Awesome hostel. I cannot fault it. The two owners are amazing people who make their guests feel very welcome. The location couldn't be better, although the hostel is still quiet and comfortable. My trip to Tallinn started off a bit rough, staying at this hostel turned it around to be a great trip.

This is a small hostel located perfectly in the center of the old town. Toilets were a bit too small. It's really nice that they have reading lights and power outlets for each bed in the dorm. Wi-fi was great. Unlike some other hostels in the old town, this hostel was quiet at night, which was one of the most important reasons why I booked it. Despite that, atmosphere was good.

Nice new bathroom, good and quite dorms. Stairway smelled a bit (old). Location is absolutely perfect to visit the old town or catch a nice view over the city in the evening!

The hostel was perfect for our trip to Tallinn. It was so small and that's why it was very familiar! Thank you very much!! And we will come back :)

Location of the hostel was great, as were the facilities (plenty of showers, toilets etc, and a sauna), and they were all clean. The hostel was exactly how a hostel should be, informal, fun and with a range of friendly people, all travelling and having fun. The atmosphere was great, and this was promoted well by the host, Jenn, who was happy to help however possible, no matter how whimsical the request. It is very difficult to find fault with the hostel, and i'd definately return!

Fantastic small hostel right in the old town. the location could not be more perfect! The staff are super friendly and fun and took everyone out for a fab night out of St Paddys day which was a blast! The hostel itself has a really homely feeling which is awesome, and they're getting the bathrooms re-done soon so that should make the place even better. Definately reccomend it and would most certianly stay again!!! :)

A really nice little hostel located pretty much next to Tallinn\'s Old Town square. Super friendly staff that give you all the inside tips on where to go, and they\'ll even go out for a drink with you at night. Highly recommended!

We've been in KiwiHostel in winter during two nights, it was very nice there. Honestly it will be a great plesure for us to stay in Flying Kiwi again, I feel myself as I am a guest in my aunt's house :-) Everithing was clean and very calm. So if you are not a big company and don't like noisy gathering it is the best place for you in Tallin!

The location of Flying Kiwi is absolutely fantastic, being a two minute walk to the main square in Old Town, and easily accessible from the central bus station in Tallinn. The staff were very helpful, able to recommend a range of sights and activities, as well as the obligatory pub recommendations. That said, the amenities leave a lot to be desired - the complete absence of any water pressure rendering showering an exercise in futility. Positives were the price, location, and staff.
