Finding the entrance to the hostel was a bit confusing (or maybe we were just tired), but yes - during the day you *are* supposed to go through the bar first. Staff was nice and helpful, kitchen is well equipped and bathrooms were clean. The only problem was that there were no lockers in the room (just outside, in the reception area) and that the ratio of toilets to the showers was surprisingly low and queues were forming. There is a bar just next to the hostel, but noise wasn't a problem.

Nice place. A comment about bathroom facilities. Would be nice to have more than two toilets since there are quite many beds in the hostel.

I would recommend this place for bigger or smaller traveller groups who can enjoy the advantages of having a bar. For people dreaming about sleeping in silence and staying in big comfort is not the best choice.

Good place to party. If you want relaxed sleeps, maybe not the best place

Good fun hostel, with friendly helpful staff. Within 5 mins walk of most things in Tallinn. Nothing that you need warning of to stay there - it's solid.

Nice place. Supermarket in front of hostel, power plug for each person. (But not next to the bed.) May not be enough shower booth for peak hours, but I've never awaited when I was stayed. Might not that easy to find hostel at first, but other things were fine.

The hostel is alright. But it seems more a place for youngsters beneath 25 which are looking forward to get smashed on the weekend. The weird manager thinks its cool to use rude words all the time. I hope, that someone will tell him, that the constant use of the f and other swear words (esp. on signs) really is insulting and not welcoming. Altogether the staff is friendly but reluctant in a way.

Our experience at the hostel was great. Craig and all the other staffs do everything to make you feel at home from the very moment you arrive at the hostel till the moment you have to leave. Awesome character and atmosphere in both, the bar and the hostel.. Will definitely get back to this hostel when back to Tallinn
