I have beer there many times. Right now it is under (quite noisy) renovation, but still open.

The Hostel has a perfect location, but the overall appearance really needs a huge make-over! It was quite a relief that there was a crew of builders running around, but even our room was only half finished.

Super bad ass hostel, and I've stayed in plenty. 24-hour staff that knows everything. Free wifi, common room, clean rooms, heating that works, great location, supermarket just down the way and beer for sale in the hostel lobby, two minute walk to old town. And unbeatable prices, especially compared to some of the other places we looked at in Tallinn. Really, just can't recommend it enough.

I got what I needed-perfect location from Old Town and cheap place to sleep. However, it was a bit noisy at night and some part of the hostel (common room) was under reconstruction. Anyway, the stuff is polite and hostel itself is nice.

They are renovating, when they fix up the place, it will be ok. Female shower room has 3 cabins and you can see through them, but they have a panel, so you can put it infront of the cabin. Great location, you can walk from the port and just a step from the entrance to old town.

If you improve the kitchen and keep bathrooms cleaner, everyone has to be satisfied there!

It is a very cheap and clean hostel. Though there were some construction works at the building it was nice. I just stayed for one night which was nice. The hostel has a kitchen where you can cook, toilets & showers were seperated which seems to be ok but I don't know how busy it gets when the hostel is fuller.

They were doing some repairs in the hostel and there was dust everywhere. Our room was next to a common room and the walls were so thin that we could not sleep for the noise. The location was the only good thing and the price of the room.

Wi-fi is sometimes not enough - I'm used to computers in hostels. And no lockers, if someone is crazy about security, he will not feel comfortable.

They are refurbishing the place and everything is full of dust. An allergic couldn't stay there. As well workers started drilling and making noise at 8 in the morning. There wasn't any advice anywhere with regard to the situation of the hostel. If I had known I would had chosen another place for sure.

it was very quiet, I didn't meet any other travelers during my stay there but the staff were friendly and helpful, the location excellent and the showers were decent although lacking in privacy.

they are renovating at the moment, so I guess it would be so much better when they finish it

Great hostel, very clean and cozy, extremely good location - a stone's throw from the Old Town and marine Station (if you're coming from Helsinki). Nice girls in staff!

I have mostly met unfriendly staff during my stay. The building is big, but the place looks almost like an old abondonned building. Although they cleaned quite often wasn't the please that hygienic. The bed in my single room had an old hard matrass and it was cold inside.

Spacious dorms, large kitchen needs some additional pots and pans. Staff very helpful. Pleasant common room. Characterful old building currently under renovation.
