Old town hostel is a clean, and aestetic place to stay, with well equipped kitchen. However, lacks lockers for valuables, has limited number of toilets and bathroom. I was misled by hostelworld facilities list, where breakfast was included. In fact it was not. For me it's more like apartment, and does not have atmosphere, also because is located in two different buildings. Good for one night with friends, not very good for traveller solo.

Good points - it was warm and clean, location was pretty good. Staff were friendly. Bad - the walls in our room were paper thin, got woken up by the person in the next room moving around and then their snoring! Beds are tiny. No atmosphere to speak off. Wouldn't stay there again.

The hostel is well located in the very center of Tallin. Everything was nice, except the bathrooms are quite small and smell a bit (They were also shut down for two days as the escape was congested). Would recommend the hostel anyway.

This truly was the best hostel I have ever been to. Clean - welcoming - informative - kind - generous staff - felt like home and comfortable immediately - great for nice conversations of an evening and good for home cooking if you want to make something special. Would return for sure to this place - as I said - number 1 hostel in my experience.

We had a very nice stay in the Oldhouse. It is in the north of the old town, and 2 minutes away from "citycentre". The room and toilett was clean. Water hot, room also temperated. Only Problem were no furniture to put your clothes and one loud night caus of customer partying on the floor. After half an hour on manager stopped it. Anyway, we would come back!!!

it's a nice hostel. Gave me the old town feeling. I was travelling solo though, and I feel I should have gone to a cheaper one because this hostel is too nice for solo traveller. Might be more worth the money if travelling in a group, because the lobby and the kitchen are good places to rest and have chitchats

Stayed at the Old House for four nights. The hostel had loads of character and was located 5 minutes from the main square - Great location!! The atmosphere was really good for us (we are in our 50's) but there was a wide range of ages there and everyone seemed to be having a really good time. The staff on the desk were really helpful and we would certainly stay there again Geoff Gobbett

Central old town location, but also a quiet location. Good kitchen facilities with just one minor minus detail while I was there: I couln't find a bottle opener, so I had to buy one. I was staying at Uus 22.

Hostel's place is excellent as it is close to both Old Town and Tallinn city center. Rooms are pretty cool. The only negative thing that i can point out is the toilets as they smell a bit, but they are cleaned regularly. Great prices!

I was very confortable, the only thing was that it was a little empty of people no much fun, I guess because it's winter.

Good hostel, good bed, everything fine. Free secured card parking was big bonus! Only what was a bit dull, that didn´t got key to outdoor. I had to wait 20 min outside when reception girl was somewhere and nobody opened the door.
