This IS the place to stay to have some party night. F___ers are excellent hosts. Staff always on duty, and awesome common room/bar.

First hostel I've stayed at and this set the bar a little to high. People from some other sister hostels came by and drank with us. Staff was extremely helpful

I can honestly say this is the best hostel I have ever stayed in. The staff manage to create the perfect balance of having a crazy party atmosphere but with a friendly, helpful and efficient service. Absolutely awesome value for money, the bathroom in our room was of the kind of quality you'd expect in a good hotel. Really cannot sing enough praises for this place, we will be back in Summer. Thanks again to Liam and everyone at the hostel for giving us an unforgetable five nights in Tallinn!

Excellent hostel and will make you feel at home! The location is great but there is no clear sign on the door so you may miss it.

A good place to meet people, hitting the pubs/bars every night. Be prepared for constant barrage of old school rock/metal in the common room, and maybe to get in a drunken fight with staff. All that aside, it was still a fun time.

FANTASTIC!!! If you're looking for a place to meet new people and have fun, especially if you're travelling alone, this hostel is the best choice for you! The location is great. It's very close from the centre of the old town, with some good and cheap restaurants nearby. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There's a common room with two Internet points and a table football for free use, plus cheap beer. Satisfaction guaranteed!

As this was classed as the 'party' hostel when I booked it, I was a little worried about how much of a party place it would be BUT it was great. In the evening in the common room people had drinks and games, which never disturbed anyone in the rooms, they went out about 11.00pm and you could join them when ever and stay out till when ever you wanted The rooms were nice, but could do with individual bed lights. The bedrooms was basic but ensuite bathroom. The staff were good I had a great stay

I traveled alone and thought I wouldn't find anyone to talk to or meet up with. However, the first time I walked in it felt like I was meeting old friends. Everyone is super friendly and the staff are very knowledgeable about the town. The pub crawls are great, and if you drink too much, I can guarantee there will be someone to carry you back.

A great place to party and meet people. The guys are so outgoing and enthusiastic, they will go out of their way to make sure everyone is having fun and nobody is left out. Also, the staff keeps the place spotless and the quiet time is after 11 pm so whoever wants to peace out before small hours can do that. I loved the nightly pub crawls, the cricket and the dinners with the staff. Five stars! :)

Great location in the Old Town. There are plenty of organized tours run out of the hostel so definitely no shortage of things to see and do. Good party atmosphere! Rooms and bathrooms were very clean and lockers are provided for valuables. All round a good hostel and relatively cheap!
