the roundabout around Tallinn. Clean and welcoming place with a beautiful garden, where you can grill or chill. Does not feel like a hostel. Rather like staying in a manor house.

Pros: Quiet place, clean, good and safe parking.

Cons: There's no kithen for preparing food.

Pros: I liked the area outside a lot of space to hang out , lay in rocker. A good parking spot near the house.

Cons: Space in room was too narrow i know its mixed hostel room but still. There wasn`t a normal kitchen at least i wouldn`t call it like that, just a small table for hole house. Only 2 showers for i believe 20+ guests

Pros: Good place for staying 1-2 days if you are traveling by car, because it's too far from the center but near to the bus stop

Pros: The house, owner, good energy

Cons: Too small room for two. No stove.

Pros: very poor choise

Cons: everything

Pros: Nice location

Pros: The bed was really comfortable, and the location was good.

Cons: There is not much daylight in this hostel/hotel. The rooms were pretty dark, the common area and kitchen is almost no daylight... all times you need lamps. The overall atmosphere wasn't too friendly.

Pros: Fantastic location (really nice part of Tallinn) and fantastic value for money - comfy beds, and everything you need! Modern design too, felt more like a hotel than a hostel. Bathrooms and kitchens on every floor, and good showers on the fourth floor too.

Cons: Check in the first time round wasn't explained particularly well, especially around towel usage etc... but staff friendly enough.

Pros: Location, property

Cons: Bathroom

Pros: The room was really comfortable and the kitchen had everything I needed. I liked the decor and the feel of the place and the location was really good.

Cons: The shower facilities were quite basic

Pros: Location it is great. Located in a new and nice neighborhood just 5 minutes from the center. Also the structure of the Hostel is new.

Cons: There is not a good common area where to mingle with travelers. The common parts are a bit cold and empty. So great place, but a bit boring to stay. So a part the kitchen was hard to find a place where to sit and chat with travelers.

Pros: The room was very spacious and clean, beds were very comfortable. Location is the best - very close to old town. Hostel neibourghood is trendy with lots of good bars and restaurants arround.

Cons: The showers. They are like gym showers-many shower cabins are placed in one shower room which does not have a lock, so not enough privacy. Showers are only on one of the floors.

Pros: Great location. Clean and tidy. Responsive personnel.

Cons: Photos of rooms look much better than in real life. Not that rooms were bad, just photos are much better (great photos). Our room was much smaller than those in the pictures. But we were fine with that. I missed some clothes hangers by the wall or bigger wardrobe. Also some bench or chair in collective shower was needed.

Pros: very clean, modern and comfortable place, good kitchen, all value for money

Pros: Great common areas and bedding. The dorms were very spacious - it felt like a hotel!

Cons: The showers are fine, but are set on a 15 second timer so you need to press the button repeatedly.

Pros: Fab location and really clean it is relatively quite in there, with good wifi and a basic kitchen

Cons: Showers need the environmental switch off or replaced, as they go off in a couple of seconds, when you are in there. They also need brighter lights in the small bathrooms, as it's too dim. Could do with some utensils like wooden spoons or plastic, to stop people damaging pots.

Pros: i like operative solution to my unexspected problem

Cons: nothing to complain

Cons: Too fast turning off automatic light in toilet

Pros: The hostel is close to the Freedom Square, the start and finish point for Tallinn marathon.

Cons: The staff are impolite! The toilet flushing system was not strong enough to flush. I did not realise the flushing was incomplete. However, the staff told my friends openly twice the flushing issue and then talked to me openly and loudly during breakfast time that I did not flush completely. They should state clearly inside the toilet the problem of flushing and ask all to check for flushing completion. Further, I have asked their permission to use my travel cooker to make rice in the kitchen. I told them that it was a small travel cooker with very low power consumption. I intended to start cooking in the late evening before bed and then keep it on overnight so that I could have hot rice in the morning. They agreed me to do so. However, in the mid night, they requested us to take it away and told me that I consumed too much electricity. I then could not have hot rice for my breakfast before the marathon race. The price was too high, costing 313 euro for three nights. The room is too small. They just let us have a double room to house four people.

Pros: Great location, walking distance to everything in old Tallinn. Very clean and well kept. Good people and service. It was a great experience.

Cons: Lots of noise from outside of hostel.

Pros: location, Value for money

Pros: Nice little hostel in the Old Town of Tallinn, in good order and clean. Very friendly chef! :)

Cons: In summertime when the windows are open all the weekend noise from nearby bars are heard in the street side rooms. Probably it is much better during weekdays and when the windows are closed. The bunk beds could have some shelves upstairs where to put your cellphone and stuff.

Pros: Excellent value for money, clean facilities, in the middle of Old Town. Staying there for 4 years in a row and will surely come again

Cons: Noisy if staying in the room facing the street, if available, ask for the room with the windows to the yard

Pros: I loved the location and facilities.

Cons: I had a couple of roommates who made a lot of noise in the middle of the night and were very disrespectful. They even did not bother to apologize. My recommendation for the hostel would be to not take guest who are working in Tallinn for, instance, as food delivery or so on as the guests. They come very drunk at night and talk loudly while people are sleeping and get very defensive if asked to be quite.

Pros: The hostel is really well located , 30 seconds to the old town :) the staff at the reception very helpful and friendly.

Cons: The common area could be better but still ok.

Pros: Clean showers, clean toilet, nice location, helpful staff, more than enough space in the room

Cons: Pay for luggage storage

Pros: Great location, easy to find, nice comfy lounge and games room. Free tea which is always a bonus :-) my room smelt a bit funky tho... hence the lower score

Cons: Funky smell in my room

Cons: Room: Wifi coverage is not guaranteed. My room #206 was beyond the reach by any of hostel networks. Reception was reluctant to recognize the problem. Wall soap dispensers in floor bathrooms were out of service.

Pros: Liked most of all: very convenient location, staff polite and attentive, availability in the kitchen everything you needed.

Cons: Hostel is located in the heart of the old town, has 4 floors. We rented a room with two single beds. Room has two beds, bedside table, chair, armchair and a small closet. On the floor are 3 bathrooms - 1 with bath, 2 with showers. On 1 floor: living room and kitchen with everything you need. The room is warm. It's best to get to hostel from the airport by tram #2, it stops almost at the gates of old city and from the stop to the hostel is 5 minutes walk. Disliked: poor sound insulation; the room has a cabinet with shelves for things, but there is no place where you can HANG things

Pros: The rooms are comfortable and the staff is kind. Reception is always open. We had the chance to leave our luggage for free for some hours. Common room is nice and so is the kitchen. The hostel offers free maps and has a machine for snacks and warm beverages.

Cons: There are only two showers for a lot of rooms (triples and dormitories). Toilets are not very clean but that's due to the lot of people using them. There's no breakfast service.

Pros: Good location, clean, nice staff. Good arranged shared kitchen . They offer tea making items free of cost

Cons: Everything was perfect

Pros: Great location, nicely sized lockers with hangers. Bed was fairly comfortable with power socket and light. Appreciated being able to check-in quite late (~11.30pm). Perfect for a basic stay for a night or two!

Cons: Small, quite cramped room. Receptionist didn't know if beds had dedicated power sockets when asked

Pros: Perfect location.

Cons: Felt like walls didn't exist, it was way too loud.

Pros: Great location and facilities. A really well run hostel.

Cons: The lack of soundproofing, you could hear conversations in the rooms next door and floor stomping. Only a problem if you’re a very light sleeper.

Pros: All good

Cons: Noisy sound from the room above my room in the 2 firsts days

Pros: Very big room and comfortable beds

Cons: I’m not sure what it was, but I woke up with bites of some kinds in my arm, foot and back..

Pros: Micky, and the young lady from St Petersburg were very helpful. The place was spacious. They did my laundry for 2 euros.

Cons: The room with the hammocks shown on booking.com was being renovated, and was not available.

Pros: I'm only writing this review to say thank you to the Ukrainian receptionist (sorry can't remember her name) as she really went above and beyond to help me. She is so friendly and helpful; on my check out day I wanted a taxi so she used her mobile and called me one.

Cons: The bed is so uncomfortable. poor wifi inthe room not enough soap at the bathroom

Pros: There are private rooms, socializing area far away from the beds, big kitchen.

Cons: Laundry took too long and was still wet.

Pros: The hostel and all the facilities were very clean. The shared bathroom is big, showers are always available and the water pressure is good.

Cons: The towel they gave me was very small.

Pros: I loved the location and the cleanliness. The beds were comfortable.

Cons: The windows did not close well and when the wind blew, they squeaked and it was a little bit windy near the windows. When you only want to warm up a little at 0 degrees outside, it is uncomfortable.

Pros: Very friendly staff and good location!

Cons: The empty black room at the entrance is creepy

Pros: The location was perfect this hostel is in the centre of Tallinn. The check in included a quick tour of the hostel which was nice. Towels and linen are provided for free which is always helpful.

Cons: The reception is not open 24 hours so I could not check out in the morning. I had to call the hostel from the airport at 10am to tell them where I had left the key.

Pros: Good location and facilities were clean.

Cons: The staff at the reception was nice but the check in process was very slow, there was only one person doing check in so it took a little longer tan usual. Beds in dorms are not very comfortable. Common areas could be renovated and cleaner.

Pros: 1. Location 2. Kitchen

Cons: 1. Hard to find this hostel. Hostel name is small. In city bike 2. There's no toilet n shower. I need to go to next floor. 3. Cold, very old. Atmosphere likes in ghost house 4. Bed is hard. I need to put my own sheet. 5. No locker

Pros: It was only good with the location

Cons: The staff weren't friendly neither helpful at all
