I seriously enjoyed and would recommend this hostel. Their common room and staff were the two highlights for me. The huge common room had a bar, foozball table, and a projector for movies and playstation. Everyone met in the common room every night and played drinking games and had a laugh, and then we all went out on a pub crawl. The staff are friendly, fun and join in the festivities. The hostel organises various activities including gun shooting, trips to the national park and walking tours.

Great hostel in the middle of the Old Town, close to all the sights and that square with the church that is on the front of every guidebook about Tallinn. In-house bar is excellent and cheap and there is a daily happy hour from -if I remember well- 18.00 to 21.00. The hostel organises several activities like pub crawls, tours and - believe it or not- AK47 shooting :) Highly recommended, had a great time

Location is excellent, staff is helpful and very friendly. You can leave your luggage in the hostel freely after check-out. Maybe you can find a better hostel for 13 Euro in Tallinn. If I cannot find a cheaper one, I may stay there again.

We like to provide the best creature comforts of home to our guests right down to the 3 ply toilet paper! Happy travels, TB Management

Definitelly one of the best hostels I ever visited! The location is excellent, right in the middle of the old city; dorms, bathrooms and common areas are very clean and comfy; and most of all: the atmosphere and the staff are great. The HHs and pub crawls were crazy (even though it wasn't high season) and still then, the dorms were silent enough to allow a good night of sleep if necessary (not sure why would anyone need that but, anyway..) Liam and all the staff, thanks for everything, guys!

It was not clearly mentioned it was a party hostel and I didn't know the concept before. I found out that most people there were not backpackers but alcohol tourists. You should rename this hostel Tallinn Sixpackers I think.

Thank you for staying with Tallinn Backpackers. If you read our hostel description, our first sentence is ' Do you like to meet other people and do you fancy partying? I am sorry that you did not bother to read this! We strive to show all of our guests to Tallinn a great time and this includes nightly fun in the hostel whether it be our double happy hour (€1 beers), drinking games or our free pub crawls every night. We also have other accommodation options available for those who want a more chilled Tallinn experience. The crew here @ TB always enjoy a 'six pack' to kick off our nightly activities! Happy travels, TB Management.

In general it seems to be a really amazing hostel but as we spent just one night there and arrived quite late it's jsut a first impression. The common room is really nice but closes at 11pm. They offer lots of activities for guests like a walk throught the city or a pub crawl. Unfortunately, the heating in our room didn't work so it was quite cold but the staff offered us additional blankets so it was alright. But we would for sure go there again if we have time for a few more days.

A truly fantastic hostel. Clean and comfortable, perfect for a few drinks before heading into old town with the staff who are always up for having some fun and playing drinking games. Always had a really nice crowd in, no stag partys or huge groups and everyone felt at home.
