Old Town Alur Hostel Reviews

Very good experience. The hostel is nice and is very well located, In addition the staff is good people and very well behaved with us.

creage, pimpa and liisi take care.

The location is great. It was warm in the room. We stayed in room for 7 persons with private bathroom/ It was very very dirty. Unfortunately we didn't have a shower, the shower was with sand and hair.

Very weak hot water head in showers - when you take shower in one time with someone in another shower or someone using sink - it happens that you have no water at all! Since it is cold - it is a real disaster! Cold in the rooms, sockets working badly. Untidy appearance of rooms. No towels. No security at all - one key matches the room door and hall front door locks (the key is universal and I guess will match locks of all rooms in the hostel).

there was a little bit cold in the room & therу are some broblems with hot water when somebody was taking shower

The room was cleaned, but the shared bathroom were really dirty and there was not hot water to have a shower and it is not thinkable on January.

Very nice place to stay for a couple of days. Prices are fair and the staff is very friendly. Unlike most of hostels, they give free towels and sheets which is highly appreciated. I really recommend.

Next time I'll stay here again!

- I specially liked the helpful tips on the wall (the language phrases on the wall, the sightseeing and what-to do tips). - i specially liked the cookie on the bed. - i specially liked that i got nice big towel (not the small one). - it was important that I could pay with credit card - the staff was reallly, really nice and helpful - it is great that I could get breakfast at anby time ! - it was important to me that there was a reasonalbe security of the buildeing an flat

The staff at the hostel are amazing, genuinely interesting and fun, they definitely contributed to our overall experience of Tallinn! I like the fact that they have local staff and international staff, it's always great to meet new people. Alur is a great place to stay as it has a really good vibe, the rooms are huge and it's location is amazing! I'd definitely stay at Alur again, was a great experience.

Great hostell and great international and helpfull staff. Would stay there again.

I found the water room the hostel's bathroom and toilettes very dirty . There was notably big fool of muddy water. Furthermore, my room mate were very noisy. I spent a bad night.

This was a brilliant hostel, great locataion, great atmosphere, but it was the staff that really made there place great. All good enlish speaking andalways all up for a laugh. Because the Hostel is owned by the same people who own most of the other local hostels, they take you on bar crawls to them too, so you get to meet loads of cool people. Tallin is the place to go, and I reckon Alur would be the place to stay. James Lovatt, UK

The 8 bedded room had 7 beds. One of us (group of 8) had to sleep on the floor (matrass). We didn't complain, so the staff couldn't know. Some toilets had no toiletpaper and the lights in the toilet upstairs didn't work.

Well situated in Old Town, staff were helpful (and spoke English) the room I had was clean and tidy and the kitchen too.

Apparently the biggest hostel in Tallinn. Few common spaces though, and not many toilets which can be some kind of a problem especially when the place gets crowded. Spatious rooms, too noisy maybe as one could hear the conversations from the street.

(Sorry, I can't speak English well) location is good, staf is not bad. but I don't want to recomend the hostel to my friends. The building is old, so it's difficult to open & close, rock & unrock the room door. I heard noise to someone try to rock or unrock the door many times, all day.They makes big noise. (I was wandering why they were not try to quiet to do?) And when I stay a room, if someone is corridor or stairs, I could heard clearly their voice. They didn't care other guests, so I couldn't s

The cleanliness of the rooms were very poor. Our room on arrival had old food in the beds and on the floors. The floors were very dirty and not very pleasant. The matresses were very thin and unbearable to sleep on. Shower handle was broken for the whole 5 day duration we spent there.

Really good people, friendly staff, nice atmosphere. If only the toilets were better maintained that'd be a great place to stay. AND THE GOD DAMNED VENDING MACHINE! Geezas. You come back from a night out, you long for a drop of water, stand in front of the stupid machine that keeps rejecting your coins, and in the end it fails to acknowledge the fact that you have paid! Oh that did my head in... But apart from horrible toilets and godless drinks machine, tis a good place.

Excellent price, good value for the money. But this is not for travelers who like their comfort. Fellow occupants are quite young, partying type, and very noisy. I can sleep through that, but if you are a finicky sleeper, you may prefer to choose a smaller hostel.
