It"s like a lovely house, with lovely people... a lovely feeling to be at home. If you like crazy crowded place it is not the place, only 6 beds and a tiny house to share . But if you want a place where you feel good, where you are happy to come back and relax with people who take care of you here it"s the place. By the way the kitchen is very welcoming and Egle and Oreige who worked there that time are wonderful and you feel like friend in 2 minutes. Yes it"s a special place. It"s my place ;-)

A surprisingly cozy spot in the old town of Tallinn. I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff was very friendly and helped plan my weekend in Estonia. The floor of the main room is a huge map where you can talk about places you've been to :) Now I have added yet another spot where I will most definitely come back. A place I can definitely recommend. And when you come there - don't forget to try the sauna which is right in the hostel!

We really enjoyed our stay in the hostel, the atmosphere was really friendly and familiar. What i especially liked was that we were offered right way to leave our belongings all day in the hostel and still use the facilities when we left at 22.00.

This hostel has something difficult to find: a charming atmosphere. For you to understand, it is one of this hostels once travelling through many which is somehow special.It is composed of a nice single g room with a total of six beds with a open big wooden kitchen, so you end up meeting the whole hostel. The staff is helpful and always trying to help (special thanks to Egle for spending her time to book my bus tickets ,as well as waiting for me awake until i was able to find the hostel).

Very cosy and clean hostel. Location is perfect, because it is in the very center of the city and at the same time close to the bus station or port. Stuff is very friendly and the idea to put a map on the ground is worth to copy :)

This hostel is a hidden gem in the Tallinn hostel scene. The facilities are clean, cozy and homey, perfect for reading a book and drinking tea. As part of the Backpacker Hostel network in Tallinn, if you wanted to party you could stop by one of the bigger party hostels nearby, and then come home to Oldtown Backpackers, watch a movie with the projector in the hostel, and sit in the sauna in the bathroom. Egle (staff) went out of her way to help me out during my trip.

I have staid at Old Town Backpackers' twice and have been entirely satisfied both times. The hostel is cozy and has a great atmosphere, and the staff is very nice and helpful. The location is great in the heart of the old town, and therefore very close to everything. The hostel is nicely furnished and one can easily feel at home there. I will definitely be staying at Old Town Backpacker's everytime I'll be in Tallinn!
